Bro----- you need glasses !

Now, if it was a great looking chick, bending over, and showing you know what, I could see why you missed it but, a guy with a foreign car,.....?
(unless that's what you're into) lol !

BUT, it does come down and with the rollers, it's easy to move.






Thanks,

Default Lift Utility

It appears as though a bridge could be constructed that connects between the parts that protrude out the top of the lift posts. Imagine a beam with two "soup cans" on the ends that slip over the top.

If that's true, they should sell that as an attachment for pulling engines, loading pickups, and what have you...

Great idea (seriously). Now would you need another lift to move it into place? Or can you dead lift and press a couple hundred pounds of I-beam?

Default Hmmm...

Well, I guess that all boils down to what it is you're wanting to lift.

I'm wanting to lift less than 2000lbs when using a cross bar bridge like that, so I could use something as simple as thick wall 4x2" box tubing welded to some round receiver tubes that slip over the ends of the hydraulic cylinders. I'd have to do the math, but I'd be shocked if that didn't do the trick.

If that's still too heavy, you could construct the bridge out of square trailer hitch receiver slip-tubes such that it's in 2 parts and slips together in the middle and bolts (or pins) together at the ends. That would cut the weight into 4 pieces...and certainly be doable.

Great idea buddy !
We'll talk with them tomorrow. They are very,....busy with the orders, not only the JaxMax but others they have too. I've helped sell three today.
Can't wait for mine, it's so cool. I don't know if I've mentioned it here but, I've thought of other ways to use the lift.

Put a sheet of plywood across the arms and use it as a big work bench for mock ups, welding, lawn mower, snow blower and other equipment repair, and all the "honey do list" that we never have enough room for. ect... it's endless.

That's ridiculous. Why aren't they for storing cars? That's exactly why I went 4 post. Store 2 and work on the 3rd in the other bay. Great for storage AND working on the car(s)

Default Hehe

Clearly the cap isn't on EITHER of the beer bottles. But, in all honesty, I'm mostly concerned about the underwear on the wall and the naked reflection of the photographer in the headlight!

That said, how about this (dark black area) for lifting engines and cargo?

Each tower can handle 1500lbs on a 44" reach. This gizmo doesn't appear to violate that rule. You'd drag that gallows over there, drop it onto the arm (kingpin holes in bottom, top of hydraulic arm up top), then install the back-roller into the fork for good measure...(probably not needed). You should be able to lift 1500lbs with that, and installation/storage would be easier.


or this...

It's because of the open beer(s). If it weren't for the garage and alcohol, I'd be in the nut house (again).

I happy to report that I've sold three of the lifts just today but, that's not my point. We all have only to Monday to buy at the introductory offer and free shipping. Let me know asap if you are interested.

I really don't see how we can get a better quality lift and price, with our limited ceiling height. I spoke to a factory Representative and they have several pattens on this lift so no one can copy it. So, it will be the only one of it's kind until the patten runs out years from now. We had better take advantage before the sale ends. That equals to over $400 plus shipping in savings.
