Most lifts come with a jack tray. So you can use a bottle jack to jack up the one end of the carlike the front end. But if your planning to do so work the requires the the car to be supported by jack stands, like front suspension rebuild. You can do it but you have position the car perfectly on the run way to fit the jack stands under the frame rails or make something that would span the runways and provide support for the jack stand.
A rolling bridge jack will roll into position and you lift the car from where you put the jack stands. Lift the car then lower it down into the locking position.
