Safety wise I would never have put the controls in such a tight spot. If this lift where to fail or the vehicle becomes unbalanced one could be pinned between the vehicle and the wall. This would likely prove to be fatal. Since you were running longer hose to one side anyway, I would have put the pump and controls on the rear wall where you could more easily escape if a car starts to fall. This would also give you more equal hose lengths. I have two four post lifts and the controls are at a corner where one can easily escape in case of failure. It is much more rare for a car to fall of a four post lift, but I have seen dozens of videos of cars falling off of two post lifts. If you watch those videos you would not ever think of being so trapped when lifting a vehicle.

I've worked with anchors in concrete for over 55 years. The wedge anchors included by the equipment manufacturer are only as good as the concrete their being set into. Most residential garage floors are at best is 3,000 psi concrete, most likely less and 4" thick, maybe and just maybe they added re-enforcing wire. The concrete is the weak link in the whole system. Anchors should be spread out no closer than 6" a part, which the manufacturer did. I'm sure in the instructions they had a disclaimer regarding the concrete integrity to cover themselves. Before you buy this product check the depth of your floor and how hard it is to drill. The safest thing to do is cut a 4ft by 4ft opening under each post and place 4ft deep steel re-enforced deadman dowelled into the existing concrete. Remember, concrete is very strong in compression but very weak in tension "pull". This lift system puts the concrete in tension.

ive had this lift for almost 2.5 years now and it is single-handedly one of the best things i've ever bought for my garage. Also side note for everyone with this lift, get a heavy duty grease or a paste type white lithium (not the spray type) and apply it in each of the lift posts on the inside channels. The instructions are honestly super unclear and after a while, the lift becomes very shakey and rough without lubing those inner points up. It is not like a traditional lift and I would recommend doing it at least once a year where you wipe down as much of the old grease and apply new grease. Also, make sure to always put on the locks and check the hydraulics every now and then to make sure they aren't leaking.

Bought my MaxJax almost 4 years ago. Love it. Don't worry about not raising up perfectly level. Mine never has. I did set the anchors in two positions. Highly recommend anchoring adhesive. I am surprised that you didn't hit any rebar. I used 1/2" rebar 16" on center when building. Made sense before having to drill for the anchors. 🤯

I have the previous version of the MaxJack and love it. Don't really miss the higher lift possible with the higher lifts. Purchased a low rolling chair to perform work under the car. Used the MaxJack when I changed the transmission on my Mercedes 500SL and when I was restoring my '80 Corvette. I also was able to install a side mount garage door opener and highly recommend one if you have the capability. It also picks up my Chevy Tahoe and '86 Mercedes 300SDL with ease

A comment or two.... the rear bolts in the floor are in tension not compression. There are no front bolts as the base plate is compressed against the floor underneath hence developing the moment resistance coupling to resist the moment for the load on the lift arms. Therefore the strength of the lift posts for rotating towards the car depends greatly on the tensile bolts strength but more so on the tensile strength of the concrete. Does not matter how big are the anchor bolts, the concrete tensile resistance governs the ultimate strength. The anchor in the concrete engages an imaginary cone in the concrete when subjected to pull forces and resist the pullout by shear friction in the concrete. The thicker the concrete the higher the shear resistance. The cone developed under the pull forces (tension) must not be interrupted by a crack in concrete nor by the concrete edge. Your anchors for the post against the wall may be too close to the edge and therefore may not develop the full pullout force resistance, from the video they appear to bee about 3" away or so. If your garage slab was poured after the walls were built, floating floor, you may have to check the edge distance. If the floor was poured over the foundation walls prior to the walls above being constructed you may be OK. MaxJax manual should have a minimum edge distance specified. (also check a video of a guy with a failed anchors) I have the same lift but older model with a safety bar that you push through the holes in the posts to act as a safety. I also installed levels (for leveling the fence posts) which I can check to see if the posts are plumb in both directions front to back and left to right when I lift the load, every time. There will be some movement on the posts (bubble in the level moves but stay within the plumb area) due to the load acting on the arms and creating the moment (torque) on the arms that are transferred to the posts. The posts must be installed vertically with no load. Due to the garage floor slope you may need to shim the posts bases to bring them to a vertical position. Good luck.

I have the old Danmar MaxJax. Except for keeping the lifting equal it’s been great. I lift my 2012 Silverado crew cab. Another option for not unbolting the driver side post, take the arms off and hang on the wall. The arms get in the way more than the post.

I killed a couple of cheap hammer drills before I broke down and rented and real rotary hammer and did it in minutes. As you know, the right drill made it a lot easier. The garage looks fantastic. Having a lift at home for doing body work is something I wish I'd done ages ago. Saves the knees and back a lot of pain. On single garage doors like that you can move the opener over to the side and the door will still function normal. Congrats on the new lift

In the case of a garage installation in a "home" where the concrete is generally less than 4" thick, I'd worry. I measured 2.5 inches in some spots when I cut the floor and elsewhere it was always less than 4" thick. If you are pouring a new floor, make sure it is at least 6" thick or better still, 8". The MaxJax Manual calls for 4" and 4.25" minimum (which is it MaxJax?) and tells you to drill 5.5" deep into concrete. The Wej-It anchor manual calls for a 5 inch deep hole for the PD-58 anchor. I skipped all of that and did my own installation that is now going on over 10 years...and I am still here. LOL

You could’ve just bought a couple of car ramps the type the dealers use in front of their dealerships and get the same height for a fraction of the cost and aggravation of the installation plus they’re fully portable easily movable by one person. And they never fail and there’s no maintenance or oil leak to deal with.

Very slick! Great video man. I'm envious of both the two-car garage AND the lift. Couple observations: You can't do this as it appears your garage doors are butted right against the side walls, but for those with the extra width, wall-mounted door openers are a great option to get more overhead lifting space. Also, ideally it's good to know where your car's center of gravity is to adjust the front and rear lifters so that your weight distribution is 50/50. Might also be a good idea to get height extended jack stands for each end, just to be extra safe.

There is a joke in that intro... How many painters does it take to open a MaxJax crate? Too many! That thing is packed like it's a nuclear warhead. Good to see they take their shipping protection serious. Congrats on the lift. Once you start using it you will become a prima donna never wanting to lie on the garage floor again. It only took me 2 days to become one and now I complain if I have to get on the floor. It is not pretty. A couple of points based on my experience with my Bendpak. The round pads get damaged quickly with the pinch weld lift points. I made some pinch weld standoffs matching a spare tire jack. If you want any info let me know. They work well. For the down position arm free movement, you can double sided tape spacers under where the pins touch so they all release when fully down so you do not need to lift the release pin. It looks like you have some attic space to change the garage door tracks to angle up and reposition the opener to get more height. I know that is a lot of work cutting out a section of the ceiling for the door/tracks, but it will allow you to utilize the full lifting height capacity.

Very nice. I’d worry about the amount of leverage on those bolts. I’d prefer a wider foot print and/or the pillar extending to the ceiling to be secured into ceiling beams. Both of those of course effect portability but safety first. Ignoring that, if you want more lift height, look at 1) high lift conversion on that end door and 2) jack shaft door opener. You can get another foot or more of overhead range. As long as you don’t open the door, you don’t need the high lift door but your torsion bar at present likely doesn’t have the space for a jackshaft opener on either side. You’ll probably be ok for opener space after doing a high lift conversion.

If using one where you don't trust the concrete remember steel beam harvested by demolition companies is easy to find. I welded a (large) H from heavy beam to support m full size two post lift outdoors on earth. That way the posts cannot tip inwards because the supporting H base ties them together. You can pour concrete around the frame or dig a H-shaped trench with a trenching shovel (trenching shovels are wonderful) to set it into the ground. On soft ground consider railroad gravel as a base that doesn't crush below the H-frame. If you don't weld remember heavy bolting is used by ironworkers every day for heavier loads.

So you release the locks and then show off the chair and then roll around under the unlocked vehicle. Not too safe?

I have a bend pack mid rise scissor lift in my home garage and in my opinion it works better for doing body work on there is no posts to deal with and it's completely movable if you wanted but honestly it's not in the way so it stays where it is for the most part and there is no bolting and unbolting to move it way better lift for body work and lifts it just as high if not higher then the max jack

Are both your hydraulic lines the same length? I’m about to wall mount mine and used the two lines that came with the lift for one side and got a 25’ line made for the other side. Just hoping and wondered if I’ll have any issues after bleeding the system.

Both bleed fine. One is double the size. But since I have it going into the ceiling, the lift doesn’t come down unless it has weight on it

@@PaintSociety gotcha. I will see what happens once I get it all hooked up. Hopefully a few feet a difference doesn’t change much besides adding more fluid. Thank you for the response 👍🏼

How thick is your garage floor? What is the recommended thickness? In my FL. County, this would require a permit and inspection. The previous owner of my house installed an RV carport in the backyard. This would be an excellent addition as I only have a small SUV.

How thick was the cement floor of the garage? I imagine installing a car lift the floor cement must be much thicker than normal to safely use the jack.

On the problem with the one side not going all the way down and you needing to lift up on the catch to move the arms; epoxy a small block of wood the correct height to engage each pin and now when the lift is down the block will push up the pin and you can move the arm. Small 2X4" blocks and 1X4" blocks about 6 or 7" long can be inserted on top of your lift pad to keep the lift arm away from the rocker panels.

Nice u should try the wall mount garage door opener so you can get the most height out of your lift. They are very nice an they are not bad on the pocketbook. Hope u check one out.
