If you recently bought or own a QuickJack portable car lift, you signed up for years of fantastic service on your vehicle(s). This you know. Unwittingly, you also signed up for a lot of public attention. We would be remiss in sending you out in the world with a brand new car lift if we didn’t take the time to go over the trials and tribulations you will face alone in the wake of your purchase.
“Trials and tribulations? Isn’t that a bit harsh?”
If only… if only. Be advised that not everyone out there is ready for QuickJack, but we can make sure you’re ready for everyone’s questions. If you’re a QuickJack owner, read this article and take heart! You’ll finally get a full night’s sleep, knowing you’ll never again be at a loss for words when someone asks you number 5 on this list. (The nerve!) You’ll never find yourself standing alone in the grocery aisle, holding a carton of eggs you don’t even remember picking out, just because someone had the audacity to spit number 3 right in your face. (The horror!) We at QuickJack regret to say that the burden of answering these questions falls on you. If you ask not what your vehicle lift community can do for you, but what you can do to get people to stop staring, then we have all the help you’ll need to reclaim that chunk of your sanity.
1. If that’s a portable car lift, where’s the supporting crossbeam?
This is actually a great question that we at QuickJack get every day, but we understand how you, the private citizen, would get tired of hearing it. Here’s our official 5-second elevator speech on stability:
The electric-hydraulic motor works like any hydraulic two-post or four-post lift, equally pressurizing the frames with a steady stream of fluid so both frames rise evenly and at the same time. The lock bar on the side of each frame automatically locks the frame in place.
You can also make a $50.00 bet to random strangers passing on the street that they can’t push your car over once it’s lifted. That’s a free dinner and a movie for two. Just saying.
2. Aren’t you scared it’s going to fall over?
Kind of like #1, but this time putting your dignity at stake. Scared? SCARED? Tell them this:
QuickJack has the highest safety rating in its class. The CE certification mark is only given to car lifts that pass incredibly strict safety guidelines. There’s no record of a properly operated QuickJack failing, so unless I use it on a slope or brittle, unstable flooring, the car is locked up there until I release it. Now leave me, peasant: I grow bored with you.
For the full effect, make sure you really stick that ending.
3. Haven’t you ever heard of car jacks and jack stands?
This is kind of a ridiculous question to ask someone who is busy wrenching under a car, but some in the QuickJack community seem to hear it anyway. If you own a portable car lift, we have to believe you’re already familiar with car jacks, stands, lift points, lift capacities and probably most undercarriage and maintenance-related tasks under the sun. The best way to answer this question (without being sarcastic, which is frankly still on the table) is to ask yourself, “What made me abandon car jacks and stands for QuickJack?” You can take it from there.
4. Do you mind if I borrow it for the weekend? Come on. I’m good for it!
Honestly, you’re on your own here. Is this an equal trade partnership? Do they have something they can offer you in return, now or in the foreseeable future? Or are we talking about “that guy” who you should never, ever listen to no matter what he says. Everyone knows that guy. We tend to have mixed feelings about that guy. Would you trust that guy with a portable car lift? You’ll know best, so best of luck making the right decision. We wouldn’t want to be you.
5. How do you know that it’s high quality?
If they’ve never heard of Ranger Products and don’t know that we’re a division of BendPak, we understand the confusion. We’re not here to name names or point fingers, but there are a lot of lift manufacturers that make BIG claims about the quality of their product without offering proof. The CE mark is essential to proving the superior quality of our portable lift design, especially with regards to standard EN-1493. We don’t say this because we have it—we have it because it’s the standard that matters.
We could also point out our rugged 14-gauge stainless steel welded frames are heavier-duty than just about every portable car lift we’ve come across. Simply invite your questioner to touch the frames and gently toe-tap them. May even give ‘em a little kick. You can even invite them to lift and roll a collapsed frame by the end handle. Seeing QuickJack on TV or the Internet is one thing—actually getting your hands on ours is another story.
6. How can a remote control lift a car?
The person asking this question is ready to give in and admit the cold, hard truth: QuickJack is awesome. Sometimes people get stubborn and keep on objecting, even though they’ve made up their minds. An old sales saying goes, “An objection is an unanswered question in the mind of the buyer.” Your questioner is looking for you to sell them on QuickJack because they want to buy one! So do us a favor, will you? If you’re happy with your QuickJack you bought from us and the level of customer service we offer, put in the good word and tell them to reach out to us for more info.
You could also give them a brief lesson on the power of hydraulics and how they apply to car lifts, if you want. And if you’re a really generous soul, you’ll even let them press the Up button, and you’ll see if they aren’t impressed. We’re just not that generous with our button. No one touches our button.
7. Why didn’t you get a full-sized lift?
Car lifts are great investments, and we’re affiliated with the best car lifts in the business for anyone interested in going that route. The truth is that more people are working with car jacks and stands than car lifts for two reasons:
1) Two-post and four-post car lifts costs more than portable car lifts.
2) Full-sized lifts take up more space and are bulky and permanent.
Just one of those two reasons is enough to look for alternative options. Full-sized lifts cost at least several hundred dollars more than QuickJack (they are often twice as expensive or more), and that doesn’t include installation and delivery freight/unloading fees that many customers have to pay when having a full-sized lift delivered.
The fact is, most DIY hobbyists and shop owners have cars, light trucks and/or SUVs that weigh less than 7,000 lbs. QuickJack is sold in 3,500 / 5,000 / 7,000-lb. capacities, which makes it a perfectly serviceable lift for almost every car owner or body shop that’s out there. Just a reminder: never use any car lift to lift a vehicle that is too heavy for the unit. Know your limits!
Now that you know how to handle the 7 most dead-serious-important questions QuickJack owners are likely to receive, we want to hear your thoughts. How do you deal with nosy neighbors and curious passers-by? If you have a story, funny thing that happened to you or you’re just bored sometimes and feel like talking about cars, head over to our Facebook page and let’s talk shop: QuickJack on Facebook.
TL;DR: People who have never seen QuickJack but work on cars from home are often confused by our product. This portable car lift is so different than anything they’ve seen before, they don’t know what to make of it. Naturally, they ask a lot of questions. We put together a list of commonly asked questions all QuickJack owners will face at some point or another.
QuickJack is turning a lot of heads with its forward-thinking design. A reaction we get sometimes that makes us chuckle: “This car lift has no crossbeams? Get out!”
There’s a reason, however, that QuickJack has the best safety rating in its class (something we refer to often, because it matters), and it’s not just the high-grade 14-gauge steel frames or two-stage auto-engaging safety locks. Those are crucial aspects of the QuickJack, but something that doesn’t get talked about as much is QuickJack’s patented hydraulic design. So why did we design QuickJack this way?
A Hydraulic lift is much, much easier to use
It’s so easy to raise a vehicle on QuickJack that our competitors are simply left with one option: to try to convince you that our design is “flimsy.” We’ll call that “you can’t have your cake and eat it, too” marketing, and it’s a fear mongering tactic. In other words, they want you to think that if our lift is so easy, so simple and so convenient, we must have sacrificed quality and safety.
Dwight Schrute says false!
Very false! Hydraulic fluid works by exerting pressure in one direction when force is applied to the fluid. QuickJack uses common hydraulic fluid that is non-compressible, non-toxic and long-lasting. It’s also more reliable than mechanical structuring because it eliminates serviceable cables, chains, gears, etc. We also ship every QuickJack unit with zero-leak flush face hose fittings to ensure no fluids spill out. The quick-connect hoses and portable power unit are very simple to manage. It’s so much easier to raise a car lift when the electric/hydraulic motor does all the work for you. Some of our competitors require the use of a large hydraulic jack or power drill. We simply ask you to press the “Up” or “Down” button. Our safety locks automatically engage, so there are no extra steps necessary to keep your nose clean under there. How easy is QuickJack to operate? Check out this home video submitted by a satisfied customer:
One of the reasons people switch to our car lift over traditional car jacks and jack stands is the technological convenience we offer, which is unrivaled by virtually every other company in the car lift industry. It’s no surprise that the hydraulic lift design, which is already commonplace in less portable car lifts (two-post, four-post, scissor and parking lifts, to name a few), is changing the way people see DIY and professional auto service. This is something we’re very excited about. And it brings us to one of QuickJack’s signature features: the absent crossbeam.
Hydraulic fluid ensures an even lift every time
Every portable hydraulic power unit—you choose AC or DC—contains a built-in hydraulic flow divider for precise equalized lifting. The flow divider is arguably QuickJack’s unsung hero, because without that technology, we couldn’t provide a truly open-center design with no crossbeams whatsoever—one of QuickJack’s most important, unique and convenient features. The hydraulic power unit isn’t just a nifty device to make us look cool; it also contributes to a safer, more sophisticated and more elegant car lift design. You don’t need bulky steel frames to be safe with your car lift.

TL;DR: Hydraulic lifts offer many advantages over mechanical lifts. They’re simpler, less prone to breaking and extremely resistant to sudden, catastrophic collapse. They also lift with the touch of a button.
Thanks for making it to our site! First off, let us say one thing: if you browse the Why QuickJack page on our website, you’ll find a whole bunch of reasons we think QuickJack is a revolutionary car jack. We’re not shy about facing up to our competitors, either, so don’t be surprised when you see some brutally honest, stats-driven comparisons to EZcarlift™ (a main portable car jack competitor trying to get your attention, as well as other car jack options.)
The seven-second video below shows someone trying to push a car off our car jack. We encourage you to watch it to get a sense of how safe you’ll be during maintenance with QuickJack.
QuickJack Stability Video
In the video, the car you see is not raised to QuickJack’s max extension—we’re working on getting you a video that shows a vehicle being shoved atop a fully-risen QuickJack. (It won’t fall—promise.) In fact, our engineers even tell us that physics works in favor of QuickJack’s safety at the full rise position. Ladies and gentlemen, safety is not an issue with our portable car jack, and no jack stand is necessary when you use it. QuickJack’s automatic safety locks fall neatly into place at the mid and max extension points, providing an additional level of safety assurance.
Want more proof that Quick Jack is the safest portable car jack on the market?
We’re not making empty “sales talk” at you guys. QuickJack is safer than something like EZcarlift or the many other car jack options out there because we have the only independently-awarded safety certification that matters for any advanced car jack: the rigorous 98/37/EC Machinery Directive and the Harmonized Standard for vehicle lifts, EN-1493. You can read more about our QuickJack safety certification. There’s no other portable car jack that can brag about that.
So yes, QuickJack is safer, less expensive and more portable than the competition. QuickJack also promises the following: it has no crossbeams whatsoever; features weight capacity options of 3,500 lbs. / 5,000 lbs. / 7,000 lbs.; rises to its full height 20″ in 30 seconds with the touch of a button; engages automatic safety locks at the mid and max levels; shows a low 3″ profile when collapsed; constructed from high-grade, 14-gauge cold-formed steel; makes your life as a DIY’er easier and more enjoyable.
At QuickJack, we believe in the product we’re promoting. We believe it is the safest, most convenient and easiest-to-use portable car lift on the market. We also know our customers make an investment when they choose to spend their hard-earned money on a lift. That’s why we made QuickJack affordable without sacrificing quality.
One of our competitors, EZcarlift, makes a similar product and touts a few of the same claims about their portable car lift that we make about ours. According to their website, “The EZcarlift is the new standard of what a home garage car lift is all about. It’s safe, easy to use, compact, convenient, portable, versatile, and affordable.”
When we saw this on EZcarlift’s website, we wanted to ask them, “You’re safe, easy, compact and affordable compared to what?” Since we’re analytical at QuickJack, we decided to take look at each claim by EZcarlift and compare their features to QuickJack. We’re confident that our fact-driven comparison will convince you QuickJack is the best garage lift on the market today.
Their CLAIM #1 – “Safe”
It appears that people do use the EZcarlift safely, so we’re not out to say anything extreme against their portable car lift or claim their product doesn’t work at all, but we will examine the facts. EZcarlift uses a mechanical screw-drive system to achieve its lift. You might think these drive systems are continually locked and therefore safe, but screw drives don’t feature a fail-safe and are prone to failure, and that’s where we differ. QuickJack uses a hydraulic lift system with a built-in flow divider to ensure an even lift. While it’s highly unlikely that any of the hydraulic support mechanisms on the QuickJack will ever fail, we have systematic fail-safe locking bars that engage automatically as the lift rises. Our tandem rugged steel safety lock holds your vehicle securely at both the mid and max rise levels. For a great video of our patented automatically safety locks in action, check out the posted video. While EZcarlift claims design safety, QuickJack goes the extra mile to win your trust.
Most importantly, QuickJack has received EC Certification, an extremely rigorous safety certification, and EZcarlift does not meet the safety requirements to achieve this level of certification. QuickJack can accurately say we’re the safest garage lift option because we have legitimate, third-party endorsed credentials to prove what EZcarlift can only “claim.”
So, what is EC Certification and why does it matter for consumers? The QuickJack is a unique low-rise portable vehicle jack, falling outside the realm of the North American Automotive Lift Institute standard ALCTV:2011. Europe’s car lift standard BS EN 1493:2010, however, has provisions for “short stroke lifts,” so we elected to explore this globally recognized standard as our badge of quality.We selected the services of CCQS, a London-based testing laboratory that specializes in testing, inspection and support for CE marking and safety of machinery and consumer products. All QuickJack models have been awarded EC Certification that meets the EN-1493 safety standard, as well as Europe’s Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC. This is really an impressive feat that was not easy for us to achieve. It’s a safety rating given only to the best of the best. QuickJack has it. EZcarlift does not. The object of this European Standard is to define rules for safeguarding persons against the risk of accidents associated with the operation of vehicle lifts, including portable car lifts. QuickJack requested testing for this certification because we have total confidence in the quality of our engineering standards. We passed extremely tedious testing on virtually every single component of our lift, including:
– List of hazards
– Safety requirements and/or measures
– Preventing unauthorized operation
– Control devices
– Control positions
– Structural design of the supporting structure
– Load carrying devices
– Limiting the travel of the load carrying device
– Unintended blocking of the load carrying device
– Safety against rupture of mechanical bearing devices
– Safety against leakage
– Proof loading
– Additional requirements for movable and mobile lifts
– Protection against pinching and shearing
– Safety devices
– Protection against damage
– Verification of the safety requirements and/or measures
– Information for use
– Operation instructions
– Name plate
– Annex A Structural calculations
– Annex A Permissible stresses
Should you risk the safety of yourself and your car with EZcarlift?
Their CLAIM #2 – “Easy to use”
This one is a no-brainer, really. QuickJack is hands-down the easiest-to-operate portable car lift available today. While EZcarlift requires the use of an electric hand drill to raise and lower the platform, QuickJack requires only the convenient touch of a button. You can use the remote anywhere within range of the 13-foot cords. Other than the initial rubber block placement, QuickJack requires no crouching, bending, stooping or squatting to raise and lower your vehicle. The mechanical lift function on EZcarlfit is wobbly, time-consuming and non-ergonomic for virtually everyone.
Their CLAIM #3 – “Compact, portable”
When it comes to the “portability” aspect of being a portable car lift, QuickJack stows at a low-profile 3″ collapsed height. Compare this to EZcarlift’s 4″ profile and QuickJack retains its slight edge. QuickJack’s frames also feature built-in wheels to make them easy to maneuver around your garage.
Take a look at the chart below to see the individual frame and power unit weights per QuickJack model. EZcarlift weighs in at 142 lbs., making it a little bit lighter than QuickJack’s models. That’s certainly a nice feature, but we don’t believe this makes it a safer garage lift, and it certainly doesn’t rate higher than QuickJack in terms of overall quality and safety assurance.
QuickJack Individual Component Weights
60 lb. / 27 kg
76 lb. / 34 kg
91 lb. / 41 kg
35 lb. / 16 kg
Not only is QuickJack portable, it’s easy to set up. After a one-time installation, QuickJack can be removed from storage and set up under your car in just one minute. If our portable car lift is resting against the wall of your garage, simply roll it out, place it under your car, hook up the power unit and press the button to lift your car! This can all be done in about 60 seconds. Once you know exactly where the lifting points are on your car, you can do this in your sleep. (Warning: do not attempt to operate the QuickJack portable car lift in your sleep.)
Their CLAIM #4 – “Versatile”
EZcarlift brags that it can be used as more than just a car lift—they even say it doubles as a picnic table bench. Which is fine…
QuickJack offers three models: the BL-3500SLX rated for 3,500 lbs., the BL-5000SLX rated for 5,000 lbs. and the BL-7,000SLX rated for 7,000 lbs. EZcarlift offers a single model rated at 4,400 lbs. We still don’t know how they tested their frames to come up with that number, and unfortunately, they’re not telling!
With the exception of our BL-7000SLX, whose collapsed frame height measures 3.5″, all our models collapse to a low-profile 3″. This design renders QuickJack serviceable to low-framed, high-performance vehicles, as well as virtually any vehicle that doesn’t exceed the list weight capacity. That one-inch difference from EZcarlift’s 4″ collapsed rise may sound small, but it makes a world of difference if your car’s ground effects or suspension are low to the ground. This is perfect for race cars that need fast, reliable servicing, as well as cars with custom modifications around the bottom of their frames. Plus, a lower profile means QuickJack is that much easier to stow away. It tucks nicely behind garage storage units, or it can be left on the floor of your garage, practically invisible when not in use.
Car, light trucks and SUVs
QuickJack has light trucks and SUVs covered as well as low-bodied cars. The 12-piece SUV and light truck adapter set providers stackable adapters for you to mount inside the lifting block trays, which is an option EZcarlift does not offer. In other words, QuickJack offers you more versatility for your buck.
Unibody-frame pickup points
One of the dynamic aspects of QuickJack’s design is its complete lack of any crossbeams. Not only does this afford total undercarriage access to your vehicle, but there’s no need to adjust its width and get the adjustments “just right” when working on unique frames. You’ll be especially grateful for this if you work on multiple cars, as it’s much easily to slide a frame than to completely alter crossbeams on a fixed frame. EZcarlift is made to “set” in a certain position, which means you have to slide the cross braces to fit just perfectly, which can annoying and time-consuming. QuickJack allows you to roll and place the frames quickly. QuickJack doesn’t need to be folded up when you’re done, nor does it need to be reassembled back to that perfect setting when you take it out again. This is why QuickJack can be stowed away in 60 seconds after use.
Their CLAIM #5 – “Affordable”
We shouldn’t have to sell you on price, because the numbers speak for themselves. For a full comparison chart of all QuickJack models, click here. The least expensive QuickJack model is $1,125, while the EZcarlift costs $1,845 and is made to lift 4,400 lbs. Compare that to the most expensive QuickJack model, which costs $1,490 and is certified to lift 7,000 lbs., and it’s easy to see that a higher price does not always mean a safer, higher-quality and easier-to-use portable car jack.

More claims by EZcarlift (and our responses)
From the website:
Using the basic operation of the common floor jack as a model, the high-quality, low-profile EZcarlift raises your 4,400 lb. vehicle up to 26 inches off the ground in less than 90 seconds using a simple electric hand drill. Its free standing open design is giving you total access to the underside of your vehicle.
In this regard, QuickJack and EZcarlift are similar. QuickJack rises to a max extension of 20″, while EZcarlift goes six inches higher for a total of 26″. If all other things were equal, this would be a nice selling point for them, so let’s keep digging. EZcarlift has a collapsed frame height that is 1-1/2” higher than QuickJack’s—they have a height advantage before we even start lifting! If you really want a little more “lift” with QuickJack, throw some 1-1/2” plywood under the frames and the difference is now cut down to 4-1/2”.
What’s more, QuickJack reaches its max extension in 30 seconds, which is three times faster than EZcarlift; of course, that’s assuming your drill doesn’t burn up or your drill battery doesn’t drain. Why burden yourself with an extra hazard when QuickJack gets you under your car in less time and virtually no hassle?
And let’s face it, standing there holding our cool pendant control with push buttons will impress your neighbors and car buddies. You crouching on the floor with a hand drill in your hand attempting to raise your car very, very slowly, will not.
Caution: friends, family and neighbors will want to borrow your QuickJack. Always use discretion, background checks, personal references, etc. when lending QuickJack to a friend.
While both car lift designs allow access to the undercarriage, only QuickJack offers total access with no crossbeams. EZcarlift features two connecting crossbeams, one in the front and one in the back. At the end of the day, you’re paying more for a less safe lift design that allows you to do less.
Given this look at the two lifts, it’s our conclusive opinion that EZcarlift’s extra 6″ of head clearance comes with a hefty price tag. QuickJack’s safety certification makes it a much safer portable car lift. EZcarlift will surely try to lure you in with its 26” of head clearance, but this is really the only factor we have found that objectively outranks QuickJack.
Interestingly enough, we did some research and found through user photos online that EZcarlift rarely appears to be elevated to its full height. We can only guess this is because the full height isn’t usually needed, or maybe users just get tired of all the annoying drilling it takes to raise their cars.
EZcarlift would probably argue that their lighter construction and smaller frames are positive design factors over QuickJack, but we believe our design is proven safer (and more powerful), and we would never sacrifice safety for a slightly smaller car lift.
EZcarlift is the only known lift of its kind designed to be brought TO the vehicle vs the other way around.
This is simply false propaganda. QuickJack is designed to slide under your car such that the lifting pads face your vehicle frame’s designated lifting points.
The simple, durable and well-proven principle of the mechanical scissor jack was selected as the lifting mechanism removing the need for external pumps and associated hardware, leaky lines and hoses, specialty power requirements, etc. EZcarlift requires a hand drill to be raised and lowered. We think that counts as a “specialty power requirement.” QuickJack’s lifting mechanism is a revolutionary design. No other portable car lift is lifted and lowered with the touch of a remote button. Our quick-connect zero-leak fittings are quick and easy to use. They feature a sliding sleeve quick-disconnect with features that include an ability to connect with virtually no air inclusion and disconnect with little or no spillage.
The floor jack like operation (roll under the vehicle) mandated a free standing style eliminated the need of anchoring, expensive concrete drilling or specialty anchoring services.
QuickJack requires no anchoring or drilling to assemble and use. In fact, after the initial assembly is completed, you need ZERO tools for setup and teardown.
To reduce weight a combination of an aluminum and steel tubular construction was selected for the lift’s rigid frame-like arrangement. All aluminum is brushed and the steel has durable powder coated finish. The rugged construction provides not only lightweight but also a superb stability and safety at all heights.
In selecting the best steel gauge for our garage lift, QuickJack took into consideration the two main factors that change as steel gauges increase and decrease: weight and strength. Finding the perfect gauge meant finding the “sweet spot” that allows our frames to lift your vehicle without being too heavy to easily transport. We chose 14-gauge steel because it meets our requirements for both strength and weight—the aforementioned “sweet spot.”
In case you were curious, 14-gauge steel is popular in many commercial enterprises. It’s used as the base for many professional work tables (butchers, restaurants, etc.) because it can withstand pounding, slamming, hammering and even heavy weights being thrown at it. Hefty, high-grade office desks are often made with 14-gauge steel because they won’t be easily pushed around or give way over time to pressure and abuse. Many other racks and frames, such as those you see in body shops that easily handle dozens of stacked tires, are constructed from 14-gauge steel.
Unlike other low-rise lifts, EZcarlift is designed to raise vertically rather than in an arc motion so it can be operated safely even in smallest work spaces.
The EZcarlift is referred to as a pantograph-style scissors lift, in which the lifting frames simulate “K” members. The EZcarlift travels in a true vertical direction, whereas the QuickJack’s parallelogram design travels horizontally about 8″-12″ as the lift ascends.
Furthermore, EZcarlift’s pantograph design may feature true vertical travel, but their small feet on the bottom of their lifting legs travel slightly across the floor and have a small contact patch. This can damage epoxy floor surfaces and plastic floor tiles.
To operate EZcarlift simply roll it under the vehicle, then set the lift’s pads under the lifting points of your car, insert the electric corded drill into the lift’s drive and watch as all four wheels clear the floor in less than a minute – no heavy or multiple lifting required!
Rather than a hand drill, QuickJack features one-touch raising and lowering. You’d think such sophisticated technology would make QuickJack more expensive, but it’s simply not so. Unlike EZcarlift, QuickJack’s auto-locking mechanisms engage at the mid and max extension points, and raising your vehicle takes about 30 seconds. Just another reason our garage lift is the most convenient lift on the market.
EZcarlift’s free-standing open style design provides total accessibility from all sides. Its specially-designed legs take up less a lot less floor space than the common jack stands. At its maximum height, the lift’s open design provides unobstructed access to all areas of the cars underbody, just like the jack stands do.
QuickJack stows to a low 3” profile. EZcarlift is a 1-1/2″ higher. It may not seem like much, but 1-1/2” can make a big difference if you’re trying to slide it under a sports car. The QuickJack is easy to collapse and a lot easier to roll around and stow away, plus it allows full access to your vehicle’s undercarriage. EZcarlift claims “total accessibility,” but their cross braces block access to critical under car components.
There are a lot of “portable” lifts on the market. The problem, however, is that many of them weigh in at almost 1,000 lbs! The EZcarlift is different. It’s the only one of its kind that offers true portability and heavy lifting capability in a light weight package. Despite its outstanding load capacity of 4,400 lbs, it is the lightest lift on the market with a total weight of less than 145 lbs. fully assembled!
More propaganda mixed with some half-truths. Combined, the QuickJack frames weigh between 180-242 lbs. You’d hardly know it, however, by how easy the frames are to roll.
EZcarlift’s 4,400 lb.-lifting capacity is admirable, but QuickJack is more affordable and offers different models, so you have more options. So let’s say you need to lift a 4,000-lb. vehicle: the QuickJack BL-5000SLX is rated for 5,000 lbs. and costs $1,340. Given that our portable car lift is better-constructed, easier to use, and awarded an official safety rating by independent testing facilities, there’s no realistic justification for purchasing an EZcarlift over our model.
The only justification we can think of is the little extra headroom (26″ vs. QuickJack’s 20″), but we didn’t design the QuickJack to make you feel cramped—there’s plenty of room! For a visual reference, check out these videos to see a few nice angles of a car being lifted using QuickJack.
The EZcarlift is extremely compact – it measures less than 2.9 cu ft. and sits just 4″ tall when lowered for easy vehicle clearance.
QuickJack’s frames on our 5000SLX and 7000SLX models do run a little longer than EZcarlift’s, but we wouldn’t want to sacrifice quality and functionality for one less foot of frame. Both the QuickJack and EZcarlift have lifting points that adjust 60″.
It’s even been used as a picnic table and seating bench. The versatility and universality is limited only by your imagination!
EZcarlift is really bent on selling their portable car lift beyond its intended purpose. If you want a chair, buy a chair at your local supercenter for $20. Chairs are more comfortable to sit on than car lifts. If you want an amazingly safe and affordable garage lift that can raise pretty much any light-duty vehicle up to 7,000 lbs. with the touch of a button, go with QuickJack.
We have some final observations about EZcarlift that you should be aware of before making your decision on which garage lift is best for you.
EZcarlift’s cross braces virtually eliminate accessibility to critical undercarriage components, such as the exhaust system, drive shaft, and more. Sure, you could remove one of their cross braces, but that gains just 50% more access, and you’d be sacrificing the integrity of the lift’s support structure. Bad idea. Accessibility should never come at the expense of a safer portable car lift, so only QuickJack offers both total undercarriage access and safety certification to boot.
EZcarlift offers the use of shallow rubber pads to touch your lifting points and hold your car, whereas QuickJack offers both tall and short stackable rubber blocks that are much sturdier.
EZcarlift’s tiny support legs concentrate loads on a small area, which can ruin epoxy floor, tiles, Swisstrax floors, etc. They also eliminate your ability to safely use your lift on dirt or gravel without the additional use of plywood, shoring, etc. Of course, if you’re willing to spend extra cash on accessories, EZcarlift will sell them to you. Their Soft Surface Kit, for example, is $74 plus tax, but the garage lift itself is already nearly $2,000. At some point, we should wonder why their engineering suffers so greatly relative to cost and functionality.
EZcarlift does not offer an SUV adapter kit, so if you have an SUV, we’re sorry you read this far before seeing this.
We just gave you a lot of information that we hope you find helpful. You’re making a big purchase when you make the decision to go from a traditional car jack and stand configuration to a portable car lift. If and when you do make the change, make the right choice and go with QuickJack. To summarize, here is a brief list of points that show the areas where QuickJack definitively beats out EZcarlift:
Designed to work in tight spaces
Total undercarriage access (no cross beams)
Quality of frame construction
Set-up and portability
Pressure against lifting points
TL;DR: When QuickJack is compared with EZcarlift, we see QuickJack is the superior portable garage lift. EZcarlift’s cross braces virtually eliminate accessibility to critical undercarriage components, such as the exhaust system, drive shaft, and more. Accessibility should never come at the expense of a safer portable car lift, and only QuickJack offers both total undercarriage access and safety certification to boot. EZcarlift is also much more expensive, although we can’t figure out why, and does not offer free shipping.
QuickJack’s designers and engineers created a new garage lift with one simple goal in mind: to get drivers under their cars safely, quickly and efficiently. In fact, QuickJack was primarily designed for racers who get tired of dancing with floor jacks and jack stands after each race.
A typical support team’s duty for the weekend is strenuous and repetitive. Just think about it. First the car needs to be made ready. Get the floor jack set up, stands in place and tires off, then back to the floor jack, remove the stands and of course, see the car safely lowered. Then it’s practice time. This means get the floor jack set up, stands in place and tires off, then back to the floor jack, remove the stands and of course, see the car safely lowered. Time to qualify! Get the floor jack set up, stands in place and tires off, then back to the floor jack, remove the stands and of course, see the car safely lowered. Now it’s Saturday. Get the floor jack set up, stands in place and tires off, then back to the floor jack, remove the stands and of course, see the car safely lowered. And yes, the final race. Get the floor jack set up, stands in place and tires off, then back to the floor jack, remove the stands and of course, see the car safely lowered.
QuickJack eliminates all that bending, crouching, pumping, cranking, sweating and (see above) repetition. You will have all your wheels off before other teams have their cars in the air.
Compared to virtually every other garage lift on the market, lifting your car 20” off the ground in 30 seconds with our remote control is also pretty fun, right? For some of our older customers, or those with movement-restricting disabilities or injuries, the push-button lifting technology has opened accessibility to DIY car work to a wider audience than at any point in history. QuickJack doesn’t change how you work, but it makes the job a heck of a lot easier.
So why QuickJack? For one, we felt that garage lift technology has fallen behind. In 2016, for all our good old-fashioned American ingenuity, many of us are still lifting cars the way our grandfather did when he changed the tires on his thousand-year-old deathtrap jalopy that he swore he could keep running another 20,000 miles. And if we’re being honest, car jacks and jack stands like the one he used will always be around. They’re small, portable and generally reliable when used with a jack stand. That being said, old-fashioned car jacks have a tendency to fail, and car lift failure is not something we at QuickJack think you need to be worried about when you’re underneath your car. We knew we could do better.
People who are resistant to change might say, “I don’t need QuickJack when my car jack and stands work just fine.” Well, opening those old spring-loaded garage doors by hand didn’t take that much effort or time, either. Little things like electric garage door openers and the QuickJack simply turn out to be a very much appreciated convenience.
A few portable car jacks have emerged in the last decade or so, but QuickJack is awarded EC Certification according to the coveted EN-1493 safety standard. This was the golden safety standard for us, so we’re very proud to have achieved it.
With our safety plug handled—which QuickJack puts first and foremost, no exceptions—we can compare out features to those of other car lifts and see the QuickJack is always the superior option. EZcarlift™ is often discussed amongst our prospective buyers alongside QuickJack, yet this lift still requires the use of a slow, annoying hand drill; its cross beams will interfere with critical undercarriage work; it’s expensive; it’s not EC-certified like QuickJack; and it requires a full car width next to your car to slide under it.
We knew we could do better. Two-post and four-post lifts are great, but they’re bulky and expensive. Even MaxJax™, a safe and reliable two-post portable car lift, which offers 52” inches of clearance, is significantly more expensive than QuickJack. Many times with multiple cars parked side by side under a canopy, there is simply little or no room to easily navigate a floor jack or floor jack handle.
We knew we could make something new. QuickJack’s demand has been through the roof, and it’s all we can do to try to keep our supply up with what’s currently being ordered. Our fan base is raving about QuickJack. For years, a gap has existed between the garage lift technology that was being offered and the public desire for innovation. QuickJack has filled that gap, and we’re proud to offer incredible customer service as you decide with us which garage lift is best for you. We know you’re considering QuickJack for a reason.
We know you’re going to love us. We thought we might mention… you will get a lot of attention. Not sure if it’s a good thing, but you will be the talk of the paddock area or wherever you’re lifting your car.
TL;DR: We invented QuickJack in order to provide a safer, more efficent and easy-to-use car jacking system to customers tired of car jacks and jack stands. If you can’t afford or fit a full-size car lift, QuickJack is the perfect solution to access every part of your car without worrying about it tipping over, nor do you need to worry about the jack failing.
The best way to find out what makes QuickJack so different is to look at our competition. QuickJack is not your average neighborhood garage lift. One of our competitors, EZcarlift™, says their product is “just like a floor jack.” Well, we at Ranger ask, “What the heck is the point of offering more of what people already have?”
The Ranger QuickJack portable car lift is unique in this business from head to toe (err… from end to end… bumper to bumper… OK you get the idea). And we can prove it by comparing our product to the other guys.
The EZcarlift™ is a relatively simple design, which is why we’re asking, “Why the high price?” Their portable car lift will suck $1,995 out of your pocket for its one and only model. So you must be getting the best for your money, right? Let’s look at the numbers. Its lifting capacity is 4,000 lbs., which is only 500 lbs. more than QuickJack’s baseline model that costs under $1,125. By the way, QuickJack offers models that can lift up 7,000 lbs., which means our portable car lift system is designed to give you the best customer service possible. We believe that no two customers are the same, while EZcarlift™ is hoping you fit with their “one-size-fits-all” model. Final thought here: EZcarlift™ requires the use of a cumbersome hand drill to raise and lower your vehicle, while QuickJack can be raised and lowered with the simple touch of a button. QuickJack is fun, reliable, and easy to use. Call us today at (888) 262-3880 and find out which QuickJack portable car lift model is best for you.
The MaxJax™ is different than both EZcarlift™ and QuickJack in its design, as it is really more of a portable two-post car lift. Still, they really gear themselves toward the home market, so let’s look at what they offer the average Joe. Price is a really sticky factor here. Their packages range from $2,000-$2,240 and come with a max lifting capacity of 6,000 lbs. Yikes! That means their BEST offer falls 1,000 lbs. short of QuickJack’s highest lifting-capacity model, and that same offer costs nearly $250 more than QuickJack’s highest-priced model. Just like with EZcarlift™, MaxJax™ offers only one model, so regardless of what your specific needs may be, you only have one option. And check this out: QuickJack boasts an incredible 60-second stow-to-go time, whereas MaxJax™ advertises that it takes a whopping 15 minutes to stow their product and be on your way. Come on, now! QuickJack offers a higher quality portable car lift at a lower price. Our competition simply can’t compete with our technological innovations. The QuickJack portable car lift system is the only portable car jack you will ever need.
Standard floor jacks and jack stands
We won’t go into specific brands here, but since most people who buy a car jack are dealing with the old-school manual pumping method, you should know the pros and cons of this portable car lift type. First of all, there’s no getting around it—this is the cheapest way to go. You can buy a manual car jack for under $100, and they can run you over $200. But remember… you get what you pay for. These portable car jacks have extremely limited functionality. They may be a workable quick-fix option for a blown roadside tire, but you can’t do much else with it. Even if you take the time to position multiple jacks to get your car off the ground and do some work, you’re trusting your vehicle… and your life… with cheap discount equipment. There’s no money back guarantee worth an extended hospital stay. It’s 2016 and the technology is out there to make you safer and more productive. QuickJack offers a safe, reliable, fun, easy-to-use portable car lift that won’t burn an enormous hole in your pocket, and it comes with the name Ranger on it, so you know it’s been tested using the most rigorous standards on the market. Don’t be fooled by lower-quality car lifts that charge MORE to offer you LESS. Go with QuickJack.
Big purchases are called investments for a reason: the financial payoff usually comes down the road, and they aren’t easy decisions. If you’re going to spend $800+ on any type of equipment, such as a portable car lift, you want to be sure you get what you pay for. There are so many garage lifts and car jacks out there, and the QuickJack is hardly the first. But we are proud to call ourselves the BEST portable car lift. The good news is that our customers actually pay less on day one, compared to our competitors. Our baseline portable car lift model costs under $900. You won’t find quality at that price anywhere else. If your lifting capacity needs take you beyond our baseline model’s capabilities, our competitive pricing on our other QuickJack models means you’re still paying less than the competition… and getting more!
2. Save more in the long run
QuickJack embraces the DIY community because we come from the DIY community. Auto shops—even when you finally manage to find a good one—are expensive. (Seriously, it’s ridiculous.) If the only thing preventing you from saving thousands on labor and body shop-ordered parts is a safe, reliable portable car lift, QuickJack is the name you can trust to get the job done. Car detailing, tire changes, steering alignments, complete undercarriage access, you name it. With an open-center design, chances are the QuickJack portable car lift is the only garage lift you’ll ever need. Because all QuickJack models are made from powerful 14-gauge welded steel frames, you never have to worry about this car lift failing on you when it’s properly used. Remember in point #1 when we said QuickJack is an investment? You’re investing in a product that’s going to last and save you thousands down the road.
3. Designed for optimum efficiency
With a simple touch of a push-button, QuickJack raises to its maximum height extension in just 30 seconds. No hand drills, cranks, or pumps required on this car lift! Plus, QuickJack boasts a 60-second stow to go time, which means when you’re ready to get to work, you can set up your garage lift in less time than it takes to pump your own gas. And when you’re raising your baby on your lift (still talking about your car here), QuickJack’s automatic safety locks engage to keep your cargo secure. When you’re done for the day, QuickJack collapses to a low-profile 3-inch frame. The most efficient portable car lift ever made is available for you today.
4. Only pay for what you need
One thing that really sets QuickJack apart from other portable car lifts is our attention to customer service. Our competitors have one thing in common: they make a single garage lift and convince you its best for you. Not at QuickJack. With four models to choose from, the difference is lifting capacity. If you drive a compact two-door sedan and plan to keep it that way, why should you pay for the lifting capacity of a small truck? And likewise, if you drive a small truck, why should you pay more out-of-pocket with our competitors when the QuickJack portable car lift offers a higher lifting capacity (7,000 lbs. for our max-capable model) for less? Ultimately, if for some reason you aren’t satisfied with QuickJack, our 30-day return policy ensures this portable car lift is a no-risk purchase for you. Leasing options are available and we offer free domestic shipping. With QuickJack, only EVER pay for what you need.
5. Safety Matters
The quality QuickJack offers means more to us than boasting points on our website. You can spend $50-200+ on a traditional car jack from your local convenience supercenter, but let’s face it: your life is worth more than that. Auto maintenance and repair can be done safely with the right equipment. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics in 2012, professional car mechanics faced more dangerous working conditions than firefighters. For the average DIY worker, this puts safety at a premium. Not to reduce the effects of injury and loss to purely financial terms, but if a car lift fails due to faulty or improperly used equipment, the costs can be enormous. Hospital bills, vehicle damages, etc. will add up and take time out of your life. QuickJack’s portable car lift is designed to be safe, ultra high-quality and dependable whenever it’s used properly. Don’t waste time and money on inferior car stands and jacks. Go with QuickJack.
There are several portable car lift options on the market that might appeal to both home buyers and professional body shops. The decision to purchase a new lift can be a major investment, and there are a few things to consider:
Desired weight capacity
Type of work being done
Permanent or temporary setup
Generally, the goal of a portable car lift is to provide a temporary workspace that can be set up and dismantled in relatively little time. If you have the budget and would like to establish a more permanent workspace, there are other options available.
To help you understand the market and decide which portable car lift is best for you, let’s look at a few of the car lift options that are out there.
Low-rise car lift
Low-rise car lifts are a unique option for both home and professional auto shops, all thanks to recent mechanical and technological advances. QuickJack is a portable car lift that collapses to a vertical height of 3”, yet it still has the lifting capacity of 3,500-7,000 lbs. while improving your overall safety and user experience. This is the perfect option for someone looking for a temporary workspace that can be set up and taken down in virtually no time at all.
The downside for some might be cost, as models range from about $900-$1,500. Still, this is less expensive than any two-post or four-post car lift (including portable two-post lifts), and QuickJack offers remote push-button technology that allows you to raise and lower your vehicle with the touch of a button. Other comparable yet more expensive models, like EZcarlift™, require use of a hand drill or other forms of manual labor to raise and lower your car.
Portable car lifts engage the frame of your vehicle at specified lifting points, so it’s important to know where these points are located on your car; furthermore, you should never exceed the weight limit of your portable lift. For most light-duty vehicle work, low-rise car lifts, which generally reach max extensions of 20-26”, can be ideal for home maintenance.
Given their portability, these lifts are increasingly used for auto detailing. Professional shops are catching on, as well. The image below was sent to us by Phil Yiu, the proud owner of Detailer’s Domain, an auto detailing shop based out of New Jersey.
This option is increasingly popular among home auto enthusiasts and DIY’ers, as the added safety benefits of a well-constructed portable car lift like QuickJack is worth a little extra upfront cost (when compared to traditional jacks and stands, which will be discussed later in this article). We try to go out of our way to settle all questions regarding safety. Check out the high-stakes fail test below and see for yourself!
Portable two-post lift
A light-duty two-post car lift like MaxJax™ is different than QuickJack in its design, and therefore serves a slightly different purpose. This portable car lift type is a little more expensive: MaxJax™ packages range from $2,000-$2,240 and come with a max lifting capacity of 6,000 lbs. Like other two-post lifts, this portable car lift will engage the frame of your vehicle, so it’s essential to know the proper lifting points when raising and lowering your car.
The main benefit of something like this over a collapsible car lift is the higher max extension. The QuickJack offers approximately 20” of working room, whereas two-post lifts can rise much higher. A portable two-post lift like MaxJax™ can clear 52” off the ground at max extension.
The downside is that a two-post lift is heavier, bulkier, and takes longer to set up and dismantle. While a smaller portable car lift like the QuickJack can be set up in 60 seconds, MaxJax™ takes about 15 minutes. However, if your needs demand a little extra headroom, this type of portable car lift might work for you. You can fold this portable car lift up and stow it away rather neatly, which makes it ideal for a temporary workspace.
Traditional car jack/jack stand
Many car owners recognize that a small, lightweight car jack can be an essential roadside tool. Any poor soul with a busted tire, flagging people down off the side of the road, is likely repeating one question, “Do you have a jack?”
The basic design concept hasn’t changed much over time, but new jack models from companies like Craftsman™ are introduced regularly to the market. Additionally, car jacks and jack stands can be purchased at any number of large convenience stores (like Sears™) or commercial auto shops. They aren’t fancy, but when used properly, they can get the job done. One major downside is that this “old school” car lift method will take you longer to set up and take down, whereas a portable car lift like QuickJack can be set up in about a minute.
Still, jacks and stands have long been a staple for DIY’ers doing simple repairs and maintenance, such as oil changes or brake pads. Jacks usually cost under $100, and jack stands are highly recommended as an added measure of safety. Never, ever skimp on safety. Obviously, while portable car lifts like the QuickJack can fit easily into the truck of most cars and truck beds, car jacks and stands take up the least amount of space. While this option fits most any budget, if you rely on car jacks and jack stands for your auto repair, make sure you take every available measure to ensure your jack and stand can handle your car weight. They’re all rated differently. It might be a good idea to invest in multiple jacks and stands when operating underneath a motor vehicle, as you can never be too safe.
While not functionally the same as the other portable car lift options on this list, it’s important to know what parking lifts are and what they are not. Parking lifts are not the same as four-post lifts, although both lift types engage the wheels when raising your vehicle (as opposed to the frame on collapsible and two-post lifts). Also unlike all aforementioned lift types, parking lifts do not offer undercarriage access, as they are built to be raised parking platforms, not maintenance tools. Think of it as an extra parking space in your garage.
The benefit of such a device, however, is that they are more compact and less expensive than four-post lifts. If you simply need more vertical parking space in your garage, and you know your available headspace, there is probably a parking lift available to suit your needs.
Editor’s note: This post was updated on 4/13/2017. The latest fail test video was added, as well as information about QuickJack for auto detailing.
When the QuickJack Portable Car Lift is used according to our instructions (vehicle frame’s lifting points properly engaged, weight capacity not exceeded, etc.) the lift is safer and more stable than any jack stand on the market. In fact, QuickJack has been awarded EC-Type Examination Certificate. Safety systems, strength-of-design, manufacturing quality and electrical compliance are just a few things that these third-part testing laboratories investigate rigorously before awarding certification.
If you compare our safety standards to those of other portable car lifts, you’ll find that QuickJack leads the industry in both safety and quality. We’re proud of that.
There is no portable car lift like QuickJack on the market, so it’s natural to ask questions related to safety, and we’re glad you care enough to ask. Collapsible and portable car lifts are not entirely new products. In general, auto enthusiasts are used to seeing portable scissor jacks, traditional jacks/stands and of course, a garage lift like MaxJax™ that resembles familiar two-post lifts. QuickJack, for lack of a better phrase, is sort of a wrench in the system because it looks and behaves unlike any of the other aforementioned car lifts. To ensure safety (and receive EC-Type Examination Certification), QuickJack is constructed with 14-gauge welded steel frames. It’s thick, high-quality steel that’s made to last. We’re also very proud of QuickJack’s automatic safety locks. These locks engage at both the mid and max levels.
Sometimes people wonder if the maximum extension is somehow more unsafe than the mid-level. Interestingly enough, while the mid-level rise is certainly safe to operate under, the max extension further reduces the horizontal force of the car against the lift, which in turn reduces stress on the unit. Think of it this way. If you stick your right arm straight out in front of you and let a trusted (non-violent) friend smack your forearm, your arm is easier to move (QuickJack, however, won’t.) If you take that same arm, stick it straight up in the air, make a fist and let your friend hit it, your arm is better locked in place. Given that QuickJack is an engineering marvel, it’s not going to fall on you at any rise level. The auto-locking safety arms just the icing on the cake for an already extraordinarily safe car lift.
There are many different car lift options on the market: two-post lifts, four-post lifts, portable car lifts, alignment lifts, etc. Some are intended for commercial use, while others can be conveniently operated in most small business or home garages. QuickJack is entirely different. Its main features are its portability and ease-of-use, and it sets itself apart from other low-rise lifts because it offers open undercarriage access. If you’re not familiar with QuickJack or portable lift options in general, we’ll break down the difference between the QuickJack, two-post lifts and four-post lifts.
QuickJack Portable Car Lift
Invented in 2013, QuickJack was designed to revolutionize the way home buyers view portable car lifts. While QuickJack can certainly be used in commercial garages, its main purpose is to provide automotive hobbyists and home buyers with an affordable, premium-quality portable car lift that can be stowed, set up and utilized with no hassle. Three models are offered with weight capacities of 3500, 5000 and 7000 lbs.
Like two-post lifts, QuickJack engages the frame of your vehicle at your vehicle’s designated lift points. It rises to a maximum height of approximately 21” off the ground (with stackable rubber blocks) and sits a mere 3” above the ground when fully collapsed (3.5″ for the 7000 model). Additionally, QuickJack takes only 30 seconds to fully rise, and it does it all with the simple touch of a button on the pendant remote control. Safety locks automatically engage at the mid and max levels. No pumps, mechanical cranks or jack stands necessary. Urethane wheels let you roll it around the garage and make it easy to transport the frames to and from the track. In fact, racers love the QuickJack because it’s so portable and easy to maneuver around tight spaces.
Regardless of where you set up your car lift, QuickJack is safer and more stable than jack stands and doesn’t feature crossbeams that interfere with your work. so think of QuickJack like a safer, more advanced and user-friendly car jack/stand combination, making it the perfect portable car lift. As an added bonus, QuickJack is the perfect tool for washing and detailing your car, light-duty truck or SUV. Watch the video below to see what we mean.
Summary: If you want a portable car lift that emphasizes safety and ease-of-use, QuickJack is perfect for you.
Automatic safety locks—safer than traditional jacks/stands
Remote push-button control
3″ collapsible frame
30 seconds to reach 20″ max rise
Constructed with high-grade 14-gauge steel
Equal or higher lifting capacity compared to other portable car lifts
Less rise than two/four-post lifts
Still the staple car lift of the commercial automotive industry, two-post lifts offer excellent undercarriage access and can rise high enough to operate while sitting comfortably or standing. Arms extend from each post that branch out and engage the right and left lifting points on the front and back of your vehicle frame. It’s vital to know where the lifting points are located on your vehicle. Given the increased size and thickness of the support beams (compared to QuickJack), as well as the increased support power of the arms, two-post lifts can handle more weight than the smaller, more portable QuickJack. BendPak offers two-posts lifts with weight capacities between 9,000-18,000 lbs. and max rises between 69-72”.
Two-post and four-post lifts are much bulkier than QuickJack, and they are intended to be permanent fixtures that remain bolted into the ground. They are more expensive and therefore less ideal for the casual automotive hobbyist, but anyone with enough garage space and an inclination to do a lot of work on cars might find one worth the investment. This lift type is serious equipment—heights range from 113-192”.
Summary: The most commonly used professional car lift. Can be used in spacious home garages that are able to accommodate the size of professional equipment.
Excellent undercarriage access for most repairs
More rise than portable car lifts
Same lift type used by most professional auto/body shops
Higher lift capacity than portable car lifts
Bulky, cannot be stowed away
More expensive than QuickJack
Requires more space to install and operate
Like QuickJack and two-post lifts, four-post lifts offer complete undercarriage access. The four-post lift is unique, however, because your vehicle’s wheels rest on a lift platform. Since the frame is not engaged, getting cars on and off the lift is as easy as driving over a platform, eliminating the risk of missing a lifting point and damaging the vehicle frame. Four-post lifts can also be used as parking lifts. Because they require four posts to be bolted firmly to the ground, they are capable lifting almost any automotive vehicle. BendPak offers four-post lifts with lifting capacities between 7,000-40,000 lbs. These lifts are necessary for the most heavy-duty vehicles, such as commercial transport vehicles and trucks. Rolling bridge jacks can be used to elevate wheels to perform wheel service.
Summary: Automotive hobbyists and commercial shop owners may enjoy this lift’s ability to handle nearly any weight load, as well as the added benefit that this lift doubles as a parking lift.
Heavy-duty models are capable of handling incredible loads

Top Reviewed Specialists At This Dealership
Mike and Michael are great - ctschi3824
This dealership understands customer service. I own a new 2017 suburban that had a few issues that the dealership I bought it from said "too bad so sad" its as is. I took it to John Megel, and they covered everything I wanted under the sun in the warranty. The repairmen are smart and resourceful too. One of them went and removed a fog lamp from a new suburban on their lot to replace mine just so I they could get me fixed the day I brought it in.
Very accomidating! - lesterlee0523
Jimmy Britt took my truck in when I could bring it and repaired it without me having to be there. Picked it up Sunday when they said I could, and had done almost everything I needed done while they had my vehicle. They were very polite and attentive to my needs. Will use them again and recommend to all of my friends for sales and service!

2018 Tahoe - Satisfied Customer
I'm not an easy customer, I have bought a new vehicle every 2-3 years my entire adult life, so I know I think I know the ends and outs of how dealers jack customers around. I dealt with a good sales rep named T.J via email for about two weeks....first about ordering a specific model of Suburban, equipped the way I wanted it as opposed to the way a dealer orders them for the masses. I just couldn't pull the trigger on ordering one, because you WILL pay very, very close to MSRP on it. (If someone knows a way to order one and get a deep discount on it, please let me know!).
Anyway, I decided to go a different direction and hold off.
A couple of weeks later, I was driving by and thought "what the xxxx, let's see what's on their lot" and pulled in. This is where it get's good....I parked my RAM 2500 and got out and walked around for 20-30 minutes looking at their inventory and not one person accosted me. I liked that. In fact, being jumped as soon as I pull on a dealer lot is the one thing that makes me get out of there ASAP. I hate aggressive salesmen. So I see three stunning 2018 Tahoe's....black, 4x4, Z71 package, Midnight Edition. (I would love to see this in a Suburban). I check them all out, still not being accosted. So I walk inside, ask for TJ and we proceeded to go look at the Tahoe's. It was good timing on my part, so let's just say that TJ and Day's Chevy made a sales offer I was very comfortable with.
So just for giggles, I asked them to make me an offer on my 2015 RAM 2500 (which was VERY nice...Cummins diesel, leveled, 4x4, Laramie, Crew Cab, 8 foot bed, Warn winch, Fuel rims, Micky T 35" off road tires and only 10,300 miles on it). Well about 30 minutes later, Days made me an offer on my RAM I just couldn't turn down.
So I got a great deal on a new Tahoe and a more than fair price on my RAM 2500.
Aside from all of those good things I've mentioned, the facilities were immaculate and I only had to speak with two people.....TJ and Chris (the paperwork guy).
Days Chevrolet has the right business model for a modern dealership in my experience.
Go see for yourself.
Worked me in quickly. - joelunchbox
Dropped Ion off without an appointment for alignment. I am very pleased that they were able to do it in less than 90 minutes. Alignment was done right the first time, too! Nice job!
Excellent Service - Terry
I took my car in to get my AC fixed. It was handled immediately and professionally. Everyone is so friendly and helpful. Greg, in the Service Department, is the greatest.
Poor service if you didn’t buy from them - Beast
Dishonest, Rude, kept my vehicle 2 days and didn’t repair it. Didn’t even look at it the first day! Put customers that purchased from this dealership ahead of my appointment.
Maintenance service - Deltagirl
Excellent service and friendly and helpful customer service. The people there go out of their way to make sure you are satisfied with every service they do.
"Best Customer Service" - turner_regan
Ed Daniels at Daniels Chevrolet goes above and beyond for all of his customers to help them find the perfect vehicle for them. We have been using this dealership for over 10 years! Not only will Ed find you the best vehicle for you, but he always gives the best prices! Go to Daniels Chevrolet and ask for Ed!!
Great Experience! - New car deanna2017
Buying a car can be a little stressful. Working with Kevin made buying a car easy. He answered all my questions and was more than helpful. If you are looking to buy a car hassle free, ask for Kevin.
An Amazing Experience! - Rickytm5
I believe that the experience at a dealership starts with its people and it continues from there with the Delerships overall building, grounds quality and then it’s inventory.
NeSmith absolutely exceeds on all of these areas. They have the most friendliest personnel that I’ve ever seen, their building is beautiful, the exterior and interior are well maintained and best of all, they have athe largest inventory, diverse selection of automobiles and (custom) Trucks not found anywhere. I found that The Service and Parts Department continues and makes sure that your buying experience doesn’t stop there, they make sure that your new vehicle receives its necessary service on time, they also provide you with the installation of any additional accessories that parts may offer you or that you may want to enhance your new or used vehicle experience.
Thank y’all for a job well done !!!!
Good Experience with my Purchase - CTSV XT5
Bought a 2018 Cadillac XT5 from Sales Professional Terry Lane. No BS good deal, honest Christian. Changed my mind about this dealership. Gave me a fair price on my 2013 Cadillac. Not too often you can purchase a car and pay no Taxes and no interest.
service - maindriver
Just about every time I bring me car in for a grease & oil change I have had to bring my car back in before I even leave so they could put air in my tires. No one has checked it. This time they did not even reset my oil gauge to 100%. I am just wondering what else they did do. I thought this was a 6 point inspection. I never got a sheet for one.
Service experience - Camaro owner
I drove a new honda for three years. I worked really hard and paid it off. I never had anything go wrong with it in miles 3 to 70,000 that I drove it. I traded the honda in for a camaro. So far it has developed a loud rattle in the shifter (a frequent problem for manual 6th gen camaros), the headliner has come unstuck, and another piece of trim has fallen down inside the car. This all happened in the first 5k miles. Tammy in service is really good to work with. I had a hard time with a couple of others especially when one of them told me that I had modded the car when it is totally stock and when I was telling them about the rattle in the shifter another guy asked me if I had ever driven a manual before (to which I said I had about 100k miles experience before buying the car). Both times Tammy jumped in and helped me out. She also helped me get set up with a car so I can go to work. Chevy might not have the most reliable car but at least they will honor the warranty without much hassle. I love my camaro. I hope this is all that goes wrong with it because I plan on keeping it for a long time. Ask for Tammy!
Great Sales and Service at the Dublin Auto Outlet - edyer01
Matt & Sandy were very professional, courteous, & helpful on more then the deal itself. I believe they both deserve a raise. They went above an beyond the call of duty. They really took time and effort in finding the correct vehicle for my wife and I to drive home happy. I really want to thank them.
Satisfied Buyer - Tarheelduck
Pam Robertson provided exceptional service during our purchase. She went above and beyond to provide the information we needed to make the 3 hour drive to the dealership. When we arrived we were greeted with a smile. Pam was patient and made sure we were comfortable with our deal. She also was very knowledgeable about the Yukon that we purchased and explained all of the features in detail. My first stop for my next General Motors vehicle will be Hardy Chevrolet Buick GMC! This was by far my best car buying experience.
Oil change - Joker
Service was well done, and fast. Wait time was a little long, but maybe it was just busy.
I needed an engine air cleaner but they had none in stock. In their defense no body else has one either

Newer shape CR-V 4 wheel drive travelled only 57000 Kms in immaculate condition inside and out. In our opinion one of the best Mid size SUV's on the market in this era. Drives and handles more like a car with its double wishbone suspension and smooth and powerfull 2.4 i-VTEC engine, the benchmark for engines of this size. Also has a conventional Automatic transmission rather than a CVT. This one looks very smart and modern with its Factory fitted Sports Bodykit and 18 inch Alloys. The CR-V's 4 Wheel Drive Twin Pump system is different to most others because it mainly runs in Front Wheel drive unless either of the wheels loose traction even for a second then the rear Diff locks in instantly. If you are looking for a smart looking and driving SUV with more room than most then this one is for you.

An American-German brute.
Americans know how to build high-displacement, muscular cars unlike any other country on the globe (except for maybe Australia). The Dodge Viper goes against all of the trends of downsizing engines, hybrid drivetrains, and forced induction with its massive, fuel-gulping naturally-aspirated V-10 engine. GeigerCars, the American-tuning specialists in Germany, loves this dedication to going against the grain so they made it even better with some old-fashioned German engineering.
GeigerCars focused on power, handling, and aerodynamics with the American super snake. The 8.4-liter V-10 was given a healthy boost in power from its factory 640 horsepower, 600 lb-ft. output. This comes thanks to a newly modified airbox and a custom exhaust system featuring tubular headers and sport catalytic converters. A new ECU software remap helps to take advantage of the engines improved airflow and pushes it to 710 horsepower at 6,100 RPM and 635 lb-ft. of torque at 5,500 RPM, hence the ‘GiegerCars Dodge Viper GTS R710’ name.
With the added power, the Dodge Viper GTS R710 can accelerate to 62 mph from rest in just 2.9 seconds and hit a top speed in excess of 211 mph.
The added power means that the tires and suspension have to work even harder. So, GeigerCars gave the Dodge Viper GTS R710 a new KW Variant 2 coilover suspension kit. The new upgrade lowers the ride height by 30 mm and offers 16-way adjustability to get the most out of the factory wheel and tire setup for a given track.
The finishing touch for the GeigerCars Dodge Viper GTS R710 is an in-house carbon fiber aerodynamic kit. The new kit includes a full front spoiler lip, rear spoiler, and rear apron insert with integrated diffuser made from lacquered carbon fiber to keep weight to a minimum.
The full GeigerCars Dodge Viper GTS R710 upgrade package is available as a complete program or as individual accessories. The performance tuning is priced at 11,900 euros, the KW Variant 2 coilovers are 4,700 euros, and the carbon fiber aerodynamics are available for 5,866 euros.
GeigerCars Dodge Viper GTS R710 Specifications
Displacement: 8.4 liters
Number of Cylinders: V-10
Maximum Horsepower: 710 / 522 kW at 6,100 RPM
