I assume that the lift has a manual locking system?
Yep. Each corner has a latch that drops into a slot in each of the
vertical posts. There are slots every 3 inches or so. You can adjust the
position of the slots so the latches drop in where you want them to.
It goes up using a 220v motor and hydraulic pump driving a long cylinder
located horizontally under one of the ramps. The cylinder in turn
operates four cables that do the lifting. To lower, you raise it slightly
to take the weight off of the latches then, holding a release lever, you
move a hydraulic valve with a small lever.
The weight lowers it at a controlled rate.
I laid this whole thing out using a CADD program before I bought it. It
actually fits exactly like the numbers said it would.

We have a Quaker Steak and Lube franchise near us
(

of the franchise is a car and bike collector and displays his toys in the
restaurant. For cars he uses a lift similar to the one you have:
