(they’re the same company).
This is the 5000SLX, so was £1335 delivered. It’s hydraulic, the pump is driven from a 12v supply - I just use a 12v jump starter which works well.
It’s reasonably portable as well, I was at a track day a few weeks ago and someone had one there.
You do need to provide the hydraulic fluid, needs about 2.5l, I just got some Comma stuff off Amazon

I absolutely wouldn't trust that over axle stands, not a chance would I be getting under there without axle stands which negates the whole original point for me.

Surely the whole idea is to do away with jacking each corner individually and not to do away with axle stands?
Costco have these in stock for around £700, cant remember if thats with or without vat
If you have the space and paying £1200+ I woukd be going for a proper scissor lift

Presumably it locks to negate the use of axle stands.
Pretty expensive for what it is tho you can get two post lifts for that much.

Have a watch here as they overload the quickjacks and they hold up well. Not sure about how well they stand up to lateral movement like trying to pull out a driveshaft or something like that.
They are on offer occasionally. Buying some when I can afford to.

Impressive but f**k me that music was annoying
Nothing is infallible I guess. What's the locking mechanism on them?

Ive wanted one of these for a while but thats a high price. Ive got a real problem working under cars on axle stands.

Why? I'd much prefer stands to a lift like this.
If you're that worried, get more stands and stick them under. I'm always mega cautious so put more stands under than is needed.

I do get it though. I once had a car slip slightly years ago when I was using a crappy small jack and that was enough to s**t me up. The next day I went out and bought a 3 ton Sealey jack.
I'm not even gonna bother getting a new pair of trolley jacks, might just get a lift like the above and save myself some hassle!
Already told my mrs the garage at the new house is getting flattened and a 24ft one is getting built with a single phase 2 poster

Im trying to convince the wife that a garage rebuild is necessary for our current extension
I saw these being demonstrated at Autosport a couple of years ago. They seem nice bits of kit.
Yeah I've told mine I'm having a 24ft garage with a lift. I can build one with my old man and grandad, my dad extended his into an L shapeIm trying to convince the wife that a garage rebuild is necessary for our current extension
