You have a forklift and truck? Shipped weight was north of 800 lbs. And the shipping is free anyway, it's the liftgate service they charge you for.

I want to say they drop ship it anyway.

i would need a custom garage for one of those, mine is not high enough

You shouldn't need to have a crazy high ceiling, i dont think you would have too much trouble using it for major service but it's really just for easily getting underneath the car and tire changes...etc.

You don't. I've got a 9" ceiling and I can use the full height of the lift.

^^yea i saw pics of your setup awhile back, very nice.

Chuck33079 · 03-25-2014, 01:43 PM

Considering one of these things costs just a little more than an a name brand cat back and test pipes or less than a good set of coilovers, I'm shocked more people haven't bought one. I'm kicking myself for not doing it earlier. For a car guy, having a lift is life changing.

What about these? Anyone have one? I just ordered one for work!

Racecar Pit Lift Jacking System - QuickJack

It's small and portable and lifts 3500lbs. Only good for 20" though so not the best solution. Price is right though!

Very cool.

$1000 and you can take it anywhere there is a plug in.... I like that!

That's the best part. And you can use it even if you're renting, where the one in the OP won't fly unless you own the garage.

I just looked through a few quick pics but is there a safety for this setup? No way I'm comfortable crawling under a car if the only thing holding it over me is the hydraulic ram.

Chuck's setup is fantastic! Pretty sure my G has spent more time on it than his Z.

Whoa... $2k is a lot cheaper than i thought one of these would be.

Pretty easy to install too assuming you have a hammer drill for concrete.

Yes, it has a safety arm that locks into place at full lift height. But I would still throw jackstands under for piece of mind!

Another option for garages with normal ceiling heights.
