The Speedlane accomodated 95 percent of the general purpose vehicle fleet.

Problems: The following problems were encountered: The 1987-92 full size Dodge Vans, 1990 model Ford Rangers, and 1997 model F150 Ford Pickup would not fit on to ramps.

Advantages: Less set-up time required for lifting uni-body vehicles and eliminates the need to manually position the swing arms under the frame.
