Waiting in the driveway when I got home was this mysterious looking plastic wrapped bundle. The newest toy to add to the &#8220;shop&#8221; was delivered today, less than four\u00c2\u00a0weeks after I ordered it, nice! So what is it? My very own two post hydaulic automotive lift. It&#8217;s a 6,000 lb capacity mid rise lift from Danmar called the Maxjax and it&#8217;s selling point being mid-rise is that it does not require a high ceiling, most standard residential concrete floor will meet its requirements, and the other point is it&#8217;s &#8220;portable&#8221;. At 800+ pounds, you probably won&#8217;t want to pack it into your car to take to your buddies for a weekend project, but what it means is it can easily be broken down into smaller parts and the posts can unbolt from the floor and be wheeled away into a corner to be stored, leaving the garage space fully open after your done.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.studionewmedia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/P1020217.JPG\"><img data-attachment-id=\"3957\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/studionewmedia.com\/blog\/index.php\/2010\/09\/16\/roots-speed-shop\/p1020217\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/studionewmedia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/P10202171.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"600,800\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;1.7&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;DMC-GF1&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1284583522&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;20&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;1600&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.033333333333333&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"P1020217\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/studionewmedia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/P10202171-225x300.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/studionewmedia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/P10202171.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-3957\" title=\"P1020217\" src=\"http:\/\/www.studionewmedia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/P1020217-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"P1020217\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a>Little Inyou here came out to check it out too. Haven&#8217;t quite decided on that name for kitty, but I think it&#8217;s works for her black and whiteness. Inyou is yin-yang.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, after dinner I set out to unpack it. I wasn&#8217;t sure about moving all these hunks of steel by myself, but I didn&#8217;t want to leave it out in the open. With judicious use of my car jack and my favorite SGI rollie plate, I was able to unpack everything and move it into the garage with minimal strain. Happy with that! I think it would be advisable to use steel toe shoes as parts did come clanging down a few times pretty close to my toes, but I avoided any injuries.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.studionewmedia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/P1020219.JPG\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft\" title=\"P1020219\" src=\"http:\/\/www.studionewmedia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/P1020219-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"P1020219\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a>Stay tuned for a report after it&#8217;s installed!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s here!
