- For more information: Call 1 (877) 432-6627 or go to www.maxjaxusa.com. The MaxJax is a 6,000 pound capacity car lift that sets up in minutes and uses recessed anchors to bolt to your floor. It's a portable two-post lift that is designed for standard low-ceiling garages or automotive shops and has the ability to stow away when you're done!

This is PERFECT for those people that want a lift in the garage but the garage is not tall enough to accommodate a full size lift. This is way better that the typical jack stands, floorjack and those things that you have to drive up on and hoping you don't drive off or keeping them from sliding forward as you try to drive up. Seriously though, stop hating on something that has been missing for the typical home garage.
Santa brought one this year and I love it! Installation took about 5 hours but after that, it's a breeze. It holds my Toyota Tacoma pickup, 2011 Hyundai Sonata and my hot-rodded 1950 Studebaker with no problem whatsoever. And, @ Elizabeth Brown - you don't have to be short. Sitting on a roll-around works perfectly. As for portability, Jacob, it unbolts from the floor in less than 2 minutes and rolls easily against the side of my garage. Where were these things 20 years ago?
How did it take 5 hours to drill 10 holes and insert the anchors?
At 2:39, the kid thinks, "Hey, what do we have here? Is this a wheel? I've never seen one this close to my face. I wonder what's behind it. OMG!"
how do i get this off? what does it do?
cory thomas HA HA , and who am i , what the hell i'm doing here.
love this idea for my new garage... works so much better and safer than a floor jack n stands and strugeling
I bought this several years ago. It works well.
I can't wait until I have the money to buy one of these!
Is it weird to pay more attention to the garage cuz of how clean, nice and organized it is then paying attention to the lift???
Great Demonstration - This is too easy! Great Equipment!
@MrKaoVue
Why not? It uses the same bolting system as the full-size professional lifts found in automotive shops.
@ 1:30 when he plugs the hydraulic hose in the yellow arms are not on the post lol a sort of a blooper as they were on in the previous footage before hooking up the hose.
@sleepless247 Yes, It implements recessed anchor bolts so that it can be unbolted when finished.
So the word straight from Max Jax says the anchor bolts can not be within 6" on a concrete expansion joint. But if you watch this video again they are very close and one side even splits the expansion joint of the concrete. There is no way I would trust the lift in this video.
yea they also have a cross member on top so they dont collapse in while ur under it....beside you have to be like 4ft tall to work under this lift
Love it... I just ordered one and can't wait to get it (back ordered till 5-21-10 booo) and put it to good use.
It's been 10 years how is it?
@cozmacozmy >> Awesome! I have used it several times already. It sure beats jack stands.
you have a extreme big garage and you put the lift so near to the work table?
Sweeeeeeet...NEED THIS
I do not think this is safe to install. You could argue how strong the bolts are but it does depend a lot on how strong the concrete floor is. Regular car garage has a 3.5"-6" thickness, these bolts are probably around 3-3.5". Your floor may look new because of epoxy coating, but the concrete may be broken underneath. The bolts may not break if designed correctly, but the concrete definitely could fail in this case. And it is silly to install these very close to the concrete edges/corners where concrete cracks happen mostly.
I’m afraid it would collapse inward. Those anchor bolts are too short. Google the company who makes it and see if they’ve been sued.
Why are both posts literally on top of an expansion joint? Shouldn't they be a minimum of 6" from any breaks, cracks, or joints?
That's not an expansion joint, but rather a control joint.
Could I use this to separate a car body from a full chassis?
You can only lock it fully up?
Do you have technical experts in different areas that can install these lifts? Im really interested in buying one but I don't know anybody I would trust to install it. In NY btw
interested in this lift.... any idea how thick that floor is? The anchors seem to be really close to those seams. I've got saw cuts in my floor near where I'd like to mount the posts.....
i have been looking for the full size 10,000lbs lift like this
One little mistake in balancing the load and down it comes..... 2x2x3 foot concreate block with L anchors will insure saftey.
lol you were nominated!
Already had my oil changed by the time he set it up.
It’s not suited for just oil changes lol
are the anchor bolts too close to the cement cracks?
Those aren't "cracks". They're designed into the floor so that IF it did crack, it'd stop at those lines. It works somewhat how ripstop nylon does.
@petec1972 Yes the minimum thickness of the concrete is 4". If you are concerned about where to drop the anchors, you can always email our technical experts at contact@dannmar.com.
Can someone explain WHY would the designer not just put 2 foot or 3 or 4 foot wide "feet" on the bottom AND have it bolted to the floor? It would be just as portable, but with the added security of knowing it won't topple over. I can not imagine doing anything "weight shifting" with this, as in taking out an engine or tranny or rear end.
@MrKaoVue why it looks 100% safe.
Hi sent to you UK branch but not heard a thing from them
Q. Can you lock it of at other heights, or just at the max. ie if you were installing engine and need lift 2' off ground Thanks looks great
Purchased my MaxJax over 6 months ago and I have not been able to use it one time as the anchor start failing on the first test! I have good concrete its 6 inches deep the anchors fail no response not giving me any estimate on the epoxy anchors I've been building cars with jackstands meanwhile I have a max Jack wasting space in my garage I'm afraid to use it because it will kill me if it fails. I wish I would have just kept the money in my pocket. it wasted my cash and my time.. I'm done screwing with it. I have not have yet been able to benefit from it. I would have much rather built my own lift. Step up to the plate MaxJax and provide some epoxy acres from the get go. Or at least give me an estimate on them
Go with a scissor lift man
I'm with you I don't trust this in a home garage
Why don't you just buy epoxy anchors yourself? Tons of brands you can buy in like 5 minutes online
@sleepless247 if it didn't the car could easily be pushed forward or backwards. thats bad.
so how much does it cost
Went to a lot of trouble just to examine the strut assembly.
Probably the cheapest marketing video production I’ve see.
@joel70605soileau How did it work for you??
HOW MUCH?
its obviously only used for making videos... I bet that tool box is empty too...
Fullforce LTX are you an idiot?
Do you have a minimum requirement of slab thickness to install this?
In Australia standard base for homes now are 100mm thick
Is this enough? like as in if the car comes down on me who's to blame?
your telling everyone you can install these in a home garage but what is the minimum ? Its a very big deal
Muck Man, why don't you check out the website? All specs are there.
10 cm is pretty thick, I would think so. The weight of the average car likely doesn't come close to lift capacity.
Those anchoring bolts are WAY too short. Good luck. I wouldn't trust my life to sit on one of those.
Go to their site, the math is done and these are WAY strong enough!
Please explain with science.
@@Rockmixerstar I went to the white house website, they said there is a president there, I thought there was a buffoon residing there, guess you can't believe everything to you read on the net
Typically only 6 threads are needed to achieve full bolt pullout strength.
Cool concept, but I need something that has at a minimum, a max lift height of 6'6". And bigger anchors would be better....
It's clearly not made for everyone. For the average hobby car guy, especially with a standard garage ceiling height, these are perfect. You can easily sit on a chair/stool and work under a car. Why do you think bigger anchors would be better? Can you tell me the lateral load you expect to apply to this application? I ask because the (5) 5/8" Grade 8 bolts (per side) would have a total shear value of around 450ksi. Exactly what application would you be applying to these jacks where they'd see this kind of lateral force acting upon their anchor bolts?
@geldartm Which UK distributor did you contact? You might try Liftmaster Garage Equipment Limited.
As for the locking positions, yes there is an additional locking position at 24 inches. Feel free to contact us directly with any questions: contact@dannmar.com
LIFT WITH YOUR LEGS NOT YOUR BACK! :)
its an ok lift if your a damn miget who wants to have to set under the car on the floor.
That's the point. It's for garages with low ceiling height.
Big Honda Guy ananwncwmsMsamebweqer
Does it have to be bolted to the floor?
Yess
Hmmm I dunno... I'd be kinda scared to work under this thing. It doesn't have a cross-beam to prevent it from collapsing inward!
You could add one to it
I need this in Germany. How can i get this fantastic invention???????
Hah! No lifts in Deutschland?! And they say German engineers are the best! We beat you, Germany! :D
We have no Lifts like that. Our lifts are 2,50m. But my garage is only 2,30m
Gaz Girl Use your indoor voice.
Only thing I see incorrect in the video is bending your back to lift the arms off the floor, bend at the knees. No I don't work for OSHA.
Interesting idea though. Looks easy enough. My only issue is I am 6'5 so unless there is a taller model...it wouldn't really work in my garage. I am interested in these though
@jaclymk true as
Whats the point of this lift? Takes longer than using jack stands, and you still cant stand underneath it.
You can sit on a rolling chair and work which is a lot easier than laying on your back.
And you can do most suspension work standing, and with the right flat bed you can drop subframe to get to engine and transmissions. Its meant for big boy work. Edit: just realized this was posted years ago...
Its not portable if you have to drill holes in the floor to anchor it
IT'S NOT PORTABLE IF IT HAS TO BE ANCHORED DOWN
tonycavez idiot
@@axtra92 well he's not wrong... your house is portable to you know.... if you remove all the nails, screws and anchors 🤷♂️
Trust me...I've had 2 and 4 post lifts, as well as I now have a 9k lb scissor lift...this lift is PORTABLE because in the event of relocation, you can move the damn thing. Every time I move it's a matter of defying death and using forklifts, etc. This is a manageable and movable system, when you need to move it. Plus, you can certainly unbolt it and move it aside if you don't mind the labor.
i would never put my life at risk for this junk.
even with the regular lift 10,000 lb capacity. i still get scare going under the car at times. lol.
I do believe that if you could not curse when talking, you would be UNABLE to speak.
Oh well.
This guy looks like a tool and pissed off at the same time!!!
That thing would kill you.
Your car can kill you every time you drive it.
Low.
Don't look like it lifts very much
Must suck if you need work under the car with a thing like that.. xD
i still wouldnt trust this..
junk
