Friend forwarded this to me. Looks interesting. Might be a good alternative for some to a permanent lift...
Max Jax P.S. play the video

Re: Max Jax
I really like it. Note the anchor bolt specs are for 3000psi concrete. No house garage will have that unless ordered special. Most houses are 2000 psi concrete.

Re: Max Jax
They used that spec for the anchor bolt strength calculation. I don't think 3000 psi concrete is a requirement, but their calculation is off....
Nice setup. Price??

Re: Max Jax
Doesn't lift it high enough to stand underneath it.

Re: Max Jax
I'd be scared to be under that car..I saw a Volkswagen van/bus fall off a 2 post lift years ago...It wasn't pretty..
I dont question the compression strength of the lift...it is the balance of the car that I would worry about. With a big block hanging off one end of the lift, i'd be concerned. And I do own a 2 post lift along with three 4 post lifts...but my 2 post lift sure looks a whole bunch more heavyduty than this one. ...I think for the 1700 bucks, a 4 post lift just seems worth all the money. How much less can this lift cost?? Anyone know the price??...i guess it is space effective though. jmo....

Re: Max Jax
------I bought a two-post lift without any kind of tie-bar across the top a couple of years ago. The company went out of business shortly after I bought it which is another story, but I never could get over the feeling that it would collapse inward someday. I finally had some problems with it and because the Co. was gone I gave the thing away and bought another with a tie-bar. Along with this one being much better, I just seem to trust it more with that tie-bar up there..........Bill S

Re: Max Jax
I'm not getting under that thing. I would be curious as to testing and a copy of their product liability.

Re: Max Jax
One word, "YIKES!" If you use it as shown and don't permanently mount it, it looks like two words, "Oh S#*T !"

Re: Max Jax
Most two post lifts bolt to the ground similar to this one so I don't see a issue there and I think Danmar is a big Co and have probably done their homework. The big sales pitch is the wheels they have attached. It just doesn't lift high enough for me.
