Airbag jack

[greglepore]

Anyone try one? https://www.vevor.com/pneumatic-car-jack-c_10308/vevor-triple-bag-air-jack-3-ton-6600-lbs-pneumatic-jack-for-car-suv-lifting-p_010484812674?srsltid=AfmBOoqSoc3sGF6MCBELGqhkf39 FHoXB0sQPLuvgQmXwBRbPskUeCaed

The youtube reviews look positive. I have a 3 ton jack tray on my 4 post but haven't found the right solution, this looks promising. A actual bridge jack is 6-800 bucks, this with a cross beam and jackstands (still needed with a bridge) should do the trick?

First I'm seeing it! Great idea!

We use something similar when we need to stabilize a car wreck. Our kit is literally a bag that looks like a big azz pillow when inflated.

The jack idea should work but I'd recommend a back up support...ya know...just in case.

Ya know that would work great for the trike.

Yeah, I've seen the rescue jacks, I had no idea these were available. They've been around for a couple years apparently. They have telescoping steel cores, but there's no way I'd use one on its own, lift the vehicle and lower it on stands.

I talked to my s-i-l after posting, he runs trucking and repair for a large commercial construction outfit, they use big versions. His hot tip was to use a cordless compressor (they use a Milwaukee 18v) to keep hoses out of the way. That way you can use in the field as well...

I ordered one, will have it in a couple days.

If you think about it, give us a report on how you like it when you've used it!

I've got one and it works well. It's pretty heavy with no wheels so you just have to muscle it into place. The valves for the air input and bleed have cheap handles on them that needed some fiddling/repair but the jack it self is powerful. The bellows are made of thick rubber and the jack pad is about 4" across. I've used it on a f-150 and an MGA. My 911 is in a different location but there's no doubt it would lift it.

I have that same one. Really like it. Very quick.

I like that its easy to make small adjustments in height quickly.
Makes it a lot easier to place jack stands

How long does it take using a cordless compressor? I take it you modify the hose to fit the jack.

I’m down to a pancake compressor, and wondered if that was up to the task.

Looks like Amazon has the same for $69

I’m tempted, but I have three floor jacks of small, medium or large sizes already. +2 drive on ramps.

Lol. I have quick jacks, a coupe floor jacks, and a 4 post. Never enough.

A pancake compressor works great for these, according to youtube.

I'd really like to love the quickjack, but the hoses on the ground and the weight...

I thought about using the quickjack on the lift, but the weight stops me. This will drop into the jack pan and live there.

Ha! I forgot about the Quickjack I just bought!
