Quickjack 6000 and 8000 Models Australia

QuickJack has replaced the 5000 and 7000 series with two new models, the 6000 and the 8000. Both are now available in Australia through Organised Workshop.

The short version: more lifting capacity, properly reworked hydraulics, and the same low-profile portable frames that made QuickJack worth buying in the first place.

What's replacing what

• The 6000TL and 6000TLX replace the 5000 series, lifting up to 2,722 kg. That's roughly 450 kg more than the model they replace, in the same footprint.
• The 8000TL and 8000TLX replace the 7000 series, lifting up to 3,629 kg. These are the heaviest-duty QuickJacks made, aimed at dual cab utes, large 4WDs and light trucks.

Alongside them sits the 6000ELX, the extended-reach model built for electric vehicles and long-wheelbase luxury sedans whose jacking points sit too far apart for a standard frame.

The changes that actually matter

Most of the real work in this generation happened inside the power unit, which is the part the marketing tends to skip.

A pressure-compensated flow divider. Both frames now rise and lower in sync even when one end of the car is noticeably heavier than the other. On the old units an uneven load could pull one side ahead of the other.

Independent shut-off solenoids on each cylinder. Stop mid-cycle on the old design and one side could creep while the other held. These keep the car level when you pause to grab a tool.

Stiffer frames. Thicker cross members, revised weld geometry and stronger pivot joints to carry the extra capacity. Importantly, none of it added height or bulk.

What hasn't changed

Everything that made these usable in a normal garage carries over.

• The profile. Still collapses to 89 mm on the 6000TL and TLX, or 95 mm on the 8000 series, so it still slides under low cars.
• The speed. Still about 30 seconds from the ground to full rise.
• The safety locks. Dual-position mechanical locks engaging automatically at mid-rise and full-rise, so the car's weight sits on steel rather than hydraulic pressure.
• Storage. Built-in urethane wheels for rolling the frames around, and they still stand flat against a wall or hang off the official wall hangers.
• Power. Australian units run on standard 240V mains, straight into a normal power point.
• Your accessories. Pinch weld blocks, SUV and truck adapters and wall hangers all carry across from the old models.

If you already own a 5000 or 7000

You don't need to rush out and replace a working lift. The upgrade case is worth considering if you've changed vehicles and you're now close to your current model's capacity, which is a common story as dual cabs and heavier SUVs replace sedans on Australian driveways.

Frame lengths are close enough between generations that if a 5000TL fitted your car, a 6000TL will too. Your existing accessories carry over either way.

Which one do you need?

It comes down to three measurements: your vehicle's weight, the spread between its jacking points, and its ground clearance. Capacity tells you 6000 or 8000. Lift point spread tells you TL, TLX or ELX.
