Default Group Buy-"MaxJax" 2 Post, 4 Arm, Home Garage Lift. $1,800 FREE SHIPPING !

ANOTHER SALE- (sorry, I can't find a way of changing the $1,789 price on the heading)?

Although the introductory price is over, I've talked with the company to have another sale. The price is $1,800 and......Free Shipping in the lower states !

HERE IS THE LINK-
http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/s...ad.php?t=35446

I have been using mine and I could not be happier. I have two stools, one with a telescoping seat and one that is a low profile that work great. If I'm lazy, I also lay down on my creeper. I just removed my engine and transmission, for my new side oiler & tranny, and it's done with ease. From major work to just maintenance and cleaning, I won't do without it.

I'll mention again that I do not work for the company. When I like products I like to share these with all of you through a "Group Buy". It's good for us and the company.

This car lift is for most home garages with low 8' ceilings. Mine is 9' so this one will be perfect. It's a two post four arms just like most professional auto mechanics use. I've been researching lift's and almost bought the "Kwik Lift" but after seeing this lift and how much more you can do, it was a no brainier.

This system is portable meaning, you can remove the bolts in the post base, tip it back on the rollers and store it all in a corner out of the way. I just leave mine anchored, as it's not in the way. I do disconnect the hose's and wheel the pump cart in a corner.

The arms more out 90 degrees, so even if you leave the posts in the ground, the arms will be out of the way, or. just remove the arm pins and store them. This is how I will use mine, no sense in removing the posts unless you won't be using it all the time.

When I built my Cobra, and I wish I had the lift then !

The car is so low, that even with my friends larger lift at his mechanics shop, I have to drive up on 2x4' on all wheels to get the arms under the frame rails.
I have to do the same at home and,....take my low profile jack to lift the front up a few inches, then the back few inches, then the back, to the front again ect.... until I get it high enough to lay on my back. It's quite a job and takes a lot of time. THEN, reverse the process. Hell, by the time all this happens, I'm pooed-out !

They even have a optional ATV/motorcycle adapters that easily converts one post into a full service motorcycle lift.

I will try to answer any questions you have, and I can post or email anyone more photo's. Also, I'm not, a salesman for this company, I just like spreading the word to all car guys if I like a product.

Here are some photo's.

Thank you,
Kevin Gilmore

Shipping amount will determine on your location. If you want to email me with your address, I'll find out for you.

It is made by "Dannmar" and is called "MaxJax". Below is the company's site.

Here is more information and a video,.... on how convenient, simple and how nice it is if you need to store the unit.

Yes, and I plan on making or buying tire stops mounted on the floor, so I can be at the exact spot I need the arms, to the frame, for the cobra. Takes out the guessing. Know what I mean Vern.

Hello Sparks, all you should do if you're storing a car is remove the wheels/tires, from the car. That is what puts extra weight on the suspension.

Email me at- cobrakev@galaxycable.net
if you have futher questions or want to order.

Thanks,

I'll add my .02.
If your intentions is to just store 1 or 2 cars and have a high ceiling, a 4 post is fine. As for working on a car, a 4 post will need a bridge across the ramps to hold 2 or more jacks to lift the car in the air.

I don't believe there is another low ceiling home garage lift like the MaxJax on the market. I've thought of some other uses with the arms. It could convert into a large or small work bench by laying plywood in the arms, if you are restoring a body or truck cab, make a simple welding table, working on garden tractors, ect.... many use's other than working on cars.

Lift's aren't for storing cars. The're for working on cars. 2 post is the way to go. I bought mine 5 years ago. It is without a doubt the best tool I have ever invested in. I use it all the time.

How thick does the concrete floor have to be that you are anchoring it to? Anyone know what the average thickness of a residential garage floor is?

The concrete needs to be 4", which most home garages are, and have reinforcement like rebar or steel mesh wire.

You'll have to drill the floor for some type of bolt anchors to hold it down. Wonder what that would cost?? Did not see the bolts at first

lol !!!

You DO,..... have to bolt it down. You drill the holes, put in the included expansion sleeves and use the bolts to anchor the posts down. "Portable" means, you can take out the bolts and move the system in the corner of your garage or, take it to grandmas house, and use it there too !
