what is that?

VikingTrad3r

its a lift that fits in your 8ft ceiling garage and you sit on a roller stool under it. its portable meaning the posts can be moved out of the way.

it will lift my denali xl as well. even my diesel dually will squeek in. i have researched the bejesus out of this thing. its over engineered galore and has a rediculously huge over 100% safety factor from what i read. my concrete is 4", more or less, and the only big departure from manufactuer recommended install was guys saying to use the epoxy assisted anchors not just the wej it ones. i am soooo stoked and im going to put in a couple footings in my driveway whuch is crushed rock, so i can hoist the cars up and get them all degreased and scrubbed down outside. booyah.

I got my Max Jax a couple years ago and I really like it. Like PLRX, I had to reinforce my garage floor as the floor thickness was only 2.5" where the posts were going to go. The original specs for the garage floor called for a minimum 4" slab and after drilinga few test holes, it was clear the original contractor couldn't read blueprints...

I had a company cut out two 4'x4' sections of floor and then dig down 12" and pour the new pads using a 5000 lb psi mix. They also laid rebar and anchored the ends to the existing floor. I used 7" long epoxy anchors instead of the WejIt anchors that were provided. I drilled the holes myself with a hammer drill, being careful to get the holes as vertical as possible.

When you do the measuring for the post spacing, make sure you carefully measure!! IIRC, I used 135" between the back side of the posts. That allowed for both my C4 and C5 to be easily lifted.


I still haven't hung the pump on a wall yet but that will save moving the cart around and hooking up the hydraulic lines. Get another pair of quick disconnect couplers for the hoses The supplied ones are not that good. Definitely add a separate 20 Amp electrical circuit with 12 gauge wire and use a 20A socket. The power cord is only 5' long so get a 12 gauge extension cord. That will allow you to move the pump cart around.

I would love to get one of these but with my compression slab, no coring, drilling or cutting into the floor for me.

VikingTrad3r

yeah doesn't look like there is much in the way of interest.
