THEODORE, Ala., May 13, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- QuickJack™, a division of leading lift manufacturer BendPak Inc., has rolled out a series of comprehensive upgrades across its entire line of portable car lifts, including brand-new models capable of raising heavier vehicles than ever. The newly introduced QuickJack 6000TL and 6000TLX models are rated for 6,000 pounds, while the 8000TL and 8000TLX can handle up to 8,000 pounds — the most powerful QuickJack units to date.
QuickJack frame-engaging lifts use a patented design to raise a vehicle about two feet in the air quickly and safely. They offer a smarter, more convenient alternative to ramps and jacks — perfect for use at home, at the track, at the shop, or on the go.
Comprehensive Upgrades
All QuickJack models now feature a completely reengineered electric/hydraulic power unit with a pressure-compensated flow divider that ensures both lift frames rise and lower in perfect unison. Independent shut-off solenoids on each hydraulic cylinder eliminate the risk of pressure imbalance when the lift is stopped mid-cycle, ensuring even more reliable and level lifting performance.
But the improvements go beyond hydraulics. QuickJack engineers have also reinforced several key structural components, enhancing overall rigidity and long-term durability under heavier loads. These changes include thicker cross members, improved weld geometry, and updated pivot joints to reduce flex and maintain alignment through the full range of motion.
“Our customers trust QuickJack for its portability and ease of use, but we knew we could go even further,” said Jeff Kritzer, BendPak president and QuickJack inventor. “The new hydraulic system is a big leap forward, but so are the structural enhancements that make these lifts stronger, safer, and more capable than ever.”
To further simplify setup, QuickJack now preassembles the hydraulic systems at the factory, saving customers time and ensuring every unit performs exactly as intended right out of the box.
New Models, More Capacity
The upgraded hydraulic and structural systems paved the way for the newest high-capacity models, each capable of lifting 1,000 pounds more than its predecessor without adding bulk or sacrificing portability.
New models include:
- 6000TL: 6,000 lbs. capacity, 24-in. lift height, 70-in. frame, 3-in. collapsed height
- 6000TLX: 6,000 lbs. capacity, 24-in. lift height, 76-in. frame, 3-in. collapsed height
- 8000TL: 8,000 lbs. capacity, 24.25-in. lift height, 70.75-in. frame, 3.5-in. collapsed height
- 8000TLX: 8,000 lbs. capacity, 24.5-in. lift height, 76-in. frame, 3.5-in. collapsed height
The 6000TL, 6000TLX, 8000TL and 8000TLX have passed rigorous third-party safety testing and are certified by the Automotive Lift Institute (ALI), meeting or exceeding the industry’s most demanding standards.
Familiar Footprint, Enhanced Performance
Despite their increased strength, the new lifts retain the same slim profile and compact footprint that QuickJack is known for. A pendant controller makes one-handed operation easy, and the updated mechanical safety locks engage automatically at two lift heights. Durable urethane wheels allow users to roll and stow the lift effortlessly when not in use.
“These new models provide extra peace of mind to customers with heavier vehicles or those working right at the limits of previous lift capacities,” Kritzer added. “We kept the look and convenience of the QuickJack that people love — and we made it even better.”
The entire accessory lineup remains compatible with the new models, including adapters, frame extensions, and motorcycle/ATV kits.
The new TL and TLX models join the full QuickJack lineup, which spans from the ultra-portable BL-3500SLX to the extended-range 6000ELX, with lifting points from 47.5 to 76 inches.
All QuickJack lifts include a standard one-year warranty, with optional two-year extended coverage available.
