Ian,
We got a Milenco 5-6 weeks ago, tried it out but there was no-way it was going to lift our van (1500 kg) off of the ground. On the second attempt, the universal joint coupling just started to fall apart!
Took it back and exchanged it for the Bulldog which is much more substantial although a bit heavier. It also has a less 'fine' pitch to the thread, so less winding is needed to reach the desired level, but a decent ratched with socket will be needed.
