Anyone here using this lift system? Looks interesting and reasonably priced. Thoughts?

I must be blind because I don't see pricing info. They look like a great addition to my garage and now I'm curious about them too.

Edit - found pricing on another site for the 5000 and it isn't exactly low priced. The 3500 is borderline since our cars weigh this much when stock. Still an interesting product and maybe I'd go for it if it was under a grand.

 

$1295 for the 5,000# lift, not as well priced as the $995 3,500# lift but still interesting since it's such a PITA to get our cars up on 4 jack stands when needed. Less expensive than other lift options it seems.

 

Here is what I use it's called a Kwik-Lift all you do is use a jack and the legs drop down & lock the pins in and your good to go. Lifts it 24in from the ground and are very safe.

 

I have the quick lift it is very safe, but cumbersome in size and weight.

 

What's the price on the Kwik-lift?

 

This looks good but doesnt help when you need to get the car in the air with all 4 wheels off. I would prefer the OP's first option, just move up to the 5000lb version.

 

Let google be your guide, around $1000.

I did some google searching online on the Quick Jack as it would be great for my relatively small garage. Unfortunately it appears both the 3500 and 5000 models are not long enough for our Porsches. Per reading other online reviews is not possible to get the support blocks under the Porsche jacking points. I don't understand how they could design it this way as they are losing alot of business.

 

I was going to get one until I learned about the jack point issue. It's a no go. I think their reason was that making it any longer would compromise the structural integrity.

 

Bummer on the length! I was so ready to buy one. Back to the drawing board.
