Yeah but don't you need a big compressor or something for that? Or is it just unpack and lift car? You also have to bolt it to the floor so I don't understand how it is portable.

That looks great. Add me to GB if the price is right.

Ive done a lot of research on lifts. In the category of a small 2 foot raised lift the quick lift from Bendpak is the best because it has safety locks when raised, no encumbrances underneath when raised, steel frame, and hydraulic assist. The only downside is that the 3500 capacity makes it only useable for the S and other smaller low weight cars. Don even buy one if you plan on using the full 3500 lifting capacity it has. You really need to have a 250-500 lb. buffer from the max on this lift.

I'd go for that except for the limited height. It's great for anything other than the garage. I'd like at least 30" clearance out of a lift for doing serious work.

If not getting a full rise lift due to ceiling height in the garage, I would get this Atlas mid rise. Good quality and easy drive on and off feature with sitting height for front and rear maintenance applications. I would get the quick lift for track days and portable applications.

Use on a s2000. Unfortunately this will not work on some of our lowered suspensions. Good lift height but once assembled it has to be positioned against a wall when not in use. A bit cumbersome. Low weight capacity and no safety mechanism.

No compressor. It comes with the electric hydraulic pump that runs off 110. You drill 8 holes into the floor to bolt it in. t when you are done with it you unbolt it and store it somewhere along the wall in the garage.
Drilling holes will work only if you don't have a post tension slab. In a non-post tension slab you need a solid 4 inches of concrete and preferably 6 inches unless you hire a professional with a floor X-ray to to avoid hitting the post tension wires. The MaxJack is pretty cool. Great flexibility on a 2 post lift, easy to store and good safety mechanisms.

Some interesting variations on jacks and jack stands.

Here's a possible full rise that does give you drive on and off capability with access in the middle. Made my Atlas with a 7000 lb capacity.
