I would add to your design a plate on the bottom with a lip that would prevent the jack from jumping out from under it because the nature of these Jack's is to travel backyards as you're jacking the car up. Your invention is really useful for doing a ton of work underneath a car because it gets the tires out of the way yet is much safer than removing the tires in case somehow it were to fall. Thanks for posting!
Or you could just jack it up with just the jack and accomplish the same exact thing without having a giant heavy metal bar taking up all kinds of room in the shop
This is true yet you still people using things to roll on to to raise there car up higher to get underneath to work on your logic is a weird one as removing the tires would be common sense to not have the bar yet here we are having to explain to you like a child why you would use it. Guess you have not worked on enough vehicles in your day yet youngster
I didn't even watch the video, saw the first question and had to reply, I do it when I need to, just put on (axle) solid jack stands and let out the clutch slow, you can go thru the gears, brake, carefully because your spinning wheels have a lot of inertia in them. Didn't want you to go thru the garage wall, greenhorn. No question is stupid when still a little wet behind the ears
Well, *life* is risky -- everyone who has ever tried it has either died or is on their way to dying... 🙂 This sort of thing would not be used for extended periods, just like the floor jack that it relies upon should not be used for extended periods... It would be used to lift up the vehicle high enough that you could put proper jack stands or cribbing under the vehicle in appropriate load support locations...
This is a simple and interesting device, but it is only suitable for cars with a huge ground clearance. Most modern cars are not compatible with it. The device will only work with the back where there is a void. In front, there is the suspension, the engine crankcase, and its protection, there is barely 130 mm clear. In addition, a square pipe for heavy cars needs to be reinforced with scarves from the bottom to ensure sufficient rigidity. Because even in the video you can see how the pipe bends. After 10 lifts, it will take the shape of a hemisphere.
I would definitely say test it on different weight cars so you know it’s tension strength. This is a great build but I’d like to know it’s weight capacity.
@@gedman9527 . You are right that you should use axle stands but this is a great way to lift the car to put the axle stands in before you get under the car they make hoists that lift the whole car on four arms and they are safe. This would more than likely easily hold more than the jack could lift. If anything it is over engineered. The car probably weighs around 2,000kg which means 500kg per side on the stand, not really much for the size of the steel used.
Interesting design but I’d be hesitant to risk my life with that contraption as the ONLY thing supporting the car! I’d need additional redundancy, like a couple well placed jack stands to support the car once it’s up.
You're only risking your life if you are willing to get under the vehicle that is solely supported by this device, just like if you were willing to get under a vehicle solely supported by the floor jack. How this device SHOULD be used is to get a vehicle up high enough that you can put jack stands or cribbing under the *proper* support points and THEN remove this device so that you have room to work.
thats a good idea and well built. i would change piece in middle and make it go in the hole on the jack after removing the lift disc. but over all this is awesome
Nice first attempt. But it would be more useful for cars that can't move under own power if the 4 rods were wider, and are inserted into receivers. This way you position it under the car, insert the 4 rods front and aft of tires, and lift. Lower the car elsewhere or when done, pull out 4 rods, remove the assembly and jack.
You set the vehicle on jack stands as you should to begin with lol I think this device is intended to lift the vehicle at one rather than using the frame 👍
What is the brand of that blade, and can it be used on a regular chop saw such as a Rigid 14" chop saw? I like how it doesn't put off a ton of sparks and all the dust that comes from typical chop saw blades.
1) It will allow you get the car higher off the ground because the jack starts lifting the car at a lower point in the jack's range. 2) It keeps you from damaging the side seam on a unibody chassis trying to lift it. 3) Once you have it at the required height use jack stands or wood cribbing to support it.
Definitely need to get a lower profile and a better jack with a lower profile jack the round bars will all sit on the ground and I would put a bigger round pipe in the center for the jack. Yes I would Definitely use hevy duty jack stands
Thank you for the fantastic video! The advice on just using the jack without the need for a heavy metal bar is extremely practical. It makes the whole process more straightforward and helps save space in the workshop. Your explanation was thorough and very helpful. I appreciate the time and effort you put into creating these videos. Keep up the great work, and I can't wait to see more of your tips and tricks in the future!
estaba pensando que trabajo le va realizar al auto.... no veo mucha ventaja en levantarlo así.... tal vez trabajo con el escape o el tanque de la gasolina ( y sería incómodo) ...
Great idea, will be making my own. Will add a couple of threaded stantions like harbour freight to lift rear axle. Maybe insert heavy wall square tubing or solid square bar inside lifting beam for more center strength, weld in with rosette welds. Thanks again!

The steel car lifting bar looks great. But your Center is not strong Enough! You will lift a couple of times then it will collapse in the center. Please do not risk your own life.
I’d like to see something similar for raising large tires to install on lugs..I have a truck with 20 in wheels and 35 tires and I’m older now those things are heavy…maybe something exist for that?
Just use subframe mounts as jack points instead? What do you do when it's up in the air? You'd still want something other than a jack to hold it up while you get under the car. A pair of ramps would be even faster to use and easier to store. Nice metal work but not sure what problem it's solving!
This is a awesome job you have done here. Just a little suggestion,maybe add a couple tabs on the round bars to front and back to put a ratchet strap on. Maybe on a slight up angle, just a thought.
never trust a jack use jack stands. chock other wheels and a vehicle shake test. And never work alone! I know it cost me a $35000 helicopter ride to the hospital.
Love the idea, so why no just make it jack up both side but make it catch the shock or the axel or some other point that succure enough to lift both side. Your fab work was very impressive. Maybe just change your point of contact. Then you won't have to brive the vehicle over it and you could service everything under the vehicle without to hack up one side at a time!! Just my opinion brother!! Over all tho, great fab work!!
Really impressive tool, I will build one similar myself, but have ideas for modifications to where one could use it for cars as well concerning ground clearances to bottom of vehicle
A fun project and useful for certain applications. I always wondered if someone makes air-rams to mount permanently under a vehicle to lift either of the four wheels for a quick tire change like in the Indy 500 pits? Be nice if you could just hook up to a small compressor, lift either of the 4 off the ground, and it would always be there underneath for when & if you get a flat tire in the dark and/or during shitty weather.
@@Michael-DeltaWolf I’m sure with some mechanical engineering, electrical and metal fab skills one could custom build a system for their vehicle. I have the electronics and metalwork skills, just not the mechanical or hydraulic skills needed.
@@repairfreak I'm not saying it's not a good product it's just is missing something . You know like a the way a real car lift works but a mini version . Like instead of picking up the whole car you could pick up one ends like the front or the back and from the side's to.
Back in the day some British cars were fitted with 4 built in hydraulic jacks that were fed of an electrically driven pump. The driver could just reach down and all 4 wheels were jacked clear of the ground. Google Smiths Jackall
Clever design. Has a few practical and safety draw backs. Keep at it. Work safely. Not exactly sure what work you would use it for. Side access wheel dolleys would be more practical.
A little sketch, how did it get around the tire? Doesn't pivot like a tow truck stinger. Also needs to be taller so jack would clear without lifting on the jack pad. Still needs Jackstands for safety.
Good idea, but can’t see the point of it, you can’t do any work on the wheels, brakes or suspension. You can’t get the engine ‘splash guard’ of to do any work on the underside of the car, like draining the oil, changing the oil filter (if it’s on the bottom’) and all because of a big steel bar. Nice welding BTW.
One question!! What good does this do. You can't change the tire. You can't service the wheels or breakers !! Very nice fab work for sure , just don't get the point!! Other than that, great job!!!
Not having the tools to build it i would BUY one of those jack systems….brilliant when you need to get under your whole car, just add a couple of jack stands and work in total secure comfort1👍👍👍👍
Wouldn't need that often, could just use the jack by itself. That would come in handy for vans with the twin I- Beams though. You can't lift them up dead center in the front.
This thing gives me anxiety but safety stands can help, also this contraption is for tall vehicles not low clearance ground cars, overall nice time saver!
Se o carro mexer pra frente um pouco ele cai, ficou perigoso, se fizer as barras um pouco mais distantes para abracar melhor o pneu e deixar o centro de gravidade um pouco mais baixo vai ficar perfeito! Parabens pela idéia criativa!!!!
Good Idea,...except, I'd recommend "angled" braces be added underneath the Cross-bar to the End Support pieces. Plus add even more braces at the End pieces. Overall,...a great concept on lifting both axles.
I see this as a great time saving idea. I've driven vehicles up those cheap stamped sheet metal ramps and i've actually seen one collapse after the vehicle was up on both ramps. This looks well built. There are some things I would do differently but it would have to be made with a few different vehicles in mind. Lifting a vehicle by the tires like this eliminates the suspension sag. For those who point out that it is useless because the tires can't be removed for brake service or it is in the way for an oil change must be working under vehicles without using jack stands. I really hope that is not the case for that is extremely absent minded.🙄 This device allows a person to drive their car onto the rods, apply the parking brake, chock the wheels that are not being lifted, raise both sides of the car at the same time to the required height, install appropriate jack stands to both sides of the car without having to reposition the jack, lower the car onto the jack stands, and then remove the jack and lifting device. You are now uninhibited by the jack and lifting device.
@@peterwiremuormsby9383 Unless the vehicle has a solid axle housing on the front, the jack stands should be placed under the frame rails where they support the vehicle more securely than under a control arm. I'm sure you can find many reasons why you think it's a bad idea and maybe it is a bad idea for you, but maybe it's a great idea for others. Can you not find any possibility where this device could be helpful? Keep in mind that if you built one, you would design it to suit your application.
something to be built for the jack part itself, so it doesn't slip. can you raise it higher or was that the maximum height ? also, make connections for the jack stands to hold it, so you can make front and back ones. raise the whole car
would be a lot better used with a low clearance jack to bring down the height of it, great for transverse engines where they either have no jack point at the front or its off set due to the engine, g'box layout

But how will that help rotate the tires?
Or do a brake job? 😳
Put jack stands under the frame of the car.
1) It will allow you get the car higher off the ground because the jack starts lifting the car at a lower point in the jack's range. 2) It keeps you from damaging the side seam on a unibody chassis trying to lift it. 3) Once you have it at the required height use jack stands or wood cribbing to support it.
Nope it actually makes no sense to me, you can change the oil if the jack is in the way, can't take tires off to rotate or change brakes.
I can't figure out when you would use this when 2 jackstands would suffice. Of course it is cool to make things I do it all of the time.

push It ....
joke... good point... specially a heavy one.
You left out the part where you had to back the car onto it to use it...
And what are you doing I hope not breaks or anything with the wheels
And that would be a problem ...how?

I'm sure you can find many reasons why you think it's a bad idea and maybe it is a bad idea for you, but maybe it's a great idea for others. Can you not find any possibility where this device could be helpful? Keep in mind that if you built one, you would design it to suit your application.
@@markmccoy8304 sorry m8, it wouldn't be any good to me, l have a 57 Chev.
Love it where can I buy it
Great idea. Thanks for sharing that
6:11 How did it get under the wheels?? 🤔🙄
Interesting but how do you get the tire off . LoL 😂
Wouldn't work on my lincoln mks it sits too low to ground. Good piece of work.
mi carro es un poco bajo también...
How much does it weigh?. Looks very heavy !!
something to be built for the jack part itself, so it doesn't slip. can you raise it higher or was that the maximum height ? also, make connections for the jack stands to hold it, so you can make front and back ones. raise the whole car
would be a lot better used with a low clearance jack to bring down the height of it, great for transverse engines where they either have no jack point at the front or its off set due to the engine, g'box layout
Have you got a sizes list please any one cheers
Good for getting the whole front up so you know the jackstands will have the same height when you put them under.
Its cool but idk if I go under the truck with just that. 1 weld breaks and you're done
Good idea, there isn't much on the rear suspension of a FWD car to support lifting.
I would be hoping he's a really good welder.! More than happy to supplement it all with some really strong bolts...
I am not so good welding, but we learn everything every day
So you have to lift the car to put the rods under the wheels...........???
The 2 bars under the tires should be wider to have a better hold to help keep the car from trying to move...
Absolutely brilliant well done mate cheers
Excellent job
Das ist ja mal richtig geil. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
So, how are you supposed to remove the tires using this device if you’re doing a brake job?
This is as safe as the old style bumper jacks.
Much more so
Wouldn't get me under it
