It is possible to use it to put the car on jack stands? Everything I
see shows the car lifted and then it stays on the quickjacks for the
duration of the work. It looks like they make the appropriate jack
stand spots inaccessible. I guess it depends on the vehicle.

I see shows the car lifted and then it stays on the quickjacks for the
duration of the work. It looks like they make the appropriate jack
stand spots inaccessible. I guess it depends on the vehicle.

I have one of the 5,000lb models (Costco had them on sale for less than
$1K a while back). They work as advertised, but there's one quirk: since
they're parallelogram-shaped, the platform moves forward as they're
lowered. This makes it a bit tricky to place jackstands as the car moves
forward as it's lowered.<br><br>
Maybe they should call them "QuirkJack?"<br><br>

Yes, I was thinking the same thing. There should be some sort of
electric alternative, perhaps using one of the common battery packs like
Milwaukee. But as you found, apparently no such thing exists
yet. As for the Quickjack, those are definitely clever. One
concern is the way they describe the sizing based on the kind of
car. I wonder if there is a model that can handle both a small car
like a Miata and a large SUV. I am not buying a selection of these
things! Also, I can currently lift a project car for long term work
and then jack up another car for an oil change or brake job. I
guess I would still need a jack and stands for that scenario. They

Pneumatics seem to be fading away. I did find a bunch of crap, mostly for
roadside emergencies that wouldn't fit under sports cars. Sadly nothing
approaching the version in my head.<br><br>
