[TR] Quick Jacks

[dave]

+1 on the EZ Car Lift.  I do not have unlimited garage space or height.  It works great for me.  and as I have worked under a regular lift, and being 66, I find it easier to slide around on a creeper where I can rest my head on the creeper as opposed to standing, craning my neck, and working above me.   they have sales every couple of months so if you are patient you can save some $$

 

Plus you can get different pieces for the car lift.  I have pieces for my 350Z and for my Triumphs.  Not hard to swap it, or store it.  made working on the Z real easy (in addition to the LBCs)

 

You can also get adapters for a Honda Accord (the “ramps” aren’t quite long enough).  I thought about it but it’s a Honda.  I never have to work on that car!

Steve is correct.  The EZ Car Lift capacity is 2 tons, not 2000 lbs. as I had posted. 

               Best,

Hi Jerry,

               I have an EZ Car Lift.  It is very compact and takes up virtually no garage space when stored on it's side. It takes less that 10 minutes form storage to having the car up in the air.  It li its the car 26”.  A decent working hight for a low garage ceiling garage. The unit use a 1/2 inch drill to rise and lower my car  It works well for my occasional use. I do believe that it’s max lifting weight is 2500 pounds.  Within the weight range of most LBCs. I believe the Quick Jack raise faster but, but doesn’t lift as high. Many for the other low lift hydraulic lifts take up a lot of storage space and must be bolted into place.  Not an issue if you want to permanently mount it, but a pain if you want to only use it occasionally

               Hope this helps.

               Bob

I don’t have enough space to install a conventional lift in my garage so instead I’m considering buying a Quick Jack lift either in 3500 or 5000 pound capacity. I have an IRS TR4A. 

 

Questions:

If you have a QJ what lifting capacity do you have? 

If 5000# does it fit easily under the car (tell me what Triumph you have)?

Pros and cons realizing that a 4 post or 2 post is not feasible for me.

Any best deals that you’ve found? Currently Costco seems to have a good price on the 5000# unit.

 

Thanks. looking for feedback.
