I have one of the “see saw” lifts, not sure this is ideal for older people, if you use a drill to raise it, I have a 2,000 watt drill and it really struggles, so much so that I have to use the manual crank. If you tip it forward so the back end is up, it’s great for working on the back axle or rear breaks, but it’s a bit precarious and so you really need a tall axle stand to ensue it stays in that position. This would have been really useful 40 years years ago, but now I would favour something easier and more stable.
