They are already positioned to catch on the safety catches, except they are about 3/8" or so above the main locks.

The two post style lifts are the ones that really scare me. Admittedly, they do seem to be easier to perform work under, but I've seen too many videos of unbalanced loads tumbling off them. One local shop nearly let my dads pickup fall off one when he went in for an oil change. It appears that even folks that use them regularly have trouble getting the balance right.
