Portable 6000-lb Lift

Lifts up to 45". Can be stowed away when not in use. 15 min. install to get it ready. A dream equipment for frequent DIYers

how much do they run?

Well, portable is stretching the word to the limit

. A more appropriate word is 'removable'. A floor jack is portable.

Anyway, it's one of the more 'portable' lifts, but still requires precisely drilling your garage floor, and an oversize garage to store it. Plus you need 2 people to reinstall it, not to mention air tools. I'm going to stick to jack stands here

I agree. but you don't need 2 people to install. neither do you need air tools.

Haven't thought it all through, but for the weekend DIYer which this product was designed for, it seems like a good product as long as it is safe enough. It's nice to be able to put it away and to be able to at least get under if your garage is not tall enough for a typical lift.

It only takes me 5 minutes to set it up or take it down. I leave the right side in place and only remove the left. It needs about 10amps to get the motor running. You only need two people if you only have one arm apiece or are a weakling...everything is on wheels.

Beats the sh1t outta jack stands brother, working on your back, not being to see anything...not even f'ing close despite being a low rise lift.

One of the best things I've bought for my garage. I mainly use it for my Spec Boxster racer but it'll easliy lift the M3 and is even rated to lift my Tundra.

Drilling for the anchors is the most challenging part of the install, but it just requires a good hammer drill and Bosch bits.

I got it for $2050 delivered to my house including the motorcycle adapter and extra anchors to change the spacing for larger cars.

Not fully extended, the garage door is up and there are bikes in the way.

It obviously makes sense for you. I was referring to my need to lift my car maybe once every two years, for a tranny oil change; hardly anything else I do requires having the whole car lifted flat at once. Not a good ROI for me

. Depends what use it's going to get, I guess. And yes, I do all the maintenance on my vehicles and bikes. Have a good one.

Nice! I definitely gotta get one of these when I buy a house!

How high is your garage? Does your car roof touch the top when fully extended?

It's 9' but there's a beam at 8', with my Boxster I can fully extend the lift. The M3 is close but it's a few inches taller. With the garage door open I only have about 7'-8" clear.

I may center the lift more in the garage but I first need to swap garage door opener to a sidemounted Liftmaster 3800 jackshaft opener.

BRDHNTR · 02-14-2010, 09:29 AM

That looks great. I might have to get one for the new garage

GreenPlease · 02-14-2010, 01:28 PM

This is awesome

great find, definitely getting one of these for the house.

tightie · 02-14-2010, 03:02 PM

this is really sick... i want to pick one up

albert1028 · 02-14-2010, 03:43 PM

FYI, I've read over on some other forums, that some people have setup a group buy, I even saw a deal on another forum that already passed, like $1500 shipped.

consolidated · 02-14-2010, 03:53 PM

Thanks guys, having a lift in my house is just bad ass.

Keep in mind if you have 12' ceilings you might be better off with a true two post lift with standing clearance, more safety features and have parking underneath.

This was for a groupbuy back in January 2009. I'm guessing maybe if there are enough people who are interested, someone can organize a group buy. I would love one of these if I had my own garage, in the future i will!
