Ranger QuickJack 5000TLX Extended Portable Car Lift System

Description

Ranger QuickJack 5000TLX Extended Portable Car Lift System
5,000 lbs. Lifting Capacity 24" Lifting Height 76" Frame Length

Why did we develop the 5000TLX? Simple: the 5000TL has a limiting lift point reach of 60". That works for most vehicles, but there are vehicles whose manufacturer-recommended lift points are just an inch or two out of reach. That sounds like a small difference, but professional shops and smart DIY'ers know never to take chances with an off-balance load.

The 5000TLX has a 66" lift point reach that's long enough for virtually every consumer vehicle type out there (with the exception of certain electric vehicles, for which we offer the 6000ELX). Many auto detailing and repair shops can't fit a full-size car lift in their space, and there hasn't been an industry response to meet these needs. We heard the community's call and immediately went to work perfecting the TLX series. It's our pleasure to introduce the world's first professional-grade home car lift. Of course, commercial garages will get just as much use out of it. Looking to lift more weight with an extended-length frame? Check out the 7000TLX car lift.

Setup for the 5000TLX car lift is the same as it is for any other TL model. You still get 5,000 lbs. of lift, auto-locking safety bars, 30-second rise and one-touch button controls. Because we stretched our TLX models an extra 6" to accommodate some late-model cars, the overall frame length is also slightly longer. So, if you're into Smart Cars or other super-short wheelbase vehicles, be sure to measure first - these frames are probably too long. For vehicles with jack points that are a little closer together, we recommend the 5000TL. However, the TLX will often accommodate shorter vehicles too. We ask that you measure your wheelbase(s), re-measure, and then measure again. Better safe than sorry.

Extended-Length Car Lift Design
The 5000TLX portable car lift has been redesigned to accommodate vehicles with longer wheelbases. We've increased the overall frame length and lift point spread by 6". As a result, the minimum lift point spread is now 6" longer, as well. Our new portable car lift design better accommodates longer wheelbases and/or extended lift point spreads.

TL Minimum Lift Point Spread: 37"
TLX Minimum Lift Point Spread: 43"

TL Maximum Lift Point Spread: 60"
TLX Maximum Lift Point Spread: 66"

TL Overall Frame Length: 70"
TLX Overall Frame Length: 76"

What's the difference between the NEW TL Models vs. SLX Models?
The biggest difference between the 5000TL and BL-5000SLX is the lifting height, which has increased 3 inches. This provides ample room to perform all the common vehicle maintenance tasks and allows you the capability to perform even the most complicated repairs.

Overall dimensions have remained the same, so you'll continue to benefit from what made QuickJack so popular in the automotive community and that is it's super-low 3" lowered height. The minimum lifting point spread did change from 31.5" to 37", but this will not make a difference to the vast majority of 5000TL users.

Automatic Safety Locks
Features dual-position automatic safety locks on each TL frame. As the frames rise, these locks glide securely into place at mid-rise and full-rise. Disengage with a simple flip of the lock bar and your car lift is ready for a smooth descent.

Increased Lifting Height
QuickJack TL models are capable of lifting an extra 3-inches making it easier to perform vehicle maintenance tasks that are both routine and more involved. The extra room gives you more ability and versatility under the vehicle, while doing so in added comfort.

One-Handed Operation
By holding the pendant control in one hand, your other hand is totally free. No cranking or bending during lifting.

Accessories To Increase Versatility
Most QuickJack accessories were developed from customer suggestion and need. We offer many different lifting options and configurations to customize your QuickJack experience to fit your needs and specifications.

Extended Block Trays
We increased the size of our rubber block trays to improve access to varied lift points. Position blocks from 26.75" – 50.5" apart, satisfying most lift point spreads.

Zero-Leak Fittings
Our car lift components include flush-face hose fittings to ensure fluids stay in the unit and not on your garage floor. You don't want to be the one to leak all over the track, either.

Open-Center Design
Don't let us get in your way! Inspired by larger frame-engaging car lifts, our open-center design gives users total access to the wheels and undercarriage.

Using QuickJack
The QuickJack portable car lift is an extremely versatile tool unlike any you've ever seen. It features a completely open-center design, durable built-in wheels, rapid 30-second rise and heavy-duty lift capacities up to 7,000 lbs. The other standout feature is that QuickJack is a frame-engaging lift, so unlike other portable models, QuickJack allows you to perform full wheel service with the use of stands.

Professionals and DIY'ers alike will find QuickJack to be an incredibly useful tool. In the sections below, we've compiled just a small number of uses, testimonials and case studies to get your imagination going. If you need to work on a car, QuickJack has a solid place in your life. If you give it some thought, you'll probably think of something we haven't!

Residential
The most widespread use of QuickJack comes from homeowners using it as their primary garage lift. Most families don't have room for a standing in-ground auto lift, and anchor bolts are out of the question for some folks. QuickJack is more than just a mere alternative or "compromise." It's actually every bit as effective as the big hydraulic lifts that have come before it. There are tens of thousands of proud QuickJack owners to attest to that.

Auto Repair Shops
Even though virtually every auto shop in the world has at least one two-post lift to service vehicles, there are always more customer cars than there is space for equipment. In this case, it helps to have a portable car lift that works as a mobile backup or overflow lift. Roll it around very quickly, indoors or outdoors, and don't lose business just because your other lift is occupied. QuickJack is also useful in the event your main hoist is down for service.

Auto Detailing
It didn't happen overnight, but professional detailers were quick to get on the QuickJack bandwagon. It's so easy to maneuver around the shop, and it gets up to the perfect height for detailing work. This doesn't just apply to the pros, though. Home users will enjoy that QuickJack can get wet (go ahead and disconnect the power unit while you work, as long as the locks are in place). This means power washing, and fine detailing can be done with the vehicle lifted to a more ergonomic height.

Mobile Auto Repair
Nobody's schedule is getting easier, especially if you work at an office all day. Folks can use their precious days off babysitting their cars in the shop, or they can call you, a bonafide vehicle repair expert, to come right to their place of work and handle business in the parking lot while they earn that bacon. This is a major application for QuickJack that's still just being recognized. Mobile repair businesses need a portable lift to stay safe while they operate on hundreds of different vehicles, day in and day out.

Race Track Lift
QuickJack is the ultimate race track tool. When you're having a blast on track day drifting, timing your quarter or just seeing how fast your brand-spanking-new Z06 can maintain its top speed before petering out, chances are you're going to want to pull over for a tune-up or wheel swap. QuickJack eliminates the time otherwise spent jacking up a car. If there's no outlet nearby, a 12V DC power unit will run off your car's battery for total convenience. The frames are also lightweight and easy to transport in the trunk or backseats of many vehicles.

How It Works
QuickJack will make your garage life safer and more efficient. It will eliminate the corner-by-corner you perform with floor jacks during every tire rotation. There will be no more stressing over how much torque you're applying during brake changes. Sliding under cars for suspension work, oil changes, exhaust system swaps, detailing, etc. will all feel safer, and jobs will take less time. Even detailing jobs will be performed ergonomically and rapidly. As car buffs and gearheads ourselves, we hold one truth above all others: The best way to work is the only way to work.

Setup
QuickJack is easy to set up - no time-consuming installation procedures. After that initial setup, the frames and power unit would need to be accessible at any time (with the appropriate power supply at hand). QuickJack is easy to operate anywhere: indoors and on virtually any flat surface, all without the use of anchor bolts.

Operation
Second, QuickJack would have to be as easy to use as a full-sized car lift without taking up a lot of space. Since this is what floor jacks and jack stands accomplish, in order to be successful, our hydraulic lift would have to be safer, faster and easier to use on a daily basis. It would also need to offer complete access to the vehicle's undercarriage.

Storage
Last, QuickJack would need to be easy to take out of storage and to put away. It would need to be heavy-duty enough to lift most consumer vehicles yet light enough to glide on built-in wheels. If necessary, an operator should be able to carry the frames to and from the desired work area.

Never Buy Cheap Lifts
There are full-size car lift options out there for under $1,500. But should you trust them? You're sacrificing a lot when you pay that little for something so important. We'll break down what you're getting and why you should reconsider before making an investment you might come to regret.

QuickJack... or Car Lift?
When we talk about QuickJack as a portable car lift, we compare it to car jacks and jack stands. QuickJack is not meant to replace two-post lifts or four-post lifts. If you're in the market for a full-size car lift, you need room around the lift to spare. Living situations factor into whether you want something permanent or portable.

QuickJack is the average car guy's or gal's dream. It's fast and safe, and it's essentially zero-footprint when stowed away. If you want a full-sized car lift, our parent company BendPak makes the safest, most rugged car lifts you're going to find.
