Sure- go find a failed gas station where the bits & pieces are up for 
auction. When I bought mine, the going rate was $500 complete; the single tube 
air-over-oil lift works off a 1-horse or larger air compressor. You regulate how far 
up it goes with a valve, and a separate tube with safety stops at certain 
points will hold the load at any height between 1 ft and about 7 feet. Most are 
rated at 7-8000 lbs and overhauls are simple since the main tube seals with a 
pair of simple o-rings. You dig a 7-ft-deep hole 24" in diameter, drop the 
cylinder in, set it vertical and fill the hole in around it with fine sand; the 
setup is not permanent and an be pulled any time (with a crane!) Good luck- J
