Default QuickJack component cart

While my Quick jack is pretty useful I quickly got tired of dragging the hydraulic control unit and related hoses across the floor during setup. Got this cart from Summit for just over $100 and now I'm not tripping over the needed pieces. Great for stowage too.

Nice. I have the same QJ. Are you able to get the quick jack under the C5 without slightly lifting up the car?

I have to drive up on two 3 inch ramps to get my quickjack under the car…

Yeah, I use a few 2 X 10s to give me a bit of extra clearance especially if I'm gonna use the 3" blocks.

I have been using a similar Harbor Freight steel cart with my QuickJack. Yes its very handy for moving around the power unit as well as all the jacking blocks, the truck adapters and wheel chokes too. I hang the coiled up hoses on the wall next to the frames.

Other than the easy of lifting the car up safely, one of the best benefits of having the QJ is being able to lower and heighten at any given moment with ease. I’ve had my C5 on the QJs for over 1 year for my build. I was able to drop the car to a lower level when I was dropping in the new short block and lift it back up for working on headers, etc.

Best tool. Worth the month spent… nice tip for the cart
