I made one using an 18-wheeler air bag. They're light and handy and bigger is better. I used mine to position shipping containers so I left off the lateral movement hinge restraints. That worked perfectly getting my container atop the steel beam base of my previous containers. I used one of my industrial CO2 cylinders to inflate it away from shop air and as many truck owners already use CO2 to air up tires, seat beads etc jacking is a bonus.

Great idea so quick and easy

It is. Especially for winter tire changeovers

If you have any 10mm corrugated conduit around, it might be a good idea to sheathe the airline hose at the joint between the base of the jack and the arm. The bolts as well as the swivel are likely to chafe the airline and that's a surprise you might want to avoid. I have a bunch as it's cheap and easy to come by on Amazon and others, so I sheathed the entire line through the arm just to protect it from my small cluttered garage and abuse.

That’s a great idea!

Could you see using to lift a corner of vehicle on your 4-post lift using pinch weld and maybe a pinch weld rubber adapter on the air bag jack? I'm thinking of attempting that.

I think I am going to mod this one for exactly that. The handle is proving to be annoying also. I think id rather just move it around by hand and get rid of the wheels, handle, etc.

Can the rubber plate on top be removed to put in like a harbor freight cross beam?

@DeathTollRacing 2 ай бұрын

You could modify it to I’m sure, but it won’t be a “bolt on” install I don’t think

Nice demo! Question, now that you've had this over 7 months, have you used it a lot and if so, is it still working well? I'm wondering how these bag type jacks hold up as compared to those 12V scissor jacks and those 12V hydraulic (cheepy) jacks?

@DeathTollRacing 3 ай бұрын

To be honest, I don't like the handle at all. I plan on removing it. Then I will like this a lot more. I find I'm on the ground doing the final positioning anyway,, and the handle is just in the way. I've never tried out a 12v scissor jack, but I think this would be more stable since it has a big foot print.

@@DeathTollRacing Thanks for that. I agree, from all the vids I've watched on this particular design, that handle is a weak point. I watched another video on a VEVOR 3-tone (white color of all things) and noticed that the handle is very different. It's not adjustable like that. It just is low to the ground (ish) and doesn't have any areas to kink the hose. I think that I like that better. I don't see the need to "adjust" the handle as we only have a Honda CRV and I'm looking for an easier way to lift it to change the tires. Pretty much, nothing else. I have this version in my Amazon cart right now, but before that, I put in the 5 ton version, red. LOL As I went to complete the order, I noticed that F'ING Amazon wanted $81.xx for shipping! NO FREE SHIPPING unless I signed up for Prime! ROFL I refuse to use Prime. Long story. Anyway, thanks for your confirmation. I really appreciate it.

How many gallon compressor do you need? I'm thinking a 3 gal won't cut it? Will a 6?

@DeathTollRacing 3 ай бұрын

any size will work, it just may be slow to full height. I think a 3 would do a full lift though.

Thanks! It’s a 1965 Pontiac Safari Wagon. I did a full build series on this channel on it but it failed to ever take off. Here’s a Timelapse build video of it.

If you took a air tank it would be awesome for off road.

@DeathTollRacing 10 ай бұрын

and some rigs have onboard air too. So it may be a good option. Especially if you take the arm off so it stows easier.

They used these sorts of jacks in endurance racing during the 1970's and 1980's. Faster than a manual jack, and better for the extreamly tight pitlanes of europe... Cool shit

it is fast for sure!
