Motorsport Mickey Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 Looked at them about 18 months ago, from memory situated in Texas or thereabouts and didn't respond to request of "how much". Mick Richards Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cew Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 Neat,if you don't need the wheels off,if you do it's a lot of jacking and you still need conventional stands. I have some hd tubing I might use the idea in a modified way. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lebro Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 Looks good, & looks expensive ! Bob. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Richardtr3a Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 (edited) My security system would not allow me to open the link. I will never know what these jacks are like. But that is better than getting my laptop infected. Anyone else had a problem. Richard Edited April 8, 2015 by Richardtr3a Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PaulAnderson Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 Anyone else had a problem. Richard Nope, fine with my Kaspersky protection. No problems with the manufacturers site at http://myliftstand.com/either. Paul Quote Link to post Share on other sites
foster461 Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 Dont see any issues with the web site security but since these gadgets dont get the car any higher than my heavy duty axle stands I dont quite get the point of spending an additional several hundred dollars for something else that I will have to store.

Geko Posted April 9, 2015 Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 This thing runs counter to anything sensible I could think of for car lifting. Reminds me TR engineering Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BlueTR3A-5EKT Posted April 9, 2015 Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 Looks like a single action 4 pillar press tool die set to me.... Clever application. http://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/standard-press-tool-die-set-press_60030739822.html Peter W Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Motorsport Mickey Posted April 9, 2015 Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 Just a matter of scale and overall applied load. Mick Richards Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Don H. Posted April 9, 2015 Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 ...since these gadgets dont get the car any higher than my heavy duty axle stands I dont quite get the point of spending an additional several hundred dollars for something else that I will have to store... I'm with ya on that, Stan. I have a set of Harbor Freight aluminum jackstands that are easy to place under the four corners of the frame, giving me plenty of access to the underside and the wheels. My car spends any significant down time like this. My grandfather, whom I never met, worked rigging equipment for many years (see the attached photo of one of his jobs in the early 1940s), and taught my dad the value of cribbing. My father passed that on to me -- we were almost always raising something around the house with cribbing. A number of people have built bolted-together cribbing from lumber to hold raised wheels -- these wheel stands seem sorta like a fancier way of doing the same thing.

McMuttley Posted April 9, 2015 Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 this is a lot easyer. Marcel I was going to get a variation on this theme last year, then realised they dont work if you only have a single garage ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Quicksilver Posted April 9, 2015 Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 @ Mc Multtey, some small wood rams/blocks in front of and behind the mini lift, that will do the trick. (seen some wear on youtube). Marcel. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

nowtelse2do Posted November 7, 2015 Report Share Posted November 7, 2015 The system that Andrew posted is not a bad idea IMO because there are no axle stands you're having to work around or re-position. Dave Quote Link to post Share on other sites
