Hi guys,
I redid a 10×13 foot section of my garage floor last summer hoping to get a lift.
I jackhammered it out and paid a kid to throw it all into a trailer for someone else in need of solid fill.
Drilled into the existing slab and installed 1/2 rebar, then ordered 4K psi with fiber mesh, we got it pourted and finished off,
then the price of the maxjax m7k lift jumped $600 so I stalled off.
Recently saw Lowes had them on sale for 3600 delivered to the driveway, so I jumped on it.
Waiting for a 7/8 concrete drill to finish the install but I’ve got the posts stood up , tested and bled the hydraulics , it seems fine to me.
Goes up, engages the safety locks, comes down very slow…probably because theres no car pushing the fluid back,
I measured the full rise at 50 inches when using the riser pads. heres a quick vid.
