So, I'm pretty obsessive about changing out summer tire/rims for winter tire/rims. For the 911, that's of course no problem. But EVs are so heavy that I haven't trusted normal hand jacks, so I took my previous Tesla Model X to the shop to swap out the tire/rims. That process was such a hassle that I broke down this year and bought the QuickJack 7000TL 7,000 lb. Portable Car Lift with 110v Power Unit (https://a.co/d/aCO6Bll) so that I can start doing the swaps myself again. Here is a video showing the one I bought: default.jobtemplate.hls.m3u8. I also bought 4 of the Taycan and 4 of the 911 jack points to use with the lift.
Now, I'm not small or weak, but it is MUCH heavier than I thought it would be, at least while in the boxes (maybe the wheels will make it easier). I had planned to hang it on the wall when not in use as shown in the video, but now I'm thinking about leaving it on the garage floor in between the wheels and then just pulling them out laterally when I want to use it.
Anybody else have this type of jack? Any useful suggestions? Any reason why you would not just leave them together on the floor?
