kwiklift
Hi All,
Has anyone had any experience --or owned-- with a Kwiklift (http://www.kwiklift.com/) that is either good or bad. I am toying with the idea and would like some feedback. Thanks Hank from PA |
Re: kwiklift
I've looked into these and questioned actual lift height. (They state
30"* and I couldn't find what the "*" stood for. Pictures showed about 18" by my liberal eye under the tires. So I gave my 10" plain steel drive on ramps a 10" lift kit with extruded steel and extended ramps for less than $75 in steel and used my large floor jack to lift and jack stand the rear up the 20". All told I saved myself at least $1000 by my cheapo calculator. Of course owning the steel fabricating and welding equipment may have to be factored in if you haven't got access to such. Cheers!

Re: kwiklift
It would appear that the lift height was limited by the lifting height of
the floor jack... the jack it would appear that you supply. Glorified jack-stands, in a way... maybe a bit easier (and safer) to lift though.

You seem most talented by making your own.

Re: kwiklift
If I hadn't have seen the kwiklift I would have never gotten the idea to
begin with. ;-) I was, and still am, looking at a real lift system because my old bones don't like crawling on the floor anymore. Maybe I'll see one I can build! ;-) BTW When I pulled my tranny recently I had lots of room to roll it on out the side to give it a good cleaning and inspection. I don't think you could roll out a tranny on a tranny lift out the side with the kwiklift. I may be wrong. Cheers!
