Does anyone owns one of these QuickJack, any thoughts?
#2
I do own one, but I have not had a chance to use it yet. I am in Chicago and it has finally gotten warm enough to assemble it. I did take it out of the box and it seems very well built. All of the reviews I have read on it seem positive. I looked at other similar options and have formerly owned a 4 Post Garage Lift. I chose the Quickjack based on what I perceived was ease of use, small area required for storage, ability to access the suspension and other parts when raised, and the price. Look around the internet you can find all sorts of reviews and videos. I got mine at a discounted price for the longer version based on a coupon code I found on line. I think it saved me $150.00 Good luck.

Looks pretty cool. I have a friend who is big into DIY, he owns a 928 (I think DIY comes with ownership of his car). He wanted a lift but really doesn't have the height. Thanks for the find.

Yes I bought one for my 996 and used it several times. Works well, and you can push it aside or store it when you don't need it. Note you will need the "XL" model so that the jack pad points will match up with the lift points on a 911.
Only issue is the cheap hydraulic hoses that it comes with. One had a bad crimp so I went to the hydraulic hose guy and had two nice Gates (USA!) hoses made up.

Sorry to take so long to notice the question. I have the 5000 LX version which is suitable for my 911.
I have had my 944 Turbo on it and a 1992 Corolla I was working on for about a week. GREAT ITEM.
Glad it bought it. A little bit of a pain to move around a tight garage when the ramps are vertical for storage. But really works like a champ. I used to have a 4-Post lift which was cool, but makes it really difficult to work on the car. This thing is really easy to work with, and easy to set up and take down quickly. I recommend it.

I love mine. I have the SLX5000 version and use it all the time. Right now, Costco is offering it for 300 bucks off with free S and H. You won't regret getting one of these.

I have no doubt that a 3500 would work on your 991. If you buy the lift just for your 991, it would work great, however, it might not handle heavier vehicles in your fleet. I have the 5000SLX version, and it works for my 991, my Prerunner Tacoma, and my Dad's Tundra. I think it is a great lift solution, btw.

Got my 5000SLX last week. Works great on my 991.1! A little overkill for what I need, but that has never stopped me before
I ordered it online from Costco for $1099. You might be able to find it at your local Costco cheaper.

There is a list in another concurrent thread that lists the Costco that stock it. Apparently only 16 in the country, mostly in CA. I had to mail order after none of my four local stores carried it in stock.

FYI, when I spoke with the Quickjack vendor staff at Rennsport, they recommended the 5000SLX (not the extended version), but assured me the 7000SLX would work fine with the 991 (and handle my 3/4 ton truck).

I have the 5000 SLX. 12vdc. I used a small hand held jump pack and lifted my super heavy Toyota Tacoma 4x4 off-road xtra cab 8 times in a row with it with no issues. I love the thing. I wish I would have bought it a long time ago. Couple things I noticed is
1. It is a little heavy but easily managed. The7k one would be really heavy
2. The 12vdc is faster than the 110version.
