Default Quick Jack power supply recommendation needed...

I am looking to purchase the quick jack 5000slx power jack and it comes with 4 different configurations as far as power supply goes. I don't know which one to choose or why lol... My intent is to use the unit in my garage mostly, but I do track the car and wonder what the pros/cons to the different power supplies are...

Any recommendations are appreciated, don't want to get it and regret not getting the correct type

THANKS

Most would go with the 110 or 240. If you just want to plug it in to a regular outlet in the garage, go 110. If you don't have a 240 line in the garage, you could get one installed. I run a bendpak on a 110 circuit and it works fine.

You might want the 12v unit if you plan to take it to the track.

I'm just gonna get the 110v so I don't have to wire 220v into my garage. Do you really think you'll bring it to the track?

Do you have a trailer? If not, how do you plan to get it to the track? Doubt it will fit in the hatch. I'd go with the 110 if it were me.

I am going with a 110v unit myself. But another difference is the 12v DC is twice as fast as the 110v AC unit, like 15 sec vs 30 sec to raise, if that matters to anyone. I am not sure how the 240v compares.
