The Model C portable car lift is a stable, two-post lift for shops, mobile technicians, and DIY enthusiasts—no concrete required.
It installs in minutes and comes in corded-electric or battery-powered versions for stationary or mobile use, making it perfect for home garages, workshops, and on-the-go repairs. The top brace features automatic up-and-down movement, and the open two-post design provides full undercar access without a permanent footprint.
Hitch it to your truck and tow it wherever you need it.
Made in California. No concrete ever.
Model C’s high-capacity battery pack solves the biggest challenge at remote job sites. With 8–12 full lift cycles per charge, you can work an entire day without stopping to find power. No extension cords running across driveways. No noisy generators.
No awkward “Sorry, I can’t do this job here.”

Unlike so-called “portable” lifts on the market, electric lifts are best suited for occasional use. Commercial-grade hydraulic lift systems are the industry standard for a reason—fewer moving parts, simpler mechanics, and longer service life under heavy cyclic loading.


Wide base plates distribute weight safely. Works on garage floors, asphalt, even epoxy coating.
Integrated hydraulic cylinders. No complex electrical components to fail. No battery degradation over time. Just proven industrial hydraulic technology that shops have relied on for decades.
Every lift takes 2-3 minutes of non-revenue time. Multiply by 20 lifts/day × 20 workdays = 13-20 hours per month doing what Model C does automatically.
The Portable Model C card hoist changes the game. Top Brace Automatic Up & Down Movement – No manual adjustments required. The hydraulic pressure is built up in the pump and controlled through the electromagnetic valve. The cylinder pushes against the slide on which the lifting arms are fixed. As the arms are being lifted, the safety mechanism drops into the latches to prevent the hoist from falling due to the failure in the hydraulic system.
Dual automatic locking systems (mechanical + hydraulic). If power dies mid-lift, your vehicle stays locked at height. Wide base plates distribute 15,600 lbs across four contact points at less than 120 PSI—your garage floor handles 150 PSI from parked cars. This isn't rented equipment from overseas. It's American-welded steel built to work daily for 20+ years.
5.75 - 6.16 Feet of lift height means standing upright, not crawling on your knees. Transmission drops, exhaust work, suspension overhauls—everything a professional shop does. But it folds away when you're done. Serious collectors use it to rotate seasonal vehicles. Mobile mechanics use it to steal shop customers. Small shops use it to reconfigure bays daily.
Renting? Landlord won't approve anchoring? Model A doesn't modify your building. Post-tension slab from 2005? No problem—no drilling required. Need to move it between bays? 20 minutes. Want to take it to your new location next year? Load it up. Your $12,000 stays yours, not your landlord's. Don’t settle for static lifts or limited tools—invest in the Model A portable car hoist and redefine what’s possible in your workspace. This isn’t just about lifting vehicles—it’s about lifting your entire operation. This is the only car lift system you’ll ever need to get the job done and done right.
In the high-pressure world of vehicle maintenance, success depends on tools that can keep up with your pace. Fixed lifts might do the job, but they dominate your workspace and limit your flexibility. The MaxJax M7K changes the game. This portable, stowable lift adapts to your needs, letting you reconfigure your shop or garage on the fly. It's not just a lift – it’s a smarter, more efficient way to work.
