I have one installed in my garage , and it's awesome to work on the car .

 

Agree, If I had the Jack set up, I would just create a host on the ceiling and raise it to the ceiling for storage. obviously create some safety brackets that would prevent it from falling down.

 

Geez, you have all the good stuff in your garage. What is your floor thickness?

 

tire machine , balancing machine , lift , huge compressor press and couple more staff , all this just because we don't have any performance shop in the area for german cars . any way , can tell how thick it is , I install it exactly as the manual say, have the lift installed 4 years already , had no issues with it , heaviest car I had on it was Q7 and nissan Armada , friends come to visit the lift

 

heres mine in action

 

Scary, Max weight for the system is 6000 lbs. A Armada is 7,000 lbs. and a Q7 is just over that.


I don't think you can tell how thick your foundation is now without drilling another hole.

 

I don't remember , was 4 years ago , lift did the job , they tells you it's 6000 lb , but you have a little room over that .

 

Hi...Yes, it appears very solid and balanced. I guess if you try hard enough you canknock any car off of any lift But it seems very sold. Also has locking stops at various heights, so it would have to break two solid stell shafts to fall on you.

These are all less than $2000. I got mine freighted from an Automotive supplier in Indiana. I see prices from $1299.00 on up. They are portable by pulling them with the included dolly, but they weigh about 1000 lbs.. This one carries up to 6000 lb vehicle, so easily handles even the Cayenne and BMW X5.

You can do a search on Google for "mid rise scissor lift" and you will find lots of good info.. It brings the bottom of the car about 40 + onches off the ground in less than 15 seconds...And runs on regular 120 outlet.

Good luck.

There's some good reading and info here:

I Have the Maxx Jax as well.

My garage floor was old and pretty thin, instead of having a slab poured i cut out a 24inch square for each side of the lift and poured 18 inches of high strength concrete reinforced with rebar which extended under the existing concrete for a wider "base".

This is a great lift, FYI Costco sells them on their website which includes shipping. (got mine as a group buy from Garage Journal)

Got it from a local distributor here in Salt Lake, also went with the heavy duty
jack that rolls in the center.

 

Nice! Looked at the website. Can you change tires with this lift? Didn't see anything on that.
