Default Anyone near Palo Alto have a QuickJack 3500 garage lift?

I’m thinking of buying one and wonder how easy (or not) it is to move/slide around on an unpainted cement garage floor.

I have the 5000 and a coated floor. I used UHMW plastic strips from McMaster Carr on the bottom to make it slide easier. It should work on bare concrete also. You might need to replace it periodically if the concrete wears it down.

That's clever. How do you attach the UHMW strips to the Quickjack?

I see these at the Track fairly often. They are usually on asphalt. Sliding around on a concrete floor should not be a problem. Lou give me a call.....
