Full-size car lifts take up permanent floor space, while
jack stands still leave you working in tight conditions
underneath the vehicle. QuickJack and MaxJax portable lifts
give you safer lifting, better access, and the ability to
move or store the system when the job is done.

Best Portable Car Lifts for Your Shop & Garage
Portable car lifts have revolutionized vehicle maintenance, especially in residential garages where space is often at a premium. Their compact design and mobility make them ideal for homeowners who want professional-level lifting without the footprint of a traditional platform.
Though smaller than traditional two and four-post lifts, these lifts are up to the task at hand. Whether you need to service sports cars, family sedans, extra-long wheelbase vehicles, light-duty trucks, or SUVs, there’s a portable car lift perfect for you.
A host of other features ensure QuickJack is unlike any other lift.
QuickJack combines a low-profile portable design with
features built around vehicle fit, simple operation,
portability and clear access beneath the vehicle.
Mobility
Built-in Urethane Wheels
Urethane is the ideal material for rollers because
it's hard enough to withstand heavy abuse, but soft
enough not to scratch or mar your flooring.
QuickJack is safe to roll across concrete, asphalt,
race/garage tiling and most other flooring found in
auto bays and home garages.
Vehicle Fit
Extended Block Trays
Stackable rubber blocks can be adjusted to a wide
range of lift point spreads. QuickJack engages
vehicles' manufacturer-recommended lift points, so
we offer a variety of models and weight classes for
your convenience. The rubber blocks can be
positioned anywhere in the lift tray.
Hydraulic Connections
Quick-Connect Fittings
Zero-leak fittings connect the frames to the power
unit. The hoses can be disconnected once the lift is
raised and locked. This lets you work without hoses
interfering with your workspace, and the fittings
pop right back into place when you're ready to lower
the lift.
Operation
One-Touch Button Control
A pendant control comes equipped with two buttons:
Up and Down. While the lift rises, the lock cams
glide over two lock positions, lower and upper. It
takes about 30 seconds to reach maximum rise at the
upper lock.
Power Options
110V AC or 12V DC Power
Most home and shop operators prefer the simplicity
of the 110V power unit. For track use or working
on-the-go, a 12V unit can run off a portable battery
pack or car battery. International voltages are also
available.
Lift Safety
ALI Certification
ALI certification means the lift has been independently
tested to meet ANSI/ALI safety and performance standards.
Certified lifts go through structural, load and safety
testing to verify they can safely handle their rated
capacity under real working conditions. When you see the
ALI Gold Label, you know the lift wasn't just self-tested
by the manufacturer.
MaxJax
M7K
MaxJax M7K: Built Rugged, Built Safe
The MaxJax M7K combines the service access of a two-post
lift with a portable design that lets you reclaim floor
space when the lift is not in use.
Perfect For Low Ceilings

most unique yet versatile tools in your shop or
garage. It delivers full-sized lift advantages
in shops and garages with limited ceiling
height, and best of all, it's completely

Worry-Free Operation
When compared to floor jacks or jack stands, the
MaxJax provides increased safety when installed
and operated properly. Each anchor generates a
tensile strength of up to 16,500 lbs. Together,
the anchors are capable of holding many times
the maximum capacity weight of 7,000 lbs.
Pop-Up Bay Ready
You never want to miss out on business because
you don't have enough space. With the
portability of the MaxJax M7K, you can set up a
temporary work bay and remove the lift when the
job is done to reclaim the floor space.

Lift FAQs
Portable Car Lift FAQs
Get answers to common questions about portable vehicle
lifts, garage requirements and choosing a system for
home or professional use.
How thick should concrete be for a 2 post car lift?
Most
two-post car lifts
require at least
4 to 4.25 inches
of concrete with a minimum strength of 3,000 PSI,
though heavier lifts may require thicker slabs.
Before installation, check the
lift
manufacturer's exact requirements and make sure the
concrete is level, fully cured and free of major
cracks.
Are portable car hoists worth the investment?
Portable car lifts can be a practical investment for
garages where flexibility and floor space matter.
Unlike a permanently installed full-size lift, a
portable system can be moved or stored when it is
not needed while still giving you better access
beneath the vehicle than conventional floor-jack
service.
What vehicles can I lift with a portable car lift?
Portable lift compatibility depends on the lift's
rated capacity, lift-point range and configuration.
The portable systems offered by Wrenchers cover
applications ranging from compact cars and sports
cars to sedans, extra-long wheelbase vehicles,
light-duty trucks and SUVs. Always verify the
vehicle weight and manufacturer-recommended lift
points against the specifications of the lift you
are considering.
What's the difference between QuickJack and MaxJax?
QuickJack uses portable low-profile lifting frames
positioned beneath the vehicle's lift points. MaxJax
uses a portable two-post configuration designed to
provide the service access of a two-post lift while
allowing the posts to be removed when the bay needs
to be reclaimed. The better configuration depends
on your available space, vehicle requirements and
the type of work you plan to perform.

No More Jack Stands!
QuickJack offers far more surface area than jack stands, substantially increasing its stability compared to old-fashioned stands. The self-locking bars do the work of those stands—and everyone agrees, this portable car lift does it better.

Before installation, check the lift manufacturer’s exact requirements and make sure the concrete is level, fully cured, and free of major cracks.
Are portable car hoists worth the investment?
Portable car lifts make sense for garages and shops that need more lifting access without giving up permanent floor space. They provide faster setup, better undercar access, and more stability than floor jacks and jack stands for routine maintenance and repair work. For many home garages, they’re the closest option to a full-size lift without the installation demands of a fixed system.
Are portable car lifts suitable for all types of vehicles?
Most portable lifts handle everything from compact cars to light trucks and SUVs. Check the lift’s capacity and platform size to make sure it fits your vehicle and intended use.
How safe are portable car lifts?
Portable car lifts are safe when they’re used on a level surface, properly positioned at the vehicle’s lift points, and operated within their rated capacity. Systems like QuickJack and MaxJax use mechanical locking systems to hold the vehicle securely once lifted, rather than relying only on hydraulic pressure. ALI-certified models also go through independent testing for load capacity and safety performance.
