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? |

All of the armchair engineering argument aside, I haven't seen anyone post EXPERIENCE with this product pro or con?
If it is rated for 6K LBS and even if over rated I expect would be fine lifting our 2K lbs teeners. As to portability I wonder how often any one would be bolting/unbolting their posts from the floor once installed. To me at approx. $2K it seems to be a pretty good option for the hobbyist garage. |
