MaxJax TWO POST LIFT // Home Garage Installation

[@macdawg6403]

This has motivated me to FINALLY assemble mine. Its been in shipping package for 8months. Great Vid !!

[@JDCarsChannel]

Awesome! Glad to be of help!

[@ModMINI]

How did you last 8 months? Mine was up and running 2 days after it showed up in the mail!

[@nickleung6240]

Wow that's one hell of a great installation video. Fantastic job and thanks for sharing!

[@JDCarsChannel]

Thank you! I’m glad you appreciate the video!

[@ryanwolfe911]

So, I bought one of these for my home garage and here's my thoughts on it: If you're a professional mechanic like me, that's used to full height lifts, you will absolutely HATE this thing at times, however that's a moot point if you have a low ceiling height, you wouldn't be able to fit a full height lift in the first place. That being said, for what it is, it's great. A commercial lift it most certainly is not, but if you had at least 12 foot ceilings in your garage, I don't know why you'd ever buy one of these things. I Really do like the ability to remove the posts and store them, however I rarely do, most of the time they just stay in place.

[@JDCarsChannel]

I totally agree with you 100%. Spot on review.

[@lemmy999]

What would you recommend if you had 12 foot ceilings but still needed to unbolt at least one post and store out of the way?

[@ModMINI]

@@lemmy999 Does such a lift exist? Most 12 foot lifts are cable or chain load leveling types, something I think might almost be a requirement for a safe six foot lift. It is not easy to move one post of such a lift You might consider an in-floor scissor lift in that case. Takes up zero space when in use, but access to the center part of the vehicle is obviously limited (usually the lifting pads are about 30-36 inches apart)

[@TheStevedie]

Thank you for this input. I am NOT a mechanic, by any stretch. I only do work on my vehicles when I have to. I have built a shop for this and other things. I'm really a video game nerd...haha. But I love tools and tinkering from time to time. I've thought about installing a car lift in my shop. 18x30 (doubling it now...) gambrel style roof so I have the head room. I will just need to move the bottom chords up a foot or so so I have 12 ish feet of head room.

[@efrainirizarry5048]

My bye one those lift. I'm undecided yet but I have I'm getting close to be convinced to this video. Well see. Thanks your for your help to show your experience.😊

[@brandoexum3135]

You might want to check with MaxJax When I called the Tech dept. today I was told they do not use teflon tape but provide liquid teflon. Was also told you need have 4000 psi concrete with a minimum of 4 inches thick.

[@JDCarsChannel]

Thanks for the info!

[@bartbuckland6805]

I am looking into getting one of these jacks for the home shop. It'd be nice for doing brakes, rotating tires and general inspections under my cars and trucks. Looking at the mounting system, I will change how that works. I plan on cutting a 16" square out of the floor where the base mounts. I will dig that down 40 inches reinforce with #5 bar and pour concrete with L shaped anchor bolts embedded in the concrete. I believe that will be stronger than an expanding anchor into concrete.

[@JDCarsChannel]

That sounds like a very robust plan! I like the over-engineering.

[@chriss7644]

[@jake_spence]

I've been back and forth on getting this exact lift. I would love to see what it's like with your 3-series on there to get an idea of how much working room you have underneath!

[@chrisE815]

I just purchased a QuickJack but if I had a different garage space, I would definitely consider the MaxJack. One of the advantages of a two-post style lift is the ability to easily reach lift points on a variety of vehicles. With the QuickJack, it takes me a while to get it set up under the car I'm lifting. The advantage of the QuickJack is it's extremely portable, so I can place the QuickJack frames in different spots of the small garage I work out of, depending on what vehicle I work on. I will say that I don't have any regrets on buying the QuickJack- Any system that allows for more room under a low ground clearance vehicle and has an open center design is vast improvement over jackstands. Hope that helps

Hahaha glad you liked it man!

[@marshalllhiepler]

Love the fact that they call this the Max Jax, when it should have been named the Medium Jax. You'll comprehend this "almost fully" the first time you try to stand up under your vehicle.

[@JDCarsChannel]

Hahaha fair enough

[@joernone]

I've been wanting a residential garage lift and was leaning toward the MaxJax 2, but some users have left very bad reviews of it, in particular the supposedly cheap quick disconnect fittings leaking hydraulic fluid all the time, which required buyers to replace them with better quality fittings at their own expense. Also, it was reported that the system supposedly shutters a great deal when a car reaches the top and there were hydraulic cylinder failures. Lastly, very poor customer service , a repeated comment, had the most impact with me. To be fair, there were some very good comments as well, but for me the "terrible" customer service is currently the primary show-stopper.

[@johnaclark1]

I bought the MaxJax MX-6 (MaxJax 2) about a year ago and have had the issues you describe. However, a simple email to Danmar and some texts with some pictures and they resolved everything no questions asked. They even sent me a brand new cylinder to fix the shuddering I experienced when at the top of it's rise. I did purchase better flush-faced fittings that don't drip and have been very happy with the entire setup. I also mounted the power unit to the wall in the front of my garage as I got tired of the cart being in the way. I'd buy it again in a heartbeat. It's definitely the best mid-rise lift for a home garage on the market.

[@c-shepard]

[@JDCarsChannel]

You’re welcome! I hope you found it helpful

[@onsturn]

I enjoyed your video just finished installing the MaxJax M6. My concrete wasn’t thick enough but Dannmar offers repour instructions on their website. I’d suggest getting a post hole level and plumb both posts. Also cover the open exposed fitting at the bottom of the hydraulic ram while drilling to prevent concrete dust from entering. I’m now in the process of wall mounting the power unit and run the hoses up and over the ceiling. I’ll need to get longer hoses made at my local hydraulic company.

[@JDCarsChannel]

Awesome stuff, Mitch! I'm glad you found the video helpful. The wall mount idea sounds great... I thought you'd probably need longer hoses for that. Let me know if you find a cost effective solution.

[@fireyourrocketts]

Nice tutorial bud, but you were drilling in an angle afterwards, what matters is the installation was successful; how is it holding up after 5 years? I get mine on March 28 and also have a 20x20x8,7 garage

[@bsouza1675]

It is probably too late but did you plumb the columns before you torqued down the column anchor bolts? I’d recommend doing so and adding shims as needed to get the columns dead plumb before you lift a vehicle. This is a good vid with good pointers. Thank you ⭐️

[@KingCobra1968]

Good point. I installed and repaired above ground and in-ground lifts for 3 years. Plumbing the columns is a must. JD Cars, it's not too late if you didn't. You can loosen the anchor bolts and shim as necessary to achieve true plumb.

[@ModMINI]

@@KingCobra1968 This is an important point. If the columns are not plumb, it means the distance between lift pads is changing as you lift. This could pull the car off one of the pads.

[@AbrahamMusalem]

Notification squaaaad. I hate living in an apt, I need a house asap

[@JDCarsChannel]

[@arinehim]

Is there a good way to mark the center of the anchor pilot holes before you drill into the concrete?

[@WatchRichRebuildsChannel]

Thank you for the video.

[@JDCarsChannel]

Absolutely!

[@poppatello]

You can drill all the way through the floor. That’s how we install lifts. If someone were to ever remove the lift all they would have to do would be to drive the anchor through the floor.

[@JDCarsChannel]

Fair point!

[@CHIBA280CRV]

Fantastic job and video, it is very informative.. I was just wondering if you already new what the p.s.i of your concrete was along with the thickness or did you just installed it ? Thanks let me know i want to purchase one and install it myself..also can you tell me the height of your ceiling in inches , I measured my ceiling height and it’s only approximately 78 “ inches

[@JDCarsChannel]

Thanks! I did not know the psi of my concrete but it worked out okay. I believe my ceiling height was 80” or so but I’m not sure.

[@CHIBA280CRV]

JD Cars thank you for the information I will order one ,the newer model is self locking I believe..also I thought they said somewhere that the company went out of business ? Anyone knows if it’s true , is there someone else selling them or have taken over ?

[@CHIBA280CRV]

Awesome I got new model unit , and it looks great. Now I’m thinking i should just add new deeper footings with stronger psi concrete..

[@mattf3238]

How did you find out that your concrete was 3000psi or more so you could use this lift

[@JDCarsChannel]

I don't know for sure... but it is holding strong.

[@MBZS500]

Thats what i would like to know as well...

[@Elit3Jester]

JD Cars Chances are that you’re fine. Most slabs for residential construction are at least 25 MPa, or about 3600 psi. If someone were still unsure, they could get a local materials testing lab to drill a core and test its compressive strength.

[@Jay-sz5dt]

this is really cool !

[@JDCarsChannel]

Thank you!

[@Man_One]

Good install video

[@JDCarsChannel]

Thanks!

[@lemmy999]

Great video, thanks for making it. However I do have a couple of questions. At 3:37 you install the male to male on the end of the 2 fittings you have already installed. But the assembly manual says that male to male (hex nipple) should be installed between those two fittings you had already installed (straight expander and the 45 degree elbow). At 16:36 when you are installing the quick disconnect fittings, it looks like your fittings are rubbing up against the body of the post. Maybe if you put the male to male in the middle it might not do that. However it wouldn't surprise me for the manual to be wrong. I have found several errors in the MX6 manual.

[@JDCarsChannel]

Huh. That’s a good point. I hadn’t thought of that. The instructions are a little iffy.

[@ModMINI]

My M-6 manual shows the correct install order. (Moot though, as I replaced with a 90 degree elbow for line running up to the ceiling and wall mounted pump.

[@shanefrank3281]

@@ModMINI I will be doing the same thing. So did you come out then have a single 90 degree elbow or did you have two 45 degree fittings? I'm worried that on my M6 that if I put a 90 degree on there then the fittings won't go through the hole in the column when I install the cylinder, and of course adding the 90 degree elbow once the cylinder is in place would be difficult if possible at all.

[@ModMINI]

@@shanefrank3281 I used a single 90 elbow and was able to install with the piston installed in the column. I raised the lift until the carrier was held up by the safety stop, then lowered slightly to take weight off piston, and then lifted piston up slightly and put a chunk of whatever underneath the piston. This gave plenty of room to install the elbow. Here is a link to the elbow I used. amzn.to/30aovlk

[@shanefrank3281]

@@ModMINI Oh, I see that you used a swivel 90 degree. I was thinking of a non-swivel so that is why I was thinking it would be possible. I will try that instead. Thanks.

[@PeterRichardsandYoureNot]

Having the pump like that in the middle of work area with hoses is a prescription for accidents. Could you mount the pump on the outside lift back side and then run the hose up and over the top; mounted to the ceiling with a track to keep everything out of the way? Hose may be too short but I think getting new longer one wouldn’t be tough and it would certainly keep my ocd at clumsiness at bay.

[@JDCarsChannel]

Not a bad idea. I'm perfectly comfortable with the current setup.

[@ACommenterOnYouTube]

There is ALWAYS someone to complain about someone else's install ... Prescription for accidents huh..?? Only for those that don't pay attention...

[@ModMINI]

The pump cart is fine for people who do occasional work and actually store one of the poles when not in use. For people who keep their shops busier, mounting the pump on the wall or one of the columns is a must and is easily done for under $100 in hoses and fittings. The hoses can even be unequal lengths.

[@bird718]

awesome lift

[@JDCarsChannel]

Thank you!

[@Chris-lz7sx]

Did you put a 4 foot level on the actual post to determine where you will need spacers and not just putting spacers where you have gaps between bottom plate and concrete floor?

[@JDCarsChannel]

I don't recall to be honest, but leveling and adding spacers is definitely the way to go.

[@AZdroptop]

Well done!

How did the 115 inch spacing work out for all your vehicles? My lift is being delivered tomorrow. I want to use it for Acura MDX, Audi A4, Mid size truck, and Jeep CJ.

[@dennisassaf5678]

Can you tell me the distance between the posts? I somehow missed that. Please tell me about the inside distance from plate to plate. Thanks

[@mx5reddwarf]

He stated he went with 115 inches but it is not clear between which points he was measuring. Perhaps JD Cars could clarify?? It looked like it was from inside of plate to inside of plate not from the rear of the plate which is how MaxJax (Bendpak) states to measure (105 to 135 from rear of plate to rear of plate in their instructions). One installer went with 105 but between the inside of the plates.

[@simple8818]

My Lexus is about 72" wide. Subtracting that from minimum recommended distance between pols of 105" you are left with 33". Which is about 16.5" on each side for the car doors. You can pull the car inside the MaxJax slightly toward the passenger side so you'll have more room to exit from driver side. Open the car door to see what distance you are comfortable getting out of the car. It would be ideal to leave 120" between the pols.

[@tonyjcool5314]

Thanks. good details

[@Chris-lz7sx]

They should have supplied you with split lock washers not just round washers. Split lock washers ensure that the bolts will not unscrew when unit is vibrated.

[@JDCarsChannel]

Not sure if they supplied them but have never had a bolt vibrate loose.

[@JHZR2]

Those columns don’t seem too heavy. How much do they weigh? Are they easy to move?

[@JDCarsChannel]

Not terribly heavy. Maybe 300 lbs. a piece-- not entirely sure. The wheels make them quite easy to move around the garage.

[@JDCarsChannel]

[@PANTYEATR1]

[@JDCarsChannel]

Because of my garage door opener my useable height is only 7’ 10” and I’m perfectly happy. Go for it man!

[@wrightrestorations.5190]

How would I go about testing that my concrete slab is up to the job? I understand thickness test, but what about 3000psi test?

[@JDCarsChannel]

That I couldn't tell you. I'm not even sure of my concrete's psi ratings to be honest.

[@johnbaker9647]

Concrete is measured in Newtons can be measured by pulse meter !

[@Mike335is]

Bro when are you gonna get a 335i

[@JDCarsChannel]

Hopefully soon

[@ScreamingEagleFTW]

how can you know for sure if your slab is at least 4" thick and 3000psi?

[@JDCarsChannel]

Drilling a small test hole and measuring on the drill bit is a good way to check depth. In terms of checking concrete psi... the process is challenging. I would consult a professional to confirm strength.

[@mikeetastic]

How thick is your concrete? Will this work on a 4inch slab?

[@CHIBA280CRV]

I believe it should be 4 inch minimum and a minimum of 3000 psi concrete.. I will just upgrade the footings to 4 pr 5 thousand psi..

[@JDCarsChannel]

6,000lbs. It should be able to lift your F250.

[@Lucky4zo]

JD Cars awesome thanks!

[@jmerodgers]

I don't think you will be able to lift a f250 with this. The fact that it is 6000lbs means its actually rated about 3000lbs front and rear (3000 x 2 = 6000) . Unfortunately pickup trucks have more weight in the front end than in the back (engine, tranny, transfer case) I'm not sure what your F250 weighs but my old f150 weighed about 6600lbs. Most of that weight is in the front say 60% or 4000lbs, you would be over 1000lbs on the front two arms. I'd say that's a recipe for disaster.

[@Dr_Mike2]

The sticker in my Dodge ram 2500 says 9000#. I wouldn't risk it. Also ceiling height comes into play. Look for a heavier duty lift if you have the room, or try a Quick Jack with the truck adaptors.

[@roncleaver]

Nice lift! Sorry to nit-pick. Try using the adjustable wrench with the solid jaw to take the torque load when tightening and loosening bolts/nuts. Why, the solid side is stronger with contact points to take heavier loads than the adjustable side’s mechanism.

That rotary hammer is an overkill for 7/8" holes. Even the cheap Harbor Freight 1-9/16" rotory hammer is more than enough and paid for itself in two or three rental cycles. Don't expect HF to last more than a few years with moderate use, otherwise get a cordless Milwaukee. The garage concrete out here is not more than 3.5" thick, the thickness of a 2x4 stud they use as forms. Some old houses even thinner, one with not more than 2" thick, need to check and pour a new footing if need to. Nice install, very detailed.

I got 2 of the HF rotary hammer drills and both had chucks that wobbled like crazy. It was the 1-1/8 one that is about $95. So I have taken them back and will rent a good one instead.

Nice video, but why....WHY...the cheesy music?? The best videos of this type are without the music. We don't care about the music, just what you are doing in the video.

thanks for that..

Glad to help

FFS dude use the damn level, those shims are there to help you level the damn thing and not just to fill the gaps under the base plates and lastly you are supposed to measure and square of the bay door and not the wall since the walls are never perfectly straight and you might end up having to drive the can into the garage on a slight angle.

hello JD thank you for the detailed video of the installation. I just got mine installed and noticed my post tilting slightly upon lifting a car. are you experiencing any similarity on your lift? here is a video that i uploaded. any comments would be appreciated. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y4XaaYFrj9ini5I

I personally do not recommend a 2 post lift. They can be deadly if there is a weight offset. I hope you will alwasy

[@JDCarsChannel]

Anything can be deadly... it's just a question of what's safer. This is safer than a jack and jack stands.

Was excited about this video, then we had to look at some crap bmw at the beginning... bounce

Full of BS

How did you know the thickness of your garage floor and if it was adequate for the lift?

[@JDCarsChannel]

I drilled a test hole with a small concrete bit

@@JDCarsChannel How did you know it was 3000 psi? I purchased a Schmidt Hammer and it said mine was over 5000 psi which I didn't believe. So I sent Schimdt Hammer back.
