You'd think it would have much longer floor bracing arms, i.e. an inverted T-shape following the length of the car. Or at least some outriggers that fold down. It looks precarious.
So you bolted that lift to the floor and trust getting underneath the car? This whole setup looks like a tragedy waiting to happen lol. I know lifts in garages work on the same principle but they are far more sturdily mounted and usually have some kind of cross bracing either on top or bottom.
@HellzNord Exactly! Health & Safety wouldn't allow this in the UK. I was waiting for it to fall on him when he wobbled the car and pushed and pulled at the wheel.
It's great IF bolted down securely as you describe. It also needs additional safety features to stop it collapsing in the even of a power cut!
@MrFRoDiZle He probably has, but you don't use them on alloy wheels you MUPPET!
Go and learn about cars and then try to construct a more intelligent "abusive" comment.
The mistake he made was making no effort to slacken the nuts off before lifting the vehicle up, he is making work for himself and it's possible the handbrake might not hold fully with such forces. At least he used a torque wrench, even if it looked like he was really tired using it. Better luck next time anyway!!!
@urbex2007 We'll me beign 15, did I realize they were alloy? No,.. when dealing with Alloy wheels its best to use a torque wrench pretty simple knowledge... Now quit your trolling, and name calling while your still young.
i torqe my wheels onthe ground easyer ithink also quicker it took what 45 min prob to set that up but im just jellus would love to have lift 1 with link across top perferably
Whats the point of shaking the car to see if it'll fall off the lift? Thats a counter-productive test. You test it and if it does fall off does that prove you were right that it wasn't on the lift evenly? What kind of f'ing test is that.
@komeezy .. hahahahahaha, you are agreeing with your friend that posted "you panzy little bitch"? How the fuck did he "define me" with that childish statement?? How fucking retarded are you?? You silly stupid cunt have just shown how you are as stupid as your buddy "deathtoyourenemies" ....dickhead!! Not the sharpest fucking tool in the toolbox are you?? Hahahahaha fool! ..no doubt some other retarded dickhead pal of deathetcetc will reply next!! You yanks really are so fucking stupid!!
The mechanic seemed to bolt the lift to the floor so presumably there was some kind of anchor point set in the concrete. It looks a bit precarious to me!

@coltsuperocean10 I have had one of these units for 3 years and it works great. I use it to lift a Siverado 1500 and my Corvette all the time. I have never had a problem with it to date. Do you have one? If not you do not know what the Hell you are talking about.
@coltsuperocean10 I see sissy boy. Well I like to take care of my own vehicles. Grease monkey huh. Well let me see. I have a Masters Degree in Electrical Engineering. A BS degree in Mechanical Engineering and a BS in Chemical Engineering. I am also a PE registered in all three in California and Wyoming. How about you sissy boy what about you. Let me guess you drive a little car and have a tiny little dick.
@FrankStrongWolf ......so you have a bullshit degree in Mechanical Engineering and a bull shit degree in chemical engineering?? You are so full of bullshit you and your buddies of bullshit will explode with the amount of bullshit you have!! hahahahaha fucking go and buy some ass wipe paper you fucking bullshitter!!
I must have a pair of these lifts! It was the song that persuaded me. I don't care how noisy the lift is. I'll just be sure to play that song. Without the song, this video would be crap. Everyone should play that song. Why aren't other postings using that song? This video will live on forever, due to that song. . Or to put it another way... What was the point of the music other than to mask the sound of the lifts?
The MaxJax is as sturdy as any commercial lift for up to 6,000lbs. And of course the Porsche nor any other car has fallen. This solution is actually much more safe and secure than a floor jack with jack stands.
@DannmarEquipment Could you please send me a lifting point diagram. I lifted a friend's Ford Ranger, and while it worked fine, it wasn't as sturdy as it should have been. Any advice? Thanks in advance!!!
@DannmarEquipment That is a great help! Thank you very much. How much are the 3" and 6" adapters? Where can I get a jackstand that will fit under my MaxJax at full lift height? Thanks for all your help. This lift is very handy and strong, can't wait to start using it to bolt on my project Mustang!!! :D
As for the mount, look in any shop, 9 of 10 are mounted the same way. When the thing is not being used just put a bolt in the floor, lather it up with anti-seize first. Cut the head down on the plug bolt to avoid tripping over it if need be. Don’t use that bolt to mount it
I sort of like this thing. I have a very small garage and frequently work in the driveway. Put a set of anchor bolts in the garage and another in a concrete grade beam in the driveway and move the thing to where I want to work. I think this is for guys like me that would use it for a big project that will take a week or a month and when finished put it away until the next project. I would go several months with out using it so its good it can be stowed.
I wouldn't trust the ratings on the anchors in the floor . These ratings are for the anchors themselves , they are accurate as long as the concrete doesn't fail . There is a lot of pull thrust on the outside bolts which may lead to concrete shale causing the lifts to fall inward . I am not trying to be an ass but I have seen good rated concrete fail before .
I could have done this with a floor Jack also... and Checked all 4 of "whatever" he was doing. I own my own shop so this is useless to me but maybe that dedicated guy who wants this at his house would do.
You say it has female bolt holes in the floor. Its a garage, the floor gets dirts even when highly maintaned. What happens if dirt gets into the bolt holes when the lift is in storage? Would you continually have to clean the threads? Because if dirt was in the threads, that would cause damage the threads causing the lift to be insecure
dude, this would be awesome for stealing cars, I mean, you just wait till nobody can see you, take the lift out, lift the car, put a trailer under it, lift it down, tak the lift away and your done!!!
Sure, I can get a car on a lift within, say, 4 hours. Which is about as long as this crap takes. Useless, really. If you are going to work on a car from below, get a real lift or buy a real garage. And, I can look at the brakes of a car using nothing but it's own jack.
First of all thats a ghetto torque wrench to use on a Porsche.. This is a VERY limited use lift for very few people. I have seen it advertised now I know the secret of it needing to be bolted to the ground. Whats the point you might as well buy a real lift.
Kind of pointless, why not just buy a air power high lift jack or use a jack with stands? The whole point of having a lift is to be able to lift it high enough to walk under it. This seems like it would only be good for changing tires, brakes, etc. The worst thing about it is you couldn't even buy a transmission jack to go under it because tranny jacks are too tall. I think its a great idea just a bad result, I don't care if Jay Leno has one or not, he doesn't work on his own car...
We do not sell direct, which is why we can't list prices on our website. However, they usually go for around $1999 on the market. You can find a lot of resellers here: dannmar.com/where-to-buy.asp
Permanent 4 post allows you to park another car underneath. when this is not in use, you don't get that benefit of putting two cars in one spot in the garage. This isn't the ultimate by a long shot. Plus I'm with the trusting the bolts in the floor guy. Nope! 4-poster mounted to floor doesn't depend on bolts not pulling out of concrete. Plus if you want to, you can get the caster kit for the 4-poster and move it where you want it! Porsche people......Muscle car guy would never do this!
But what about the millions of repair shops internationally that use two-post lifts for just about every repair job you can think of? They all use the same strength anchor bolts as the MaxJax.
@SchwartzeBaron that lift would buckle long before 8 of those giant bolts sheered off. bolts are the industry standard and every shop has a 2-4 2 posts and only 1 fourr post. why? 4 posts cost more and when a car is on the lift you want access to all the stuff. when you lift it by the frame instead of the wheels the problems are eliminated.
Excellent product for my situation of a low ceiling and I do part time mechanic work on different vehicles. It allows me the freedom to move underneath without having to reposition a regular jack. Also, very comfortable doing undercar repairs . The one thing that was a little troublesome was the installation. The instructions were not as clear in certain areas so it required some mechanical ability to figure out. Scale of 1-10... I give it a 9.
I've seen this in ads and magazines for the past year, and thought it was actually mobile-in the sense that I could use it in multiple garages or at least different places within one garage, but it's mobile in the sense that if your garage is too small for a permanent lift, you can get this and put it in storage when not in use to free up garage space. I've seen it for around $1800 online, but I think a person would be better off buying regular jacks and stands.
@Ed1032 You could certainly place it in several different places in your garage- All you need to do is drop an extra set of anchor bolts in a different location!
man alive.... i would need to see how those "threaded mounts" in the floor are installed before i would ever trust that lift...... cool idea though, but why not just install a permanent 2 post!
I really don't think this is meant to be used with out it being bolted down. It's obvious this is geared toward the casual home owner mechanic, with low ceiling height....
It's not for everyone, but is for many. No sense in slamming the product just because you may not find it to be what you need!!
I find it to be just what I need for my circumstances...
@joel70605soileau Joel, I think you missed the point of my post. in past advertising they were misleading the patron to believe that it was totally mobile, and gave no indication that it required a permanent bolting arrangement. hence my comments.
what the hell, thats a pretty shit lift, how are you supposed to put a gearbox back in sitting o a fucking stool with wheels? its better than nothing but not half as good as a walk under!
@ jamclam1 - He is using a torque wrench, that is what you are suppose to use on your lug nuts, not the blunt power tools you use. Now a days few people truly care about there car so most don't bother.
@ clarker011 - He is showing that it is solid, i would find it more stupid not to do it. For a home version you know that people are going to be careless around it and hang on it and maybe even put stuff on the hood while it's in the air.
i would only lift my car so high that i could put jackstands under it..

@stevepitbull funny but the torque wrench hes using is morc accurate than a clicktype

@stevepitbull those torque wrenches are actually very accurate, sometimes even more so than the click type.

@stevepitbull A ghetto torque wrench? They're not replacing a head gasket bro, it's a tire... shift down a couple gears and relax.

Kind of pointless, why not just buy a air power high lift jack or use a jack with stands? The whole point of having a lift is to be able to lift it high enough to walk under it. This seems like it would only be good for changing tires, brakes, etc. The worst thing about it is you couldn't even buy a transmission jack to go under it because tranny jacks are too tall. I think its a great idea just a bad result, I don't care if Jay Leno has one or not, he doesn't work on his own car...

We do not sell direct, which is why we can't list prices on our website. However, they usually go for around $1999 on the market. You can find a lot of resellers here: dannmar.com/where-to-buy.asp

Permanent 4 post allows you to park another car underneath. when this is not in use, you don't get that benefit of putting two cars in one spot in the garage. This isn't the ultimate by a long shot. Plus I'm with the trusting the bolts in the floor guy. Nope! 4-poster mounted to floor doesn't depend on bolts not pulling out of concrete. Plus if you want to, you can get the caster kit for the 4-poster and move it where you want it! Porsche people......Muscle car guy would never do this!

But what about the millions of repair shops internationally that use two-post lifts for just about every repair job you can think of? They all use the same strength anchor bolts as the MaxJax.

Does this lift have any safety locks? or if the hydraulics fail the car is going to drop like a sack of rocks ?

Of course! It has a manual safety lock system. You can see him engaging the steel safety locks at 1:46 in the video.

@SchwartzeBaron that lift would buckle long before 8 of those giant bolts sheered off. bolts are the industry standard and every shop has a 2-4 2 posts and only 1 fourr post. why? 4 posts cost more and when a car is on the lift you want access to all the stuff. when you lift it by the frame instead of the wheels the problems are eliminated.
plus, they take up less space.

@SchwartzeBaron 2 post ramps also allow u to park a car under another car and are alot more practical aswell as alot more cost effective

Excellent product for my situation of a low ceiling and I do part time mechanic work on different vehicles. It allows me the freedom to move underneath without having to reposition a regular jack. Also, very comfortable doing undercar repairs . The one thing that was a little troublesome was the installation. The instructions were not as clear in certain areas so it required some mechanical ability to figure out. Scale of 1-10... I give it a 9.

I've seen this in ads and magazines for the past year, and thought it was actually mobile-in the sense that I could use it in multiple garages or at least different places within one garage, but it's mobile in the sense that if your garage is too small for a permanent lift, you can get this and put it in storage when not in use to free up garage space. I've seen it for around $1800 online, but I think a person would be better off buying regular jacks and stands.

@Ed1032 You could certainly place it in several different places in your garage- All you need to do is drop an extra set of anchor bolts in a different location!

man alive.... i would need to see how those "threaded mounts" in the floor are installed before i would ever trust that lift...... cool idea though, but why not just install a permanent 2 post!

I really don't think this is meant to be used with out it being bolted down. It's obvious this is geared toward the casual home owner mechanic, with low ceiling height....
It's not for everyone, but is for many. No sense in slamming the product just because you may not find it to be what you need!!
I find it to be just what I need for my circumstances...

@joel70605soileau Joel, I think you missed the point of my post. in past advertising they were misleading the patron to believe that it was totally mobile, and gave no indication that it required a permanent bolting arrangement. hence my comments.

@ jamclam1 - He is using a torque wrench, that is what you are suppose to use on your lug nuts, not the blunt power tools you use. Now a days few people truly care about there car so most don't bother.
@ clarker011 - He is showing that it is solid, i would find it more stupid not to do it. For a home version you know that people are going to be careless around it and hang on it and maybe even put stuff on the hood while it's in the air.

@DeadTimeCamaro
You don't use a torque wrench to loosen nuts. You use it to tighten nuts.
And you check to see if the car is solid 2 inches off the ground, not 4 feet off the ground. So its best for the car to fall 4ft versus 2 inches?
