I have a 4 post lift in my shop with rolling jacks. If you have the means, THIS is the way to go.

I also have a 3500 QuickJack setup that I bought for taking to the track. It's a little cumbersome, but I had a jack slip years ago at the track, and crushed a brake line on my racecar. After that, I KNEW I was buying a QuickJack.

I originally bought the 5000, but sold it when the 3500 came out as that's all I need. I have used the 3500 with my Corvette a few times. It works well. The QuickJack also makes it easy to tilt the car forward a bit to fully drain the oil pain when needed.

No crouching needed….. I roll around comfortably on one of my shop stools while seated perfectly upright…. And I’m slightly limited by ceiling height…. Could go up another few clicks from where it is in this pic if ceiling height wasn’t an issue.

Looks like an apples to oranges comparison to me. Big price difference, permanent floor space occupied, lots of other differences.
Paid $1600 for my Titan and picked up free of charge at Titan’s warehouse in Greenwood Indiana. Unloaded and set up myself completely solo. Admittedly this was a few years ago so I’m sure prices have gone up since that point…. However most vendors had it listed closer to your price point at the time… I’ll see if I can find my receipt and report back which vendor it was. Pricing was similar if not MORE for the QuickJacks at the time I bought my scissor lift and a quick google of quick Jacks 6000lb capacity lifts are very similar to that of 6,000 lb scissor lifts today as well. A little more “apples to apples” than you’re giving credit to.

There is no way I’d pay $1500 + to lift my cars the same height as a $50 set of Jack stands could.









As far as losing “permanent floor space” goes… the car sits there on top of it all the time anyways so kind of a moot point….. not such a bad view in my opinion…. Plus I don’t have to worry about taking up “wall space” by hanging Quick jacks or “floor space” storing them somewhere along the wall.
