Tip - use construction screws rather than drywall screw. They are much stronger and will last a lot longer...

@DaveMedicus 2 жыл бұрын

Yes construction screws would have been stronger. Surprisingly I have not had any issues with the screws rusting or anything.

@@DaveMedicus Works well. It's kind of heavy, all wood. I also need to make a small on/off ramp; It got a little hairy the last time I backed off of it. I could have used another inch length on my legs. ha-Ha.

Are the large 3/4 inch bolts on the sides that you call “lockdown” bolts going through the round ends of the quickjacks? Is this to keep the platform from tipping off of the jacks? I noticed that the official quickjack platform uses a rod all the way through both jacks. Do you feel that the way that you have boxed in both jacks by 2x4s serves the same purpose? Really appreciate this video.

@DaveMedicus 5 жыл бұрын

Sam Yakulis yes they are used to hold the quickjack to the stand. I would go with a smaller bolt to help with alignment and movement. The stands don’t move without the bolts but I wanted to have an additional bind point. If the air is not perfect in the jacks they can lower at different rates. This stand works great. I will actually be putting it to good use this weekend.

Dave Medicus Thanks, Dave. I plan on constructing something very similar and appreciate the ideas that you have shared here.

CMA Spirit of the HIGH WAY its a quick jack hydraulic lift made for vehicles but I use it for both.

Nice video Dave! I have a similar video on a platform I built for my Quickjack lift and you should check it out... How does the HF wheel chock work for you?

@DaveMedicus 5 жыл бұрын

Manny F. It works amazing. I would highly recommend it. I use it everyday with no issues.

@@DaveMedicus Nice, i've been looking for a good one to upgrade my platform with.

@clownpocket Жыл бұрын

That Harbor Freight has an odd layout of holes, 3 on one side, four on the other. Did you use all those to bolt it down? I'm mountig my HF chock to my trailer. I think I might have to drill holes in the steel chock that are across from each other to go through the trailer frame.

@DaveMedicus Жыл бұрын

I believe that I did. It would honestly depend on the mounting surface that you are using as to how many bolts I would use. If it is thin material I would go with more.
