Out door lift

Gentlemen, I am in the market for an outside pressure washing station to keep the underside of my '66 f-250, '65 Falcon, '65 E-pickup ,'76 CJ7and I guess my wifes Gladiator as well clean from the evil salt of New England. I thought the best solution for me would be a portable lift. I found this, does anyone else have a solution or have one of these?

I have a 2 post in my shop, but didn't want to try and pressure wash indoors. Might also be good for body work on my projects outdoors in the good weather. And as an added bonus if I have something apart on the lift in the shop it's a quick oil change or job inspection lift.

I've got one of these. https://www.quickjack.com/car-lifts/7000tl/

Doesn't get much more portable and can be used with either ac or dc depending which power unit you select. Just pick it up on one end and roll it where ever needed (comes with extra wheels) connect the hoses and up they go. Caveat is it doesn't lift very high but it's high enough to do most maintenance items and I would imagine with a right angle pipe for the pressure washer very easy to get all of the undercarriage as it's completely exposed front to rear.

Works great for my truck and my wifes suv.

If budget isn't a consideration try one (or more) of these: Column Lift

That I can understand. I'm closing in on 60 and getting on a creeper is becoming less and less likely I'll do the work. More and more likely I'll pay someone else to.

LOL, I just bought a kneel down creeper at Harbor Freight because my knees don't like hitting the concrete when I kneel to set up the lift arms... Old age isn't anything I recommend to my friends.
