How I Turned A 4 Post Lift Into A 2 Post Lift With A Ranger QuickJack

BendPak sponsored this video and sent me a brand new Ranger QuickJack BL-5000SLX so I could turn my four post HD-9 lift into something with the functionality of a two post lift.
NOTE I mentioned that the Quickjack can lift 21". That is only with the 4" blocks attached. The Quickjack by itself can lift a maximum of 17".

Go for it all the way up.
I like the safety of the set up. The 4 post lift is super safe.
Thanks! Looking to get one of these soon.
I'm doing the same thing with my setup, only started first with the quickjacks and just ordered the 4 post lift. I am already thinking about modifying the lift to put rails on the outside to hold onto the quickjacks so I don't have to move them around as much, just flip them on their side and stow them on custom rails outside the ramps on each side.

As a simpler alternative, I've heard of people laying down a few 2x8 boards bridging between the runways and resting on the spots where the jack tray normally sits. Then you can just rest the Quickjack on top of those between the runways. My 4 post is coming in a few weeks and I'm planning to try this.
I got a 7000 lb model coming in this wed! Can't wait. I had a 2009 S550. I wonder if it would reach the lift points cause that thing had a long ass wheel base. Also did the lift come with caster wheels?
Is that rust I see bubbling up on your passenger side front door?
Subscribed your a trip, great shows...
Is it too much pressure allocated just in the center of the red horizontal beam? Will it bend?
BenPak "hooked you up" for sure!
Pretty sure this falls under "Do not put jacks on 4 post lift common sense"
Now you have over 1 million subs
After watching you change the oil, I was a bit worried...XD
Next VIDEO: How to remove rust on the passenger door. Or how to replace the door :) Seems that there is some rust on the bottom as well on this door. Anyway, the fail with the package was epic. That moment when you realize you made that phone call for nothing :D :D :D ....
not entirely sure about that lifting method... I would have concerns the weight of those quick lifts transferring weight to the center of the 4 corner posts. The weak spot is applying weight to the center of the lift. The second issue would be the 4 post lift not bolted. the weight would pull those 4 posts inward with those quick jack lifts. 4 tires keep weight on outside edge, center lifts would do the opposite. your post on left there shows light reflection changes with quick jack lift, weight there is stressing four post lift.

I have considered this setup, but Bendpak makes specific recommendations for weight distribution on the runways. The quickjack puts all of the vehicle weight in the middle third. For a light car you might get away with it, but for a 4500# vehicle, you might be bordering on structural failure of the runways. You can find the recommendations here (page 11) www.bendpak.com/Rolling-Bridge-Jacks-Manual-5900004-BendPak.pdf

I was thinking of this as well. However, sliding Jack's and stands would have a similar effect, so I'm not sure that the method in this video is truly invalid.
Lol your humbleness is hysterical I’m smdh that damn phantom box!
I’m afraid it would slide on fall off the inside of the bigger lift. Can the smaller lift be bolted in a way that it will be secured?
How thick is the cement on your floor?
What brand light stand is that?
You should put it all the way up!
You sounded a bit unsure of this product as far as a full endorsement goes. In lieu of a full-on 2-post lift (and subsequent $$$ investment), what are the shortcomings you think this lift has?
I am very surprised to see teflon tape included for use on the hydraulic fittings....
I need one of these for my fleet of cars
Hey Tavarish!!!
Can you tell me your honest opinion about the quick jack? I'm thinking about getting one since I cant install a 4 post lift in my garage.

Man i got one and setup isnt that bad as long as u can turn a wrench and teflon tape fittings only downside is that the rails are heavy as shit not exaggerating each rail is 100lbs a piece and the motor with fluid in it is like 35lbs but with the lift it gives u to work is worth the heavy lifting
Where do you originally come from tavaris?
I guess I'll have to stay tuned for the next video for him to remove those two extra posts. I'm curious which ones they will be.
I want this in my garage
Tavarish, would you have believed in February when you had 30-odd thousand subscribers that you'd be over 135,000 in December?
A lift on a lift. Sounds sketchy safety wise.
What do you like most about the 4 Post lift?
Is this portable lift really that worth it if you could just use jack stands at a fraction of the price..? Also let's see more on the 944 turbo!

Stands suck, I'm installing a 2 post after tax return lol. It's bad enough to jack up sports cars on the front for work. But to rotate tires, then you gotta do rear, too. It's just annoying.
Kinda scary how much that post on the left was moving.
what does this have to do with a two post lift.
How big is the trunk of your track day car that you can fit the Quick Jacks in it GODDAMN.

Yea theres no way in hell i got the top model thats for 7k lbs and the rails alone weigh 100lbs a piece he said put it in your trunk i laughed out loud
I would imagine the amount of small repairs that would even add up over time, this set up would pay for itself. There is tons of service I would do if only I could lift up my car. Very cool. The only disadvantage would be all the people wanting to borrow your garage.
Since you have the 4 post for gross movement, the QuickJack only needs to be used to elevate the car high enough to get the wheels up and the lift in a locked position.
I've been working on a hoist for 35 years. Never dropped a car yet. Just gotta remember cars fall in one direction, down.
Search, Jaguar XK convertible, it is related to the Vantage that's true.
Nice video! Time for a nice detail on the S-klasse???
I have a Bendpak 4 post lift it worked ok but after a few years all of the hoses broke down and dumped hydraulic fluid all over. Bendpak refused any assistance in replacing the garbage hoses
*you aren't supposed to lift it without a load on past the first lock.it's in your instruction manual, and actualy BendPak purposely under rates those quick jacks so they would still probably lift your dually, for future reference. just like the 7000 pound one i ordered is capable of lifting and supporting over 18000 pounds but it's not intended to support that weight normally*
Hi!!!
I like that Pelican Lift. But why is it on a 4 post?
15:46 a Ghost appears and the front wheel rotate.
You need a bigger garage!! Maybe take that step out to give you more room and all one level.
Mama said life is like a box of chocolates you never know what you going to get !! And papa always said is better to have a-lot of money !!!!

Chris N I've worked in automotive electronics since 1994, will be 25 years this summer. I've worked in both the OEM & aftermarket side and honestly, My biggest concern is the wiring for the cigarette lighter which is typically 16 gauge at best. I've seen 18-20 gauge wire used for a cigarette lighter as well. Let's say the vehicle has a 5' length of 16 gauge from a battery or power distribution to the cigarette lighter. That's good for about 30 amps max. The cigarette lighter is usually fuses with a 10-15 amp fuse, sometimes a 20 amp. Using a higher amperage fuse will melt the wiring if you use a higher amperage fuse. There's nothing wrong with using your lawn mower battery. Especially going directly to the battery. That's actually ideal.

I wish, the cheapest center bridge jack I could find for my lift runs $800 plus shipping. You would need two to get all 4 tires in the air so it comes out cheaper to do the quickjack. Wish Quickjack would send me a set to review haha.
Just got my four post and need to frequent brake jobs for track. Looked and found you can get two bridge jacks for only a bit more $$ than the quick jack. A simpler solution

not really. why do prices for a 4500lb bridge jack range from $600 to $1600????? makes me wonder about quality or stability. then trying to get a bridge jack for a lift that doesn't have any available from the manufacturer.
what are you so nervous about???? Its just as if you are lifting off the floor. You are on a four post lift, so anywhere on the red platform is fine. Just remember, depending how you have the orientation of the quick-jack(s) , the car will move forward or rearward as it goes up; about 15 inches.
ooo
cool but that is super sketchy
second
Mmmmmmaybe ya could donate the quick jack to me???? Being a broke ass EMT. I need a better paying job lol.
I doublge dog dare you to power that off of a cig lighter port
Still a 4 post lift. Please edit your title.
Not smart. The load capacity of a 4 post is determined by where the load is placed on the ramps. Your car loads the ramps at the wheels, which are closer to the posts. As the load moves toward the center of the ramps, the capacity drastically decreases. The scissor lift puts a significant amount of weight at the center of the ramps.
