Since I am not partner in teh shop anymore (long story) I'm back to working out of my garage at home. The only thing I miss about the old shop is teh 2 post lift we have there..
So I have been looking around at different lifts for home. My biggest isssue is I have 10ft ceiling in there so a standard two post lift won't work. I was thinking about a mid rise lift like I know some here have when I came across the MaxJax portable two post system. I like what I see. It will work in my garage, portable, and easy to use. I like the fact that when not in use it can be removed and stored against the wall. Here is the link to their website MaxJax The more I look at it the more I like it over a midrise lift. Your thoughts? |

I am a old school kind of guy and because of that I am leery of many of these " new " lifts. Seems like many manufacturers/vendors are just being driven by cost/price. Remember guys you are going to be working under these things. My point is do your homework and get the best QUALITY you can afford. Don't rule out buying older used American made products. Craigslist, Ebay ect. have quite a few lifts listed for sale. I bought my Ammco scissor lift about two years ago and love it. All American made and it is a heavy duty commercial lift. She weighs 1000 lbs. they didn't skimp on the metal (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) . It lifts 48 inches and I payed $800.00 for it. Good luck with whatever you end up with and be safe !
