Another way of lifting your car: Autolift 3000
Anybody used the Autolift 3000? Whats-it like?

This is the first I've seen of this system. While I find it interesting, I'm not sure I'm ready to get under a car at a 45 degree angle with this system free setting on a floor... Just me.

I'm happier with the Quickjack I used for first time this weekend

That quick jack looks pretty nice

Porsche 928 S4 lifted by Quickjack BL-5000SLX - YouTube So is the max height ground to frame 21"? That's about what I can get with Porken lift bars and blocks. Quick jack looks like less trouble, but much more expense for the same lift height. The solution I would be looking for is one in which I get at least 6 inches more lift. |
Interesting idea... wonder how much it goes for. Any guesses?

The solution I would be looking for is one in which I get at least 6 inches more lift. For me the QuickJack is very convenient as even if I had liftbars, it would be very tight and maybe impossible to use them safely. When using a trolley jack on that tight side I need to lift at a very oblique angle to the car on the front left hand lift point. So this solution is less fuss, lets me store the ramps under car (though same could be said of liftbars I suppose), and cost-wise I would need to import liftbars to UK so shipping could be a big item! The Quickjack now has UK distributor (Liftmaster), so they import in bulk and offer "free" delivery in UK (though UK price is probably higher than US - it's too depressing for me to check!) |

The Autolift looks interesting. It can tilt, so there must be some sort of pin system to hold the lifting pads at the correct angle. I'd really like to see that part of the design, but there are no good pics on the site. |
Still need stands with any of them for me to get under it. That autolift in particular.

What about the "Velocity Lift"
For those with quick hands... https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/rennlis...678bb587ae.png |
Kidding aside, there is no more secure device than two or four post lifts or a solid set of jack stands and some low profile jacks.
Wrenching under a car remains an "athletic activity" with a small dose of "contortionist" thrown in. ;-) |

I've used Ken's liftbars with the big orange jackstands from Harbor Freight for years now, and nothing is blocked underneath from being worked on. I can slide under the car without being blocked from the front, rear, and sides, as well as have lots of room underneath.
With those lifts, it looks like access is non-existent from the sides, and appears that access to the mid-underside is blocked, but I could be wrong on the last point. |
