This MaxJax Moves

Setting Up and Working in Multiple Shop Bays with MaxJax

You can Unbolt and Bolt your MaxJax to where it is the Most Useful

The MaxJax can really move. This means that if you do mechanical repairs in one area of your garage or shop, and perform dusty body work in another area, you can unbolt and move your MaxJax to the spot where it is the most useful. To relocate your MaxJax you’ll simply need to purchase an additional anchor bolt kit (https://www.maxjax.com/accessories/ ) that provides you with 10 recessed anchors, 10 anchor bolts, and 10 flat washers. Installing the anchor bolt kit in another suitable location allows the MaxJax to work where you work. The new installation will require accurately mapping out where to drill and install the 10 anchors into a proper concrete location. Once everything is ready, you simply unbolt the MaxJax from where it is, to where you need it to be. Pretty cool, huh?

And Moving the MaxJax is Easy

MaxJax’s lift columns each come standard with two durable caster wheels. So if you’re hearty enough to swap a set of tires, you’re more than able to tilt and roll MaxJax columns to another location. Just properly install Anchor-Bolt kits in a qualifying concrete location that you’ll be moving your MaxJax to. With this portability you can roll your MaxJax to any suitable work bay. MaxJax works where you do.

Simple Details about Site Layout and Preparation

You may want the MaxJax setup in both slim and wide configurations for working on narrow body vintage classics (VW Bugs, early Mustangs, etc.) or newer full-size trucks and late-model cars. In other words, for your site layout, determine the location of where the lift will be installed based on the anticipated size of vehicles you’ll be servicing. Or even choose to install additional anchors at varied width column positions for adaptability to multiple vehicle sizes. When the MaxJax is relocated to another area, the in-concrete anchors remain in place and are ready for the next time the MaxJax is reinstalled. Sizing up your site layout for a MaxJax will require accuracy. Before drilling into your 4” or thicker concrete, it’s best to perform a “Test-Fit” with a representatively sized vehicle parked in the spot where the MaxJax will generally be setup. For most applications, a 20’ X 14’ space will be required. Remember that a typical full-size sedan is 16’ long or more. Even a Toyota Camry is 16’ (193 inches) and a Suburban is almost 19’. You’ll also want to consider the approaching area and the overhead distance. For complete install details, please refer to MaxJax Downloads.

Here's a General "What's Needed" List for MaxJax setup in Multiple Shop Bays:

Select a 20’ X 14’ space in your shop
Vehicle approaching and pulling out areas open and unobstructed
For most vertical lifting-no interfering overhead obstructions, including ceiling heaters, rollup garage doors, etc.
Good condition of indoor concrete slab (no significant cracks or crumbling)
If slab is a Post-tension cable, requires radar mapping and avoiding cables while drilling
The concrete slab should be 4” thick and preferably more. No asphalt slab
