Positioning the Lift Blocks and Frames
⚠
WARNING Always position the two QuickJack Frames as close to parallel as the Lifting Points
of the Vehicle allow; load stability can be compromised if they are too far off from
parallel.
There are two methods for positioning your QuickJack Frames:
•
Outside in : Drive the Vehicle to the desired location, position the QuickJack Frames outside the
Vehicle on each side and between the wheels. If the distance between the wheels is not long
enough to accommodate the length of the QuickJack Frames, turn the Frames and push one end
under the Vehicle first, then the other end. Quick Frame Handles are typically not required. Make
sure not to drive on or over the QuickJack’s Hydraulic Hoses. Slide each Frame to the desired
location under the Vehicle based on the factory-recommended Lifting Points.
Make sure each
Lock Bar is on the outside and visible .
•
Inside out
: Position the QuickJack Frames next to each other, drive the Vehicle above the
Frames, never drive on the frames . Use your Quick Frame Handles to pull each Frame out to
the desired location under the Vehicle based on the factory-recommended Lifting Points. Make
sure
not to drive on or over the QuickJack’s Hydraulic Hoses. Make sure each Lock Bar is
on the outside and clearly visible .
⚠
CAUTION
Before positioning the QuickJack Frames, make sure they are both fully lowered
and that your working area is clear of obstructions. Use the vehicle manufacturer’s
recommended lifting points only.
To position the QuickJack Frames
:
1. Determine the desired method for positioning your QuickJack Frames.
2. Position the Lift Blocks, Pinch-Weld Blocks, or SUV and Light Truck Adapters in the Receiver
Trays.
Note : You can stack one Medium and one Tall Lift Block together, but no more than that.
⚠
CAUTION
Do not raise any load on the Frames alone; always use Lift Blocks, Pinch-Weld
Blocks, or the SUV and Light Truck Adapters in the Receiver Trays.
3. Move the QuickJack Frames to the appropriate locations, based on positioning method.
4. If you are using the Inside out method, drive the Vehicle above the Frames.
5. Move the QuickJack Frames to the correct locations under the Vehicle based on the factory-
recommended Lifting Points.
⚠
WARNING If you do not know the factory-recommended Lifting Points for the Vehicle you are
raising, consult
Vehicle Lifting Points for Frame-Engaging Lifts , and SAE Standard
J2184,
Vehicle Lift Points for Service Garage Lifting
, as a resource to assist you in
the proper positioning of a Vehicle for raising (these documents are available on the
ALI website ). If the Vehicle has an additional or uniquely positioned payload, have
a qualified person calculate the Vehicle’s center of gravity or have the Vehicle center
of gravity determined at a Vehicle scale.
Adjust the Lift Blocks in the Receiver Trays so that they are underneath the factory-recommended
Lifting Points for the Vehicle you are raising. The QuickJack Frames and Lift Blocks are now
positioned correctly for raising a Vehicle.
Important : Make sure to account for radial shift when raising larger Vehicles on QuickJack.
