I have been seriously looking at the KwikLift for my garage.Hell all. The things that drew me to the KwikLift were safety, the openess under the vehicle, and the fact that it really required no maintenance. The thing that prevented me from ordering the KwikLift was the price. It just seems a bit high and they are unwilling to deal or even extend their shipping sale by even a few days. In this economy, I can only assume they are satisfied with the volume of units they are selling. However, after seeing the info on the MaxJax, I thought this lift is the answer to my 9 foot garage ceiling height.
Upon looking at the setup info, I saw that there are different widths to set the posts up at depending on the size of the vehicle you are lifting. I guess my question is this, and may be best answered by Jeff, is there a setup width that would work for most vehicles? Do the lifting arms extend and retract far enough to cover a variety of widths. I currently service a F-150 Supercrew, Honda Odyssey, Saturn wagon, Ford Focus, and a Honda Civic. I really don't want to sink two or three sets of anchors into my garage floor.Īfter a lot of consideration, I pulled the trigger on an EZcarlift today. I had initially discounted the EZcarlift, but it is the best choice for me. I wanted the ease of storage, it is super safe, and it gives lots of free access under the vehicle since one of the cross bars is removable. The biggest reason I chose it over the Kwiklift was that I would not have to jack my vehicles up to remove the wheels. If I had purchased the Kwiklift, I would be back to square one with having to jack the vehicle up for brakes, tire rotation etc.
Same safety issues as the vehicle being jacked up on the floor except is it now 20" more in the air. The lifts all have their good points.the MaxJax was awfully tempting, but between the hydraulics, along with (for me) the setup and taking it down after use, the EZcarlift was a better choice. And like the Kwiklift, those that have the EZcarlift, swear by it. I should also mention that I spent a considerable amount of time on the phone with the owner and he really was extremely helpful. And he tells me that his unit reflects the cost of manufacturing it since it is produced in the US without the use of any off-shore manufacturing. I guess the welds are impressive on the unit.
