Has anyone done a more permanant Maxjax install?

[jetranger]

I am thinking about purchasing a Maxjax. I have enough room to leave the posts installed all the time, so I'd like a more permanent install of the cart. I like the look of the setup, but don't really like the unfinished look of a cart just sitting in the open, split between the two posts. And no, I'd rather not unhook it and wheel it away every time I finish using it.

Has anybody mounted the pump anywhere? Had new lines made so they go to a specific location in the garage? Hard wired the unit?

Thanks!

To the rear of one of the columns. And the hose you do a permanent installation in the air or under the ground buried in a pvc tube

Cool, has this been done or just a suggestion from you?

Thanks

It has been done by other fellow garage journal members, not me. There are several threads that about hoses, the unit hanged in one of the columns or in the wall and permanent installations.

If it was me I would put the unit in the wall and hoses by air to the columns

Yeah, I put mine in with hoses routed up overhead then across to the wall on which I perm mounted the pump assembly. It's all out of the way now -- nice and tidy and no hoses to trip over. I protected the wall mounted pump with a cage of sorts so I wouldn't puncture the reservoir with some errant bone-headed move with a 2x4 or something similar....

I made/mounted a pump plate for my Triumph, on a column.

If it's a permanent install why not just get a standard 2-post lift? They make them for lower ceilings now IIRC.
