EZcarlift

Anyone here seen or used this lift before? I've been in search for a small car lift for awhile now and I think I finally found the one that fits perfectly in my two car garage.

http://ezcarlift.com/ezcarlift_video.html watch the video. Interesting.

There's also a group buy I'm considering joining.
I hear the first round they had 60 buyers.

I've seen it, but I don't know anything about it.

Have you seen this one?

I have no idea about this lift, I have a MaxJax that I love. It is a mid-rise that goes up 48". Below is the link and I just got a flyer in the mail, they are on special for 2099.00. I would highly recommend this lift. It is also portable and can stored away. Watch the Jay Leno Garage video

Costco has the Dannmar lift for $1,899, shipping included.

You can buy Hydraulic Scissor Lifts full rise for around $1800 and mid rise for around $1200. This is fairly simple idea and looks really easy to use. My thoughts it should be about half of what they are charging when compared to a Hydraulic system.

I would have gotten a full size lift but my ceiling in the garage is only 10'8" and I didn't want to cut into the ceiling. A full size lift really needs a 12' ceiling minimum. When I build my detached garage, I will have a Mohawk and move the MaxJax to the new garage for brakes in the second bay. Right now I can get under the entire car on a roller seat and is portable if it needs to be, I have not moved the MaxJax since I put it in19 months ago.

Could I use the Danmar by lifting the boxster to the very top, putting those steel bars in to hold it, and then drive another short sports car under it for storage?

One thing about a full rise is that you can go just half way up and it is mobile. I like the MaxJax too.

Even at $1,500 group buy it just seems way expensive for what it is. I think I'd choose the jaxmax, but that's just me,
