Quickjack BL-5000SLX reviewed & what’s the difference between Kwik Lift KL2500 mobile ramp car lift
Review of the Quick Jack BL-5000SLX and compared to the differences between the Kwik Lift KL2500 mobile car ramp lift.
In this video I demonstrate settings up the Quick jack and lifting this Lexus rx300. Before I bought this one I did some research on the differences between the quickjack and the Kwik lift. These are very similar in design with the main differences being the Kwiklift has additional wheels on the bottom which aids manoeuvring under the car. The other big difference is the hydraulic ram, the quick jack has compressed air which helps lower the lift when no weight is on it whereas the Kwik lift has an internal spring. The Kwik lift has a higher lifting capacity of 2500kg. Size wise, there’s very slight differences but what I do like about the quick jack is it’s slightly lower with the small blocks which helps on lower cars. The quick jack also comes with two sets of blocks, a small and a large.
Generally the quick jack is more expensive than the Kwik lift by about £100 but I managed to to get the quick jack from Costco for just over £800 which was a great price inc delivery. The guys over at Kwik lift weren’t really interested in giving me a discount so quick jack it was.
These are a fantastic buy and so much easier to use than a trolley jack and axle stands, I can get these into the boot of a car, if it’s a smaller car you’ll need to put the passenger seat forward. They’re not to heavy so easy enough to lift into the boot.
Quick Jack BL-5000SLX
Meet your new best friend in the garage and at the track. The 5,000-lb. capacity BL-5000SLX car lift is the ultimate tool for DIY’ers and race enthusiasts. It covers most vehicle types and takes up very little space. This lift is extremely versatile and surprisingly lightweight (it’s also our most popular model). Fits Porsche, Corvette, Mustang and more!
Automatic safety locks
Features dual-position automatic safety locks. As the frames rise, these locks glide securely into place. Disengage with a simple flip of the lock bar and your car lift is ready for a smooth descent.
Reduced overall length
We shaved off 3” end-to-end. This makes QuickJack easier to stow in tight spaces and more able to service vehicles with narrow wheelbases. The maximum lift point reach is unaffected by the change.
Improved lift point access
By extending each rubber block tray an inch toward the center of the frame, the minimum lift point reach is now 2” less than it was before. This allows our portable car lift to accommodate smaller vehicles, like Porches, with ease.
One-handed operation
By holding the pendant control in one hand, your other hand is totally free. No cranking or bending during “liftoff.”
