Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

14 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hello, I have a C4S and a newly finished garage floor (Elite Crete system) I'd like to protect from the quickjack I just purchased. I found one forum posting where someone mentioned placing felt furniture pads underneath their quickjack to protect their epoxy floor. I was wondering if anyone else has done it already as well. The obvious drawback I see so far is having to have extras on hand in case one falls off so that your not lifting unevenly...

You could probably try a Horse Stall mat.

POST 3Original post

... It's a garage floor! Epoxy (at least the stuff I painted my garage floor with) is pretty tough stuff - I drag jacks and my EZ Lift around on mine all the time and it doesn't show all that much damage. If it' gets bad enough, I'll hit it with another coat of epoxy...

POST 4Original post

I use 7mm composite plank when necessary. It’s easy to move around and keep my tools and bolts on top - without them blending in with floor colors.

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I ended up putting felt pads underneath the lifts which has been working well. Makes them a lot easier to slide around and they are keeping my floor from getting scratched up.

Have you tried or thought of maybe using leather chair leg protectors? Might be a more durable option for a epoxied garage floor. I put them under my table saw and band saw. Chair leg floor protectors

POST 7Original post

Just lay a sheet of 1/4" thick masonite under the jack.

POST 8Original post

I have a polyaspartic chip floor and it�s basically bullet proof. I used to put plywood under my jack stands but even that�s not necessary. The quick jack doesn�t even have any sharp edges so no worry at all.

I have the same floor, it�s amazing. I don�t even use soap to clean it, just mop with water. The only caveat is that it does take a few weeks to cure. I haven�t seen anything even make a dent

POST 10Original post

I�ll add this, I have RaceDeck which is obviously softer than a good coated floor� it doesn�t leave any marks. I have a VW Touareg that weighs 5k that has sat on the Quick Jack for about 3 weeks.

POST 11Original post

BE CAREFUL. There is a fellow RL�er in the 928 forum that had a QuickJack slip out sideways while raising a car.

POST 13Original post

If you have the base on a surface without enough friction, they can shift if they are not absolutely perpendicular to each other. It can get tricky because some people wrongly assume that the jack points in their car is perfectly aligned/centered and therefore they center the QJ�s based on that. For example, the forward jack points on my 987.2 Spyder are narrower in total width than the rear points. If you center the QJ�s in this setup, they will try to splay out as you raise them and this would potentially be exacerbated by a surface that has diminished friction (i.e. a cloth or mat to protect it). I occasionally use my QJ�s on top of the ramps of my 4-post lift, which is painted diamond tread metal. I am always super paranoid and careful when I�m doing this for the above reasons. I�m not saying the OP shouldn�t do what they are asking about, I just want them to be super careful when they do this.

Ah I can see that happening if not aligned, having tiles is easy to line up and keep square but man it sliding out would suck.
