four post car lifts???

onefastmustang · #1 (**permalink**) 05-08-2009, 06:35 PM

Are there any dealers in the bay area that sell four post car lifts?? I want to get one for my garage but delivery could be a real tough one in my neighborhood. If I had a trailer it probably wouldn't be so bad though.

Mike,
From what I understand the GoodGuys show in Pleasanton is at the end of the month. They usually have a bunch of them for sale out there. Sometimes there is a good show deal going on.

Just checked their web site.

why not try a two post thats portable. can't stand under it but if you get the right creeper..............a bi fold one like my snap-on creeper and you could fall asleep under your car.

Are you happy with your max jax that is shown in your pic

I have another "Group Buy" sale on the 2-post MaxJax lift here.

$1,950 FREE SHIPPING.

Another Sale- MaxJax Lift. $1,950 Free Shipping.

Ask Jeff above, myself or anyone that has one on how well it works, satisfaction with the company and the high quality of this lift. I have one in a single stall garage and love it. There's ample room on both sides of the lift to walk around. Although it's totally portable and I could remove the anchor bolts to store the system in a corner, there's really no need for me. The arms move past 90 degrees out of the way. I'll leave them and just store the pump and it's cart in a corner of the garage. That simple.

The 4-post is really intended for storing,.... two cars and not as friendly to use as a work lift. You have to have at least two bridges if not four and 2-4 bottle jacks and jack stands to get the car up in the air.

If you want more details, ask questions or for an order, PM or email me anytime. I'll also give you my phone number.

Thanks for the idea but I wanted a place to store a car too.. I have a very full garage with Jet ski's, motorcycles, cobra, mustang and more. So my only option is to go up..

Have you researched them and decided what you are looking for in a brand? A friend of mine has 3 of them in his 6 car garage from a company in Socal and loves them. Im trying to get the brand name from him.

That is actually the one I am was thinking.. I found a reseller that has the D-7, caster kit, drip trays and jack trays for 1768 + shipping, no taxes. Problem is they don't allow tractor trailers in my neighborhood and I don't have a trailer to go get it at the freight dock.

Costco sells this same unit for 1899 shipped but I don't think it comes with the casters and I would have to pay tax on it. But I beleive it can be drop shipped to the local warehouse where I could go and unpack it and put i in my very large SUV.

A couple of trips later I am done.

I have a car trailer, I live in Fremont, just a few miles away.
Did so much research, I've totally confused myself, except for deciding a 4 post lift would be best for me.

onefastmustang · #15 (**permalink**) 05-09-2009, 02:40 PM

I sent you a pm Wayne.

i love my 4 post lift another cobra owner around the corner has a 2 post it doesn't go as high but its portable and takes up less room.
if you get the 4 post get the jack they have to raise the car up with it.

you could alwasy have it delivered to your work if they have a forklift to unload it and put it on a trailer to take home
