I use it for the Macan and my Wife’s Audi SQ5. Not sure if it’s still available but Costco had the 5000 series available to buy at quite a savings.

 

Thank you! Did you get the SLX or EXT version?

 

I got to demo these last year at SEMA - they are very cool, very portable, seem very sturdy, seem to have a good locking mechanism and dont require compressed air - just the hydraulic motor supplied. Once the vehicle is lifted and locked into place, you can disconnect the lines and it is essentially like a traditional jack stand. They come with a set of small and large blocks. They sell an optional SUV adapter that will get you an additional 4" over the large blocks.

If I dont buy a portable mid rise lift, I will be getting one of these for the home garage.

 

I also have the 5000SLX from Costco. It works great. The Macan lift points are surprisingly pretty far apart, but within the limits of the quickjack frame.

The lift height makes changing oil a breeze, considering you have to remove the underpanel which goes all the way to the middle of the car almost.

I am going to get me a set. I can't wait to use them.

 

Picking a nit here but it's not really a "set". It's 1 unit consisting of motor/pump, hoses and (2) lifting units. Can get either a 120v or 12v (IIRC) unit. I have the 120v unit and have used it on my 997 but not yet lifted the Macan with it. I believe they have both attachments to extend the wheelbase length of the base unit and a longer/higher lift unit for trucks and larger SUV's.

 

Not a Macan...but here's my Lexus up on my lift. Same idea as the quickjack (scissor lift) but a mid-rise and flush mounted. Has been one of the greatest things I've installed in the garage for working on vehicles. If you're considering a quickjack (which I did as well), put some serious thought into going with a bigger lift. The extra height and convenience of this one was well worth it.

 

This lift is not as useful for working on vehicles such as the Macan with full belly covers that run the entire length of the vehicle. The lift is so wide I doubt you have access to remove the covers to do any work underneath.

 

Do you really have to dig 2 holes in your garage to install it? A friend of mine has a big lift system in his garage taller than a person and I don’t remember any floor modification.

 

I suspect that @SomeGuy did that excavation work in order to be able to leave the lifts in place, and have their tops flush with the rest of the garage floor, to save dragging or carrying them to some out-of-the-way place when not in use. Interesting idea, IMO.

 

Thanks to all for their comments and help!

 

Wow that looks like a construction job.

 

@SomeGuy

Just added that to my bucket list.

 

You need to buy the extensions ($200) to accommodate the Macan. I have a QuickJack 5000 and it is a stretch to use it on the Macan. I did it for a tire change but the jacking points only partially overlapped with the QuickJack. I wouldn’t get under the car this way. I plan to buy the extensions for next time.

 

I put my Quickjack pads (the taller ones) perpendicular to the Macan lift points. The 5000lb model seems to work fine for me without the need of the extension kit mentioned. It is near the length limits, but lifts and holds safely IMO.

Great, glad someone had the same thinking as me. I just bought the extenders this morning for peace of mind though.

 

Home Depot has a good price for the Quick Jack. $1099 for the 5000# model, $1299 for the 7000#. Free shipping.

 

Finally received the extensions and it worked like a charm! Now time to get to work >

Can you post a picture of what the extensions look like. Thanks

 

I got the ones from Costco and ordered the extensions from Quickjack. I used them so I can take off my wheels and ceramic coat them. Worked great wish I would have had them sooner.

 

Whoa! I didn't know that you were supposed to take the wheels & tires off to wash the car! I've been doing it wrong all these years! >

 

Oh! I think I see it now. Long metal plate on Top?

 

Bad picture but here it is. Just a longer metal piece that sits inside the original section.

 

$200 for 2 metal plates!!

 

Yes they are a big metal plate and well worth it. They help make sure you clear to the outside edge of each lift point on the Macan. $200 is a bit much but get the lift from Costco or Home Depot if unable to do from Costco. Take the money saved from getting it from Quickjack and buy the extensions. Even with the shipping charge from the you come out cheaper than getting the lift from Quickjack.


Edit:

I don't have much going on this weekend. I will try and go out and take a bunch of pics of the lift to show with and without extensions and such so people thinking about this lift can make a decide if they want them or not.

 

Here are pics of the complete system and of the standard lift without extensions. I use the biggest blocks.

 

Here are pics using the extensions. Where I did this was not perfectly level.

 

Costco has the 5000 on sale here for $600. Had been in contact with QuickJack eons ago, but shipping made it impractical. Contacted them again asking Jacob Soriano for cost of shipping the extension and pads up here. Alas the 5000 will not work on the Touareg as it's too heavy (nor my skid steer...).

I offered to buy them yesterday if they could just hold them to Saturday as I can't get a truck and help with them, they said "sorry we don't do that". Incredible. Will go back Saturday, if they have them fine if not they don't. Alas Home Deport doesn't have them as I know they'd hold them a couple of days. And they wonder why Amazon is eating them alive...

Sorry to revive an old thread, but I am looking at the QuickJack. Is there any additional information on whether these are still a good option?

Should I get the 7000 instead of the 5000? I would definitely get the extensions as noted the standard is just a few inches too short for the Macan

I am also seeing there is a 5000EXT that offers 6 inches of additional length....would this be the best choice?

 

Oh to have a nice large roomy shop with a full size lift...Not! Next best choice for me has been the QuickJack BL-5000SLX that I bought to use with my previous car, an '09 Carrera. It worked great for that car, but I found the jack points on the Macan slightly out of range. QuickJack has added extensions so I got those and now all's well. Here's a few pictures of how Zelda got her skirt lifted today.

Rail with extension.

Jackpad extensions in place, ready to lift.

First position yields 20" sill to floor clearance.

Fully extended shows 23" clearance.

Ready for some maintenance!

 

That looks pretty spiffy.

 

I have the same quickjacks but haven’t tried putting a macan up yet. So you need to buy something else to hit factory lift points?

 

Yes. Read opening post again. Max reach of the BL-5000SLX on the Macan lift points was just not enough for me. The QJ extensions give an additional 6” and are just right. I’m satisfied now getting underneath this beauty.

 

I’ll pick up the QJ extension then. Thanks a lot and good luck!
