Default Costco is selling the Dannmar MaxJax 2-Post Portable Auto Lift

Just an FYI for any Costco members out there.

I got the link to this in my email Costo flyer. The price is $1,899.99 and S&H is included in the price.

Dannmar MaxJax™ 2-Post Portable Auto Lift
6,000 lbs. Lifting Capacity, Industrial Grade Hydraulic Cylinders, Fully Adjustable Lift Arms

http://www.costco.com/Browse/Product...DannmarMaxJax#

I found it interesting primarily due to the fact that they have a 996 in the sample pics.

Doh! I paid $2100, delivered, 3 months ago from Garage Equip Supply! Hate when I see threads like this. That $200 savings would pay for a few qts of oil!

the only problem is that its max height is 52" with 3" lift adapters.

thats a pretty awkward crouching height, and i don't think working in a chair is likely for me.

Great find Tom...... I'm thinking of putting one of these in specifically....the four post for storage....anyone have one, bought one from costco, and how much goes in to having to raise the rails in your garage...... http://www.costco.com/Browse/Product...133&lang=en-US

Looks great, I like the fact that it can be moved out of the way when not needed.

I can't find the requirements for the concrete slab anywhere. Is 6" thick with #10 rebar adequate?

I do not know the spec on the one you posted but mine is very similar. My garage is 13' ceilings and I paid something like $600 to have the local garage door company replace the rails and beefier springs to take the door to the highest location. You need to add bigger springs since the door will be too much for the springs that are probably on your door right now.

Costco's return policy makes this one an easy test , get it, install it, 30 days to play with it, like it keep it, otherwise take it back... I'm just trying to convince myself that I need it,
