Quickjack wheel mod install

- No quickjacks were harmed in the making of this video.
This modification has got to be the best thing you can do to your Quickjack. It doesn't make sense to be dragging painted surfaces on cement, wheels were invented for uses such as this. I think the Quickjack was well designed but they just forgot to add wheels.
Thanks to Tony for showing me his quickjack mod, thanks to Frank for the prefab supplies.
With the prefabricated L-angles with casters, it took less than 10 minutes to upgrade my Quickjack with wheels. Makes moving and adjusting the Quickjack location a breeze.
Parts needed:
4 - threaded rods, 1/2" x 12"
8 - Nuts, 1/2" x 13 threads/inch
8 - 1/2" washers
8 - L-angles
8 - casters
I opted for all stainless steel hardware.
I'll be upgrading the nuts to stop nuts, I'll be using the ones below.
Stainless Steel Thin Jam Nylon Insert Lock Nuts 1/2-13 (pack of 10) Marine Bolt Supply

Like I said, trying to drill half inch holes through thick sheet metal without a drill press or step reamers won't be easy, you're better off just getting the prefab, the ones I got were well made with all the holes located at the correct locations, everything deburred, made out of .120 high grade stainless steel, it got rid of the planning and guess work.
His price is reasonable considering the higher quality materials used and the amount of time and effort it would take to make 8 of them.

I really like your idea. I thought I was the only person that had trouble moving these beasts around.
Hell of a nice setup, but at $360 with taxes that’s way too much for wheels, that’s kind of insane.
Agreed
Snia crazy smart and I cannot believe Quick Jack hasn’t thought of this
Wow good job..very precise..RUclips should hire this man... maybe even get him a lift
This is brilliant and Frank...I just sent you a mail to your gmail account to buy a set of these brackets and casters. The rest I have here in my shop. I'm an older guy now and the only problem that I had with these quickjacks was rolling them and lifting them around my shop. This is THE solution. Thanks again.
This is great! They are so heavy to slide on the ground and put away!
ok, that's clever. so well played.
Thank you for the video and ordered the kit from the provided link.
Great Idea Frank! Thank You! I just purchased the 7000's and they are really to heavy to slide around. I have plastic sliders (8 per frame) but this is a more permanent solution!
I have them available in my Etsy store.

Genius!!! What a great idea and thanks for sharing.
This a is a brilliant ieda I'm suprise quick jack hasn't made some something similar themselves.
I found another video last week and the wheels were like $2 each but this seems really stable but anything to help move these beasts is useful .
Just got my set today and yea these fuckers are heavy as shit. I’m def gonna order the wheel set.
Brilliant idea 👍👍
I need these. Yesterday I pulled my back out trying to move my QJ's from under a car. Maybe I can open a lawsuit against! QJ!😁
That a hell of a good idea
Genius.
That is smart
Thank you i just received mine wey too heavy 🙏
Amazing
This guys got a sexy voice
Am I the only one that dislikes the bracket setup on a single pivot point off-center? Very untechnical to fixate the bracket by pure force on the nut. Bends all brackets when you load the jacks by accident or otherwise.
Is there anything that keeps the wheel brackets in place if the nuts loosen up over time?
Only the torque of the nuts, which is why I opted for the elastic stop nuts or locknuts, you can also use loctite thread lock. I don't think it'll be a problem unless you'll be rolling it around all day using it professionally.
@@fdeguilla Got everything installed. Works great. One thing I learned is to keep the wheel shafts as vertical as possible. I see one customer had you ad a tab to the brackets to keep them from rotating. Good idea. Thanks Frank!
Ordered. May need a second set for my older 5000 rails. These will go on the 7000. And I found the one with the rods included after I placed the order 🤨
Do these come painted like the pics show?
You'll have to ask Frank about painted options
The ground clearance defined by the QuickJack alone is 3". What is the clearance increase when these casters are added? This is important for low cars.
I just measured it from the floor to the top of the quickjack, no rubber blocks, it's approximately 5".
@@fdeguilla That is way too much. I would accept an extra 0.5" but not a full 2" increase in height.
Forgot to mention that I have the “quickjack frame extension” on top of my quickjack, this adds to the height another 1 9/16”. I did measure it again using a 6” scale, the wheel mod currently installed on my quickjack is not the same as in the video (I have the the updated version of it, which has slightly bigger wheels and the anti-rotation tabs) the clearance that the wheel mod added was approximately 7/16”, plus or minus 1/32” (.4375) my total height without the frame extension came to approximately 3 1/4” (3.25”). I took the measurement at about the center point of my quickjack, the floor is fairly level, I have the Quickjack BL-5000SLX.
@@fdeguilla That looks more reasonable.
They will not work for lowered cars that the quickjack barely fit under neath
Hallo, can you measure dimensions of square rectangular shape of tubes used in Quickjacks? I am planing to do my self something similar.
what are the dimensions of the brackets and the offset dimensions of the wheel mounts? I have a drill press and just need to make the brackets
Is the thread bold the same for the 7000txl?
I'm not sure, I kinda remember seeing another video of someone installing one on the 7000 model
How are the rods 12? There to short!
I have the model 5000, 12" is the perfect length for it, not sure if it's good for the 7000 model.
What size casters are those? 1", 1.5" or 2" ?
1.5"
do the new version come with the tabs to prevent rotation??
That’s what I was told by the guy who makes it, but I haven’t had a chance to see it or try it yet.
Yes, the new version has the tabs included.
@@Pagweldfab not shown instock on etsy, sent a email asking how to purchase. thank you
did you receive my follow up email and question??
How much are they and do you ship to Canada?
I don’t make or sell it, but I have the guy’s information who sells it in the description below, I’m sure he does international shipping.
I ship international.
@@Pagweldfab can you please let me know how much they’re are

@@Pagweldfab You should add the axles to the kit so people don't have to go out and search for the proper ones. You can probably charge about $300 for the entire kit. I will definitely be buying a kit from you when i get my quickjack. I'd pay extra just for the convenience of not having to search for the rest of the parts.
@@christschool I offer a full kit as well that includes axles and hardware.
