Quick jack lift for Model A
Has anyone ever used this type of lift on a 31 Model A.

Re: Quick jack lift for Model A
Are you asking about the type that Harbor Freight sells that is called Quick Lift? If so, that lift won't work on a stock Model-A without major modifications and pieces fabricated. We use something very similar on our race car where it is placed under the tube chassis.

Re: Quick jack lift for Model A
I have a Quick Jack and used it for my Model A. Yes, I had to move it around to get the proper lifting points, and use the extenders provided....but with careful preparation I was able to do it. I've used it with my F250, Mazda 3, and WWII jeep, but the old 'A' was actually the easiest to set up!

Re: Quick jack lift for Model A
They came with the Quick Jack. There are 3 pieces to extend. 2 have the rubber pads (one square, the other round) and a center steel piece to really make it tall! I was able to angle the units to match the width of the frame at front and back, with more of the jack towards the front (most of the weight) of my RPU.I would watch it rise as I pressed the switch, stop before it touched and reset if I needed to. Yes, I was getting up and down constantly checking things out. I was under the frame and avoided the brake rods.

Re: Quick jack lift for Model A
This is what I use, a KwikLift. According to their website, due to the cost of steel, they have temporarily stopped production. If you look on Craigslist, they do pop up from time to time.
You drive up the unit, like a ramp, and then use a hydraulic jack to lift the end up, and then extend the feet. Very stable, have seen a video of a car on one of these, during an earthquake. It was not going anywhere. There is a cross-piece that you can use, to straddle between the two ramps. With this, you can use a jack stand to support the car, when you remove a tire. For storage, lay them flat. You can park on or over them. https://www.kwik-lift.com/ |
