Scissor lift group buy


Perci

Recommended Posts

I've always wanted a hoist in my garage to work on my car, but it doesn't have the height for one. I'd heard of various smaller lifts, but none of them seemed to work in my mind. Well, I found one. http://www.ezcarlift.com Not cheap, but seems to have a good reputation. It lifts the car up to 26 inches, which it plenty for changing wheels, brakes, or oil. I've priced one out, but in the course of my discussion with them, I asked if they would consider a group buy. They said yes, but it is on 6+ units.

 

Would anybody else be interested? They are about $2200, quantity one.

If the scissor lift didn't work out theres a short 2 post lift by Majax available through Costco for ~$2k

Hi Perci,

I know this thread is a bit old, but did anything come of this?

No, it ended up with just 2 being interested, so I gave up on the group buy. I did however buy one of the lifts, and I'm quite pleased with it, having used it to change oil on the Cayman. Brakes are next.

 

It wasn't the least expensive thing out there, but weighs less than 75kg and comes apart removing 8 bolts. Which is more my idea of 'portable', than the Maxjax Malcolm mentions.

hi Perci.......I have the same garage constraints as you with limited height and the Majax option works well.

 

I leave one leg in the anchor points and the other is removed once the car project is complete and we need the other side of the space to park another vehicle. The lift gives full access to everything under the car from regular maintenance to major projects.

 

While this option is not perfect it does function well until such time I downsize the house and build a larger MAN cave :)

 

cheers.......Malcolm
