Price kills this. $2000 US. This is approaching two post lift prices and is right there with hydraulic scissor jack pricing. This should be half that price at most. My search continues
I bought one and it works great. I don’t have a garage so I use it in my driveway. With the screw feature you don’t need any safety locks. It stays were ever you stop the lift. You push on the car after it’s up and it doesn’t move. I can put it in the back of car and take it to a friends house and use it there.
the only downside is that when you have a narrow 1 or 1,5 car garage you cant slide the lift under the car from the side it might be an idea to make ramps on the front and back so you can drive over the lift
2K? When I saw it I liked the idea. Use your own power to lift, nothing permanent, doesn't look expensive. I was thinking maybe 3 or 400 bucks. Price is just too unrealistic.
Ragin Reggin exactly. What's is the cost of the goods sold here? Doesnt look to be more than 100 dollars plus markups 500 to 700 tops. 2k is crazy high.
This was a very interesting video, THANK YOU so much for doing this. Exactly what I wanted to see, and no filler. This might be the lift I am looking for.
This is kinda cool, i hate jacks and stands on modern cars because there no space for both on a side, but $1700 after discount prices this thing way out of reach for 95% of people
For 95% of the people who own and work on their cars this is a huge bargain - that will quickly pay for it self by allowing all work to be done with ease. It's portable, compact and I won't have to have permanent pillers taking up space in the garage. It's low profile will arrow nice and flush against the wall.
I like it except for the cross bars. I would probably adapt removable locking pins to ease removal and installation of them. Seems like they are not needed only to raise and lower the car
i don't think you mentioned anything about locks that engage when the car is raised. should this thing fail, whats stopping the car from falling on the garage mechanic? i think this is cool as fuck however i do think there are some issues with it. i think it could go about another foot higher and some more safety features need to be added and i also feel there should be a quick connect fitting to attach an air hose to and make the lifting process that much easier. cool invention but use my ideas in your later models and i bet you will be much happier with it.
for around $2500 u can buy a 4 post lift that lets you work much higher. 1800 is a lot for something thats obviously meant for light home use, id say this is worth 800-1k. Wonder how long those threads on the raising mechanism will last before they fail.
If you still have to use a creeper, what's the point? For $2K you could get a hydraulic mid-rise scissor lift, or 2-post lift, which would actually raise the car to a comfortable height.

I don't own this so I wouldn't know exactly, but by design it should 'lock' if the bolt isn't turned. I'm assuming the bolt requires some torque and doesn't have a slip clutch when over torqued. I think this is meant more for cars and not heavy trucks or suvs, but I haven't looked at specs on weight limitations. If they list weight limitations, don't exceed them, and you should be fine.
hasbeengood i think it works like a worm and wheel gear set, the wheel can turn the worm, but the worm cant turn the wheel(or the other way around, ive probably got it backwards), and because of that its a self locking system. just my guess.
Worm turns the wheel, wheel can't turn the worm due to rotational force trying to act as a linear force as if it was rack and pinion. But worm setups are extremely slow. For the size of gears that can be used in this, it has has either a very very long array of gears to change the ratio dramatically for a worm, or it doesn't use a worm. If it was a worm with no complex gearing, something that size would easily take hours to lift. But I doubt it's a worm setup, no need for it. I't probably just a gear meshed with a gear on one, or the set, of the legs.
My car's jacking points are designed specifically for the OEM jack which uses a slot and it is on the body panel and if not set correctly will bend in. With this jack work with those types?
Ramps totally suck. This is way overpriced, but, as anyone who puts their car up and down knows.... it sucks, which is probably why most of us are here watching this - we have ramps, jacks, stands, etc, but they're no fun to work with, take time, and could feel safer. Lifts are awesome, and something like this with most of the benefits of a lift could be well worth investing in - just not this one, obviously.

I just bought this lift...its awesome...lifts my 4000 lb truck with no problem!

Not a bad idea. I like the product, but am concerned with safety. I would like to see a much better price, as it is out of my budget.
Where are the safety locks? 2000.00 dollars is crazy! Powered lifts, electric over hydraulic with safety locks cost less!

Thanks for taking the time to put this together. Nicely presented.

I agree with Cha Vang.... a bit cocky on the price! Should be ust a little over a grand.

How is the other side going up when you turn the screw with the electrical drill? I did not see any shaft or a connection to the other side?
at least you need double width of the car in your garage to insert it in.
The lift looks great and simple but for $1750?

2 questions.
#1 How much can it hold exactly?
#2 Do the crossbars interfere with transmission removal or anything of the nature?
Use wheels and/or jack stands as a backup.
2 grand, might as well get real car lift
I'm getting one. I also have a BendPack mr6
The website is not working. I wonder how much it costs for something like this?
aww yes this looks cool and safe but can you stack them
This pretty god but how is it on safety? Does it have any locks that prevent accidental lowering? Can it be locked at any given hight? Thanks.
I don't own this so I wouldn't know exactly, but by design it should 'lock' if the bolt isn't turned. I'm assuming the bolt requires some torque and doesn't have a slip clutch when over torqued.

Hey it was an idea. clearly not a very well thought out one, but it seemed to work in my head
You could use an impact and it would go allot faster
alright, thanks. I think i'll get one of that from ezcarlift website
i thank you can get a way with making ramps to drive on top of it
My car's jacking points are designed specifically for the OEM jack which uses a slot and it is on the body panel and if not set correctly will bend in. With this jack work with those types?
j/w is it safe? i don't want that thing to brake and fall on me when im under the car...
group buy website didn't work for me. is there a problem
What are the dimensions because I doubt the car lift will slide under my car.
man it doent look save, is it high pressure fluid.
Mechanic
just watching the video, I dont think a C7 corvette would have the ground clearance for the jack to fit under it.
will it hold a 1979 F250 super cab?
pretty cool!
Search: "Finished Garage with MaxJax 2 post Lift" to see my guided garage tour and mid rise lift
1800-2000 buks. To high.
Other System only 400-500buks. this is a real price and not 2k.
great and genus
where did u buy this at?
price?
Cool
I thought it was tomato sauce. hahah
One think I notice that nobody is talking about is there is no safety pin to pull or nothing I dont want my car falling on me.
@ 1:20 it appears they have holes to insert a pin of some sort. That's just a guess though since they didn't insert any, lol.
John D
I think you're right, looks nice! enough room to get a creeper with a recliner in there for head support.
Nice advertising, wanted one of these for my s2000 :P lol
Thanks but my $50 ramps do great job. Not a bad idea though.
Ramps totally suck.

Agreed, but for me ramps do just fine.
Kimchee squat...i like that ...hahahahah
I will make me one of these for sure. Will not pay two thousand dollar for sure.
some smart business people will bring this to market for much less hopefully...it been 8 damn years
I can afford it but not spending that much for that little.
Kimchee squat!!
you can damn near get that high with jack stands, waste of money
very expensive $1750 US year 2020
haha..nice one...china supplies are every where now a day...gezzess
poor lift.. ..you can buy hydraulic medium lift better
WHERE THE FUCK IS THE SAFETY????
2k, wut
