I believe that’s what I was told, but I contacted them and no future plans to start making them again. So I received an email with this link included. Just p***ing the information along for an item you might be up to using and not spend full lift $$. Quality? No clue, need to look at things on a real screen. Www.quickjack.com I guess a play on words from the “Kwick” previously used.
Quite a few utubers use those quicklifts. I thought about buying a set seeing my regular big hoist always has something on it tore apart and i could just set it up fast outside if i had a quick project to do.
Heck, my pit is full time covered But as I’m getting older just the h***le to jack up and support something with stands is getting to be a chore, even for an oil change. I downloaded the PDF manual, will go through at work tonight.
I have a set. Have had them for a few years. Haven’t had any problems with them. They will lift a car up about 2 feet. The only big gripe is they are heavy. It seems heavier when you have to use them after working all day. I put the hydraulic unit and hoses on an old hand cart to move around.
From the pics on the website, looks like they lift the frame of a car? I didn’t notice them lifting via the tires.
Yep, they lift the frame or body if you're dealing with a late model. This may be the one I buy to make my pit more useful... 7000TLX Extended Portable Car Lift - QuickJack Store Better price by $250 on Amazon.
I have a set of the Quickjacks, they work fine but I only use them when I expect to have a vehicle on them for a good while.
Once in a while I see Kwicklifts on Facebook Market Place or Craigslist. They are nice, I had one a number of years ago but sold it because it was a chore to dismantle and re***emble. My garage is only 32 X 36. So in order to always have a free stall I was parking full time on the lift
Last questions, I think, do you feel your vehicle is stable on them? And do you have to place them under the vehicle or can you drive over them? Thanks.
I worked in a place that had something similar made by Rotary, called a parallelogram lift. The Quick Jack is similar in design. The old Rotary lifts, we mainly did brake work and tires on them. I never crawled under one to do anything. These were failly old by the time I worked with them, WAG, maybe from 1958 or so. Newer cars, they were low, so we anchored some 2" x 12" planks into the floor. https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/threads/older-rotary-parallelogram-lift.213376/
You have to place them under the car. You can not drive over them. I got some small furniture dollies from harbor freight to help move them in place, then pull the dollies out and get them in final position under the car. The vehicle is stable on them. I have used it on cars with frames and unibody cars with pinch welds. Both are very stable.
The Kwick Lift is very stable and you drive the car onto it. You then use a floor jack under the cross bar to raise the rear and drop the rear legs down
