Need a lightweight automotive lift that is significantly lighter than existing QuickJack or scissor lift models, which are too heavy to carry from a basement to a vehicle.

Existing portable lifts like QuickJack and scissor lifts are too heavy (weigh as much as they lift) for a person without a garage to move from basement to driveway; aluminum versions don't exist at the desired weight reduction.
