Got my QuickJacks.

[BC1]

It is a challenge to get a vehicle up onto a set of Rhino ramps on a smooth garage floor. In other words, the vehicle will push the ramps ahead of it instead of driving up on them. If you are feeling really dangerous you could drive up them quickly but risk a ramp shooting out from under the front of the car. If you are lucky and get to the top and hit the brakes, the whole vehicle and ramps will slide forward and skid to a stop. I use Rhino ramps now but only on the poured rough concrete driveway.

Put an old towel under the ramps if you want them to stay put.

What quick jacks did you get? man these look like a game changer vs luging out that floor jack

I ordered the 8000TL they sent the 8000TLX. I will have to send them back. I just noticed it this morning. It won't fit the Corvette. I checked my receipt and I did in fact order the 8000TL.

Scratch my last. I can use the 8000TLX on the Corvette. I can just slide them in side ways. I just checked, bunch of C6 folks use them that way because the rest of the their cars are longer. So even better as I have the longs ones for the trucks and Caprice. QuickJack (Bendpak) says it is ok too.

Found a bunch like this on the web. Found this one on the Corvette Forum. I am good with it.

I am starting to think it was blessing as the I don't think the other ones would have worked well for the Caprice. It is a big car.

Does Bendpak say that? I wanted to try that on my E70, which was just a hair too long to fit my 5000TL with the extensions, but never tried it. (Also the E70 was right around 5,000lbs so I thought it would probably be wise not to)

They are heavy for a reason:

What model do you have? It seems to lift your Sequoia quite high.

 

[fdcg27]

Nice and not horribly expensive.
Would be a real convenience as opposed to ramps or jackstands and probably safer as well.

They were an easy setup and I find them easy to use. They give plenty of clearance. My only complaint is they are a little heavy to position, but not a deal breaker. These ones will lift the trucks. I like them better than using a jack. For me it is a game changer for doing the work i do.

Do they have a locking pin or safety to keep them from dropping the vehicle?

Yes, you can lock them in place. If you want you can then disconnect the hydraulic hoses for long-term use.

Like bdc101 said the have a locking mechanism, some folks also use the with jack stands

TL7000.
I think 24” max height.

Correction 7000 TLX.

Works great this way also. Still really happy with this purchase.

Those are nice. I thought about getting some but never have.

Anyone use this style for wheels on work?
Seems it won’t fail below ramp height

I did look at those but I love that I can get the vehicle all the way off the ground.

Agreed, 90% of the appeal of the Quickjack is for changing wheels and tires, or working on suspension (for me at least, I need snow tires so I change a lot of tires all the time)
