I mostly wanted it for the portability, when the lift is not being used I have the entire floor to work in.
Leading evidence: 'Use i have the entire floor' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion).

Can't entirely tell from your pic - looks like you're using 2 bridge jacks?

I'm thinking I could use 4 small bottle jacks at each corner, but that'd be too slow & tedious.

Definitely use a concrete anchor epoxy with the anchor bolts.

Ended up with 4 because it would allow me to store another car in the garage and used less room 'side to side'.
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.

Anyone have any experience with this product? Looks pretty interesting, but want some real world feedback. This should suit my needs since I cannot install a full size 2-post or 4-post lift

this thread
here on RL
pretty slick and compact.
looks slow, but its not likely you will be using it everyday.
I would be a little concerned about how well the ancors are secured into the floor...if those fail it would be BAD.
didnt see the cost.. did you?
Have not shopped it that hard yet, but
asedeals has it for $2200
"Anchor Bolt Stress Analysis" data on anchors is at their site
Biggest draws for me are
portable
doesn't go so high as to pose a problem
only require ~4" of concrete
gets me off my back when doing work
He's even working on a C4S!
I watched the vid.....(naturally)...
its pretty nice that its portable and short. Both would be a big issue if I was in the market.
I think a regular 4 post lift installed is quite a bit less. Redridge has one, you might check if they have optional "shorter" lifts....
or just go over to Dell's
I have, and it looks like to me the access on 2 post is better.
I considered the scissor route, but then I worried about being able to drive over it all the time.
I've owned a 4 poster for 3 years now and thank the day my wife asked me why I didn't have a lift? I figured it was an approval. I had to decide on 4 or 2 posts. Ended up with 4 because it would allow me to store another car in the garage and used less room 'side to side'.
REALLY enjoy using it on maintenance and restorations. But I still wish at times I had a 2 post lift when I'm working on suspension items or want more accessablility. The ability of the lift to be 'moveable' is interesting but would take about 20-30 minutes to just to set up. Not sure if that would be too big of a pain. Thinking about it.
Would be interesting to see/try the lift in person to observe the strength.
Wouldn't want a day like this. (yes I know it wasn't the lift's fault- but they did sell the car 'as-is' on eBay)
No no no not that color!
A lot of the military do it yourself auto care centers have these sorts of lifts installed. I'm an at least 2 or 3 trips around the car lining the lift up then after slight contact double checking and backing off if I see anything questionable. I advise taking your time and breaking stuck lug nut torques before raising. One aspect I remember when driving between this sort of lift at a self care location is you might be adjusting the position of the car forward and back till in the sweet spot for lifting. If you are doing more than one car with this lift maybe have moveable chalks for near spot on parking before lift.
what people fail to relize is that the car is rear engine is and must be loaded the oppisite way, that why it fell off. i have seen a few people load their cars (porsche 911) with 2 post lifts and not fall off, but push on the car the wrong way and the same can happen. all the weight must go toward the shorter arms if you have asymetrial lift.
be carefull
I have just unloaded this lift from the delivery truck (maxjax), I will let you know how it is once it is installed. I mostly wanted it for the portability, when the lift is not being used I have the entire floor to work in.
I just leave my maxjax bolted down. It's never really gotten in the way since I only have a car in the garage to work on it, I do detach the far side hydraulic line and roll it up. Definitely use a concrete anchor epoxy with the anchor bolts.

I ordered the MaxJax last week. Dannmar is expecting a shipment (probably from China) the second week of April. The acct. rep. that sold me the unit says it will ship soon thereafter. Demand for these have been high. Here's the contact and the price.
$1999 shipped + $135 for liftgate service (residential)

The primary reason I purchased MaxJax over BendPak is for the mobility. I may only be in this house for another year or so. When the time comes to move, I can take the jack w/ me, or offer to sell it to the new owner. Plus... having a 3 car garage (1 is for the kid's toys, my workshop, etc.) and 2 cars, having a permanent lift wouldn't allow for my 2nd car to be parked in the garage. The lift height isn't that great, but with a low garage ceiling, it'll be just the ticket!
Doug996InkC, Thanks for sharing your info. I too am considering this unit. What's the warranty? This is my second choice because it's local to me.

This is one I have been thinking about for some time. I still worry about the Porsche being back heavy though and the lift tipping. What a dream to have a normal 4 post lift! would be sweet!
Per the website...
http://www.dannmar.com/warranty.asp
Dannmar offers a one-year warranty on all product parts, and three year's warranty on product structure. Labor is not included in warranty.
+1.... you can def tip this car if you are not careful, that engine is hanging behind the rear wheels. At times I def can feel the front end gets very light and have to raise the rear higher to try to give the front a bit more weight.
If you have the height in your garage, go with the 4 post.... turns your 2 bay into a 3 bay.... priceless in the winter.
Redridge, I've been debating lift choices for a while now...want a 4 post to be able to store in winter but haven't really seen a 4-corner wheels-off method which didn't involve 2 pretty expensive bridge jacks to be able to lift by the approved front & rear lift points.
Can't entirely tell from your pic - looks like you're using 2 bridge jacks? I'm thinking I could use 4 small bottle jacks at each corner, but that'd be too slow & tedious.
