A couple of caveats when choosing product:

The hydraulic mechanism on some lift/dollies can sometimes go bad. Confirm you can get it rebuilt. Think hydraulic floor jacks made overseas and parts/service availability.

Other versions use a mechanical ratcheting mechanism to raise/lower. Seems like this type would have a longer service life.

The rollers that support the tires on some could be too narrow for your vehicle tires. If tires are wider than the roller width, it'll be more difficult for the jack to operate if at all. I've seen this difference between the current and the older version of the HF lift/dolly.
