This looks like just what I need but I never saw it before Costco offered it. I really like the idea of leaving one post anchored and the other one detached when not in use.

I have a buddy who got one (Costco) so I've seen it first hand.
The big pro is it's a real lift if you only have 8' ceilings and it's more than enough to work on a 914. Hell of a lot better than jackstands. Cons, some of the parts like the hoses are cheap, welds are a bit rough and the anchors are not the best so they will try to sell you $200 epoxy anchors. It doesn't lift that high and you can't park a 2nd car under it. The arms are a bit on the short side, 6000lbs so it won't lift bigger than a stock P/U. It's a bit slow and it doesn't lift quite evenly, IIRC a couple inches out is within their spec. Compared to my lift the steel arms (everything) are made with much lighter steel thickness. It sets up easy enough, but I would think most would only do this if they had to. Note Anchor part I did pull off of on-line reviews, buddy had no issue as the garage is a new build last year and he planned (floor thickness) for this lift. Rest was easy to compare to my lift. Does it compare to my AAMCO 7K, 2-post, full height, made in USA, certified lift? Hell no! Not even close. Is it better than jackstands? Fuching right it is. I'd also say it's a step up on the scissor lift. PS The maxjax weigh 880 lbs as per their site. My commercial AMMCO lift I'm not sure, but I had it on my 12' small car float (3500 lbs rated single axle) and it weighs way more than a 914, I'm guessing 3000 lbs. |
