Portable Vehicle Lifting

Portable Car Lifts

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.

Professional lifting without permanently giving up the bay.

Portable car lifts are ideal for residential garages, professional shops and workspaces where flexibility matters. Choose your system based on vehicle size, lift-point spread, available ceiling height and how you plan to use the lift.

QuickJack Low-Profile Portable Frames

Independent lifting frames slide beneath the vehicle and can be moved or stored when the job is finished.

MaxJax Portable Two-Post Lifting

Get two-post lift access with a removable system designed for garages where permanent posts are not practical.

Vehicle Fit Standard & Extended Reach

Match frame length and lift-point spread to compact cars, sedans, long-wheelbase vehicles, trucks and SUVs.

Complete Setup Bundles & Accessories

Add adapters, blocks and storage accessories or choose a bundle that packages commonly used equipment together.

QuickJack
Features

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.

QuickJack portable caster wheels
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.

QuickJack no-leak quick-disconnect fittings
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.

QuickJack push-button controls
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
