I purchased a sissors type Transmission jack from Harbor Freight. It lifts to 30". I fabricatted a cradle that extended the reach 10" higher so the car was at a easy height to sit on a roller and work. The Maxjax has 3 lift heights where a pin can be placed to secure the height. I set it there and everything worked out well.

It just looks so top heavy, ready to tip. Doesn't look to be well anchored. But, if it is stable...it would be great to have.

This is a well designed lift. It has 5- 3/4" anchors in each base plate. A hydralic lift motor works on 110 - 120 VAC. There are 3 pin secured heights where a 3/4" rod can be passed throught the entire frame so you are not depending on the hydraulic rams to hold the load. The car weight is 2900 # the hoist lifts and holds 6000#. There is no wobble or motion of any type with even a 4800# truck on the lift. The Car was on the lift 3 days while the clutch, fly wheel, pressure plate, IMS, RMS, Plugs, coils, and other work was done. I have since used it to work on my Pick up truck and wife car and feel very secure while working around the lift. You can use it in a garage with a 8' ceiling but you may not be able to extend it totally. You must have 4" of concrete in you floor. I was pleasently suprised that there was between 5" and 6" in my garage floor.
