Anybody using Quickjacks?
I saw these a few months ago and a friend has them for his Z06. Would love a set since my garage won't accept a lift. Anybody using this? What unit? And hey Bob DeMarco, here's something for a group buy thing.

Re: Anybody using Quickjacks?
I think these were on display in Carlisle this year....or something very similiar. Seemed like a slick set up. Lift car, engage locks and remove hydrolic lines for easy moving around.
They had a C7 sitting on it. |

Re: Anybody using Quickjacks?
I looked at the Quickjack and talked to the sales person.
Thoughts: The Quick seems to be well made. I did not get to operate the hydraulic pump assembly. Each side unit is "portable", but not light weight. It requires getting down on the floor to manually position the jack and the spacer blocks, twice and then connecting the hydraulic hose to each unit separately. After raising the car, it would be easy to access all 4 tires at the same time. The jack occupies the entire side (both) under the car. To work under the transmission for example you would have to crawl in from the front or the back. With the car on the Quick Lifts, I am not sure where you would position jack stands. The Quick Lift is "covering" the entire frame rail on both sides. I would never go under a car only supported by a jack. Jim

Re: Anybody using Quickjacks?
I bought the BL-5000SLX a few months ago and have only used it a few times but it works well and I am satisfied with it. It is easier and quicker to get a car up and down than using a jack and jack stands and it provides enough clearance to easily get under the car on a creeper. I keep it on the garage floor with both sections close together so i can park a car over it. When i use it I pull the hoses out straight, drive the car into position without driving over the hoses, then pull the quickjack into position, connect the hoses to the power unit, and push the button. Takes only a few seconds to lift and mechanical latches lock it in position.
