Very crucial to have reinforced concrete at a specific depth, to include re- rod in the area, where the base plates set & then anchored.
Another words, in most pre existing garage floors, the floor would need to be cut out in the column base area, footing dug, re-inforced concrete, to include re-rod added.
I believe you would be fine then.

The way I custom configured mine, it only takes 10 minutes both ways. I added casters and built some custom "stackers" out of powder-coated aluminum. Takes 10-minutes by myself since it does not require a "complete" tear-down.

Safety Car
that was my reason. i have had a quiwk lift for about 5 years now and wouldn't be without it. it is convenient, easy to use, removable if you wish to store it against the wall. completely manual without the need for power access, etc, and unless you are from the "portly" school, it is very easy to work under. it's better and provides more access than a scissor "lift", and there aren't loads of reasonably priced options when you don't have the ceiling clearance.

I've recently stumbled on this guy. It's getting great reviews and it's portable. Even Costco sells it now.

True the Max Jax can be rolled into a corner or where ever, when not in use....But The Max Jax requires 7/8" diameter x 4" drop in screwed anchor bolts, into the concrete floor, before lifting.
Concrete requirements are (Minimum) 2500-3000psi 4" thick concrete, not 3" or 3-1/2".

Love mine - goes just fine into a 4" slab most halfway-recent homes should have. I even bought extra anchors and dropped them in so I can have two different widths to handle more vehicle types.

Just sent another email. Got this response:
"Due to drastically reduced sales over the past two to three years and rising fabrication cost we can no longer sustain. We have been unable to secure financing for continuation. Effective February 27, 2012 we are forced to close business. All future correspondence should be sent to Kwiklift, Po Box 2952, Broken arrow, OK 74013"
Bummer...

A friend ordered another center-lift bridge from them months ago. They didn't charge his card or anything, saying they would do that when it was ready to ship. A couple weeks ago they charged him, but nothing has been delivered, they can't be contacted by phone or email, and no tracking number/etc had been provided.
Anyone else in that boat?

Anyone have them charge your credit card after this date?

I will comment that these guys ran a shady business. And its a shame because I think Kwiklift was a great product as I own one myself and love it. About a year ago, I ordered from them a mobile drain pain. They never once answered their phone... I wanted to get more information before purchasing as the website had limited information. I ended up ordering it anyway and found the product lacking. I did manage to get a hold of them via email and arrangements were made to ship it back. A month later, I got my credit card statement and noticed they never issued credit to my credit card. I contacted them via email (again, they never answered their phone) and the issue was taken care of. Any reputable company issues credit to card immediately once they have received your returned item and verified that it is in the same condition it was in as when it was sent. No surprise they folded.

His center-lift bridge arrived. They never sent any notice it shipped, and it took almost a month to arrive after the charge posting. But at least they only charged him because they delivered on the product. FYI to anyone else that had an outstanding order and recently got charged for it. It may be on the way.

Folks,
I have a barely used one that I am going to be getting rid of in 2 weeks when we move. Great unit but since I am putting double 4 poster lifts in the new garrage (so I can stack cars), I dont have a use for it anymore. It is located outside of Greensboro and I would let it go with the jack tray for 1k. Pretty much brand new condition and it is the big one.
Thanks,
Clint
