Talk Morgan Forums Morgan Sports Cars Morgan Plus Four, Supersport & Plus Six (CX & CXV Generation Vehicles) CX Car Lifts

Hello Mogsters,

I have been looking at lift systems for a Plus 4 CX. I am aware of several available, including the EZ lift and others - my main requirement is the ability to storing it easily when not in use. The best one I (think) I have found is the Quick Jack, which comes as two separate lift units with a common hydraulic power pack, and which can be hung on the wall independently. Here is a link: https://www.amazon.com/stores/page/...bl_ast_dp_brandLogo_sto&ref_=ast_bln

Any comments welcome.

Thanks, David.

The essential problem with lifts is that easier they are to move, the flimsier they are. EZ lift designs are ok but as they lift under the wheels, you still have to figure out how to raise the car to get a wheel off. I've had my lift since 2017 and by far the most common use case is lifting the car to remove one or more wheels.

So I have a scissor type lift (Strongman Tamar, other equally good brands are available) and although it's moveable I've never had the need to do so. It just sits in the garage and I park the Morgan on top of it. It's so handy to use I even lift the car to check the tyre pressures.

Scissor lifts are especially handy to use with Morgans because you can put the rubber pucks direct on the lift rails and lift the car direct on the chassis rails. The front and rear wheels, engine and rear suspension are all easily available, the only bits the scissor obstructs are the flat floor boards which are hardly ever needed to be accessed.

Hello David,

I've got the Quickjacks. I am happy about them . They come in different capacities. Mine are even sturdy enough for our 1,2 ton Tiguan and it feels safe to work underneath.
the 50-60 cm working height is really not much but the ceiling is low and I'm still young...
I would recommend a 12V hydraulic pump so you can take them to places where there is no wall socket and take the current from your car battery.

Regards,

Mines a Bendpak scissor lift, very heavy to move and heavy gauge steel (400kg) used in it's fabrication, which is great 'cos I don't want a flippy floppy thing when your safety is at risk

Like Tim H above, a plank either side and just park the Roadster over it

I have an EZ Carlift

Easy to store


If you look closely, I use a block & tackle to lift it from the floor to the wall hangers (and vice versa)

Great for bringing the Morgan up to a comfortable height to work on / under
