Leading evidence: 'Install these since' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Check with some local concrete companies' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

Every time I use time, I think that it was money well spent!
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.

Finished up installing Danmar's MaxJax in my home garage over the weekend. Here are some photos. A few observations/impressions:
1. The manual states 7 qts of Dextron III ATF. After the lift is raised and the air is bleed, the pump reservoir requires 8 qts to reach its maximum lifting height.
2. Highly recommend renting a Makita hammer drill and a 7/8" masonary bit from Home Depot. It cuts through concrete like butter.
3. It's a strong and stable lift. The portability factor is an advantage. Did not experience any leaks
Thanks to Jim B. (member 15psi) and my brother-in-law Ed and my father for their assistance. To any Kansas City area members, give me a shout if you'd like to use it... for small jobs.
A 2 post lift (even if it goes 1/2 height like the MaxJax) is the cat's meow. Every time I use time, I think that it was money well spent!
Anyone in my area is welcome to use it they need... especially for oil changes, because I can use the used oil in my waste oil furnace in the winter!
Nice mod Doug! definitely makes the Pcar maintenance a lot more convenient. and like Van stated, a good barter in order to collect used engine oil for a furnace...
Good idea Rick. Wish I would have thought of that. The anchors sleeves were a true 4". I drilled a little too deep on a few of them, and as a result, hit gravel. At least there are 5 anchors per column.
Hey Jim, good thing I moved that driver's side column out further. There's only 1/2" clearance between the piston and garage door opener! Got lucky.
Cost was $2000 from Garage Equipment Supply. $130 for lift-gate service -- half of which was reimbursed since I practically unloaded it off the trunk myself.
I don't know about luck, how many times did we measure, and then discuss? and then measure again & discuss?
Gotta come by and see finished project!
What's your estimated time to either 'setup' or 'remove & store'?
Noted. Thx. (I changed my original post to reference "column".)
As far as tear-down and storing, I don't plan to find out until winter time approaches the midwest.
I can't see the pics anymore either. Many of use have installed these since then. They are available in the states from Coasto for ~$1900

Sorry to revive an aging thread, but I'm considering installing a MaxJax in my garage. How do you know what the compressive strength is of your garage floor? I know it's supposed to be 3000 psi per Dannmar's specs. Same with the thickness of the concrete, how can you tell?
Thanks, gents. Happy New Year!
Maybe there is a local code your floor was poured to? Or check with some local concrete companies for their standard pour around the time you place was built. Also if the spec calls for 3000PSI, wouldn't a 12 x 12 inch section be able to hold 144 x 3000? So if the lift weighs 1000 and the car 3000 I'd guess something less than 3000PSI would be ok.
