Default MaxJax install finally completed!

After 3 long months my MaxJax is finally installed and ready to use. Ordered November 1st. Arrived later than usual on November 30th due to Thanksgiving holiday. Early December I was drilling anchor holes for the post in middle of garage and only 2 anchors bit out of 5. (yes I did drill test holes earlier) Dwelled on saw cutting concrete for a few weeks vs epoxy. Glad I ending up saw cutting being the 3 holes were only 3 1/4” deep. Concrete had such inconsistency. Cut a 30x30x8” deep section with rebar reinforcement and poured on January 2nd. Spent the last few weeks customizing hydraulic line runs, mounting controls on wall and making final connections since I’m leaving it permanently mounted.
Overall happy with the build quality. Definitely worth the purchase.


First lift at 24”

Posts are at 135” wide for Corvette

Used PVC 1 1/2” as a conduit across ceiling for hydraulic hose.

Pump mounted on wall

Thanks!
I almost bought the quickjack but was looking for something more permanent that would have floor clearance unlike standard 2 post lifts with the floor track and fitment for my 10’ ceilings.

Thanks!
I feel your concerns. My post next to the wall was over 4” deep concrete. Hopefully your install goes smooth.
GL!

Is that 135" width outside to outside or inside to inside?

I notice that you have unequal length hoses. Did you have to do any special balancing of the fluid between the shorter hose and the longer hose or did the fluid flow divider do that automatically?
