Also, I've read of cars being left on it for months at a time without issues.
I have no doubt that it can lift heavy objects and stay there for months. The hydraulics are strong.

I'm seeking to understand if there is a reliable backup safety mechanism when the main hydraulics fail.

It may be able to lift 100 tons and stay there for years. But, if it fails just ONCE when I'm under it, there is no second chance or third chance.

That's all I'm asking. So, again, I'm not doubting its ability to scale beyond the max tonnage.
