Anyone with MaxJax Experience?
Garage Equipment Supply is offering a special but curious if any CFers have experienced the MaxJax. It is essentially a portable two-post lift with height limited to a few feet, designed for the home shop with limited height and space.
For convenience, portability, and compact storage, nothing beats the MaxJax portable two-post lifting system by Dannmar Equipment.

Jay Leno seems to like them.
No experience here though. Seems to me if you are routinely bolting and unbolting these to your floor anchors, over time, those floor anchors may weaken.
That would be my fear with this set-up.

Just ordered one Tom - will let you know as soon at I get it mounted.
With my application - once it is bolted up - it will stay bolted - no need to move the unit. I am just tired of working off my backside!!!!

I have had one since they came out. It is GREAT to work on the Vette's as well as the lawn mower, neighbor's MC, kid's BMW etc, etc....
It only lifts to 48", but that is high enough to do anything I want to.
AND, I love that it can be moved out of the way....

I dont know about the certifications, but the lift is solid and the customer service has been very good!

The Z06 is the most difficult..I drive up on some 1" plywood and the arms fit perfectly...(no problem really!). I have done some bottom detailing, and the lift is completely out of the way except for the lifting areas. I put an entire Z06 exhaust on the wife's 05 A4 Convertible and would not have even tried it without the lift...
Anything you don't like about it?

It took me awhile to find the right way to the oil drain pan up to the car to keep it from splashing but a few 5 gal buckets works out well. I'm thinking of getting the roll around oil change container from Garage Equipment supply though.
For what it is designed for, and the limits of a residential garage, I have no complaints at all. Well worth the $$. IF I had the ceiling height and more room for a dedicated lift, I would definitely go with a full size asymetrical lift....but I don't

Anyway, thanks for sharing your experience.

Because the side lift points on (the C6's at least) Corvette's are close together, the lift posts need to be further apart. I spaced mine at 130" and they work great, just a little extension on the arms, but enough play so I dont have to be EXACT with the car placement.

Is it discounted? I might have to make up with my ex girlfriend for at least a day...she's got the Costco card
Yep...quick Google search shows it at $1,899.00. It also means saving on shipping cost which I'm sure adds a few hundred bucks.

The distributor is up in Moorpark, CA...I just stopped by on the way to see the boys at college in Camarillo and drove home with the lift...
