Anyone out there have a portable scissor lift @ there home Garage. I am looking for a lift for my garage at the house, I got about four feet I could go up and am sick of floor jacks and jack stands!!!

 

A buddy of mine has one. Here's his post.

 

A friend of mine has this one.

It's awesome!

 

this is what i have, but it's not portable. made by bendpak which i spend around more than $3000.

 

 

 

 

Very nice, thats what I am looking for!!!

 

dont forget to check out northern tool and equiptment; huge selection of these lifts ,

 

This seems like a nice lift for under $2000!!!!!!!

 

Agreed. At first, I was like: ...but then I saw they require you to anchor the lift posts to the floor when in use.

I have a Bend-Pak MD-6XP mid-rise scissor lift I bought from asedeals.com a couple of years ago. I love my lift but if the Max Jax had been available (or I'd known about it), I would have bought that instead. This has benefits of a 2-post lift in a home garage w/o the drawbacks (un-used lifting height & living with those posts during the 99% of the time the garage is used for parking). Plus, it takes up less space when stored, whereas my lift is a space-hog when not in use. I've been making plans to recess the lift into my garage floor.

Damn... I wonder if anyone would want to buy my scissor lift...

 

That Max Jax lift looks fantastic.... Gotta start saving my dimes and nickels.

 

Yeh, that BendPak is the schnizzle. I want one...
The anchors drill into the concrete and remain flush (females) -- all you do is bolt the lifts in place when needed. You could leave them in place, or remove them, depending on the other uses of your garage.

Darn it...

The lift can actually get a car higher, but this works well for most tasks. I think we were doing tranny oil changes that day on 3 or 4 cars.

 

you could use sleeve anchors with the threads in the ground and then pull the bolts when you wanna move it .

 

Well, in fact, that's how it's done -- I checked the website and had to move my hand off the mouse to avoid clicking add to cart...
But you drill females into the garage floor then roll the lift into place and bolt that sucker to the floor, lift the car, etc...
Reverse the procedure.
I'm convinced

 

it's on my list. now funding the list is the only thing holding back my euphoria it seems .

 

Yeah... I'm all over that bad boy... might be the last straw for the wife, though...

I'd sure as heck be using my impact wrench to drive all them bolts, though.... love how the video shows the dude doing it by hand and torquing them...

 

Me too... the one thing that holds me back (besides $$$) is my garage width (typical 1-car width) may make the posts a bit of a pain when the lift is in use. With my current lift, I can have the car up in the air and easily walk around it.

 

The Max Jax website.

Looks pretty nice if you don't have an issue with side clearance like IanF mentioned. And if you have the extra space for storing it when not in use.

 

The MaxJax lift works great!

 

That's too cool. But could you clean up the garage a bit?

 

Heh..no problem

 

Where did you get one? Every site I've found so far are pre-orders.

 

Holy Carp I want one of those lifts..... need to buy more lottery tickets.
