consider this alternative - MaxJax - a lot less install work and lifts 48" - easy R&R 914 engine-trans - mine was $1900 delivered

- and - it unbolts & gets out the the way when you want the space for other things - no forklifts required

you can come look at mine & try it at zip 95635 (40 miles away from Justin)





I really like this one. I wish I had seen it before I got the scissor lift. Very nice.

How trusty are you of the Max Jack's floor bolts? Are they held down with compression style floor studs? How many are there for each side? the two post lifts always give me bad feelings thinking that the posts would cave in toward each other. Unfounded?

held down with 5 bolts, I cut out two 4'x4' slabs and poured a thicker slab of high psi concrete. The bolts are the epoxy type. No worries when they are installed properly.

There is another alternative to the scissor and two-post lifts - they're both limited to about 48-50" lift height. For a little more you can go with a single-post lift. It's portable and can be moved around the garage with built-in dolly. I haven't tried the 914 yet, but I suspect I'll need some 2x ramps to drive it up onto to clear the 4.5" base.

Does the Maxjax lift the car high enough to park another 914 underneath? I'm sure the car on top would need the wheels removed for more clearance.

No


Guess again...
Just finished my Maxjax install and now have two stacked in the garage. I added the 3" Risers for more clearance. Can't be happier not having to use jack stands. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)

I just had my BendPak mid-rise, flush-mount scissor lift delivered. I expect that within the next two weeks we will be cutting the concrete slab to excavate, form, rebar and pin our new concrete so we have the pit to install the lift into. The floor will be porcelain tiled to complete the job.

This is tied to a full garage remodel with new cabinets. The cabinets will include one section for just the lift hydraulics and motor. All lines will run through a PVC chase in the floor, wall or cabinet. Should result in a clean garage and still allow for service, removal or replacement of the lines if there is ever a problem.

Once we start laying this out and cutting concrete, I will be taking photos and posting them. I am so happy to be able to do this. I am tired of kneeling or sitting on the floor to play with my cars. Hard on the old body.

It seems that the pit would be a constant " lookout " when moving around on a castered stool....

When down, the lift will have about a 3/8" reveal around it and the lifting "pads" will be absolutely flush with the floor. I do not think we will have any pit-hazard issues. But, I am old so you never know....

New garage will need a lift of some sort.

This is similar to the Ranger Quickjack, but can lift higher for a little more money.

By using the rubber pads and shorter cross members I was able to support the pan with great access to make repairs.

Light weight and flexible configurations.

Have been using one for 5 years now, wish he made a bigger one so it could lift my ML320 but it exceeded the weight limit by a nice margin.

when stacking cars, always remember that 914's sometimes leak oil.
