At my shop, we leave cars up at night and slide another car underneath. It’s the locks that secure it no matter what happens to the hydraulics.

The locks keep it in place until you need to lift it off the locks. Then the side without the air starts lifting and the one with air sits there a while, then starts jumping up 1/2 an inch at a time. By the time both posts are off the locks one side of the car is 6" higher than the other. This is disconcerting enough without a second car underneath, I would not want to experience it with a valuable car stacked underneath.
It's easy enough to run it up to the top and bleed it so I'm waiting until I have time to delve into why the one cylinder keeps getting air in it. Until then, it stays on the floor at night.
