Anyone got a QuickJack?

Yeah they are great bit of kit, as for storage I have mine hanging on the wall when not in use so take up very little space, they actually sell wall hangers :-

Wall Hangers Set

These sleek, black powder-coated wall mounts are the only official hangers designed and engineered by QuickJack. They're guaranteed to safely hold all QuickJack frames when mounted directly into a wall stud. Sold in sets of two.

I've been thinking about getting one for a while now. I wonder if they are of any use in a single garage as in the videos i can see that the cars tend to move forwards when being lifted.

Very tempting at that price too.
 
After not enjoying the frame alignment at all my first two uses, I bought some significantly bigger rubber blocks. I recently put those to use and it was definitely worth it. No faffing around with getting the frames and blocks in just the right position. These are 120x160mm blocks and they fit in the QJ frames perfectly as you can see. The shortest block that I could get in and still clear the frame was was 50mm. The shortest blocks that come with it are 54mm. I definitely wouldn't go any lower than 50mm on the 7000TL.

With the new, larger blocks, aligning each frame with the jacking points is a doddle. I highly rate the QJ, they just need some casters to make manoeuvring them around less arduous. That's next on my list.
 
I really need one of these with the amount of car work I do. Would love a proper lift, but I just don't have the space/height to be able to get this in unfortunately...
 
ive just sold my old 2 poster, it was 3 phase so i had to run a convertor hence never fealt it had the umph. was 20 odd years old mind. bought and installed one of these https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/305214085627

must say it does what it says on the tin and i leisurely took a couple of days fitting it , i did rather grill the company over emails and on the phone before i decided but it was well worth it .
does the job a treat, yes i had previously adjusted my roof joists for the old one to work but this one is shorter and designed with normal garages in mind.

How do these work with sloped garage floors?
My new build double garage has a very slight slope towards the door, I can only assume so any water runs out.
We are talking 1 brick's worth across the entire length of the garage.
 
I have a pair and couldnt live without them now. For me I feel much safer when raising a car on my own at the press of a button, yes they are heavy but that says to me solid. Here was a review I did of mine a while ago:

I moved house and am finally getting the garage organised. I wanted to wall mount the QJ but couldn't stomach the cost of the hangers. The cheapest I found them was from the UK supplier (Liftmaster) for £61 posted and it felt like too much.

The boss lady's father is a metal worker. He knocked these together in 30 minutes! I just need some rubber to cover the bottom and they have been bettered for much less. I'll post some pics once they are on the wall.

Nice. I'm still trying to decide whether I should get some of these. I think my main issue is that because I don't have a garage, I'd need to lug them round from the shed at the back of the house whenever I would need to use them.

I looked in to this as my drive has a gradient as well. Their site states it can't be used on anything more than a 3 degree incline, so roughly a 25cm drop over the length of a 5m driveway. Anything under that and you're golden, just set it up to put the weight on the lower end.
 
Whilst not QuickJacks, I do like the idea of the jackpoint jackstands where you essentially lift the jack with your jack via a "puck", then you bring in what essentially is an axle stand that fits around your jack, which you then lower the puck onto.

Unfortunately these aren't distributed in the UK and shipping from the States adds on a lot of cost.
