Long Term Storage on GoJaks
Can You Store a Car on GoJaks Long-Term?
Technically, yes, but it’s not the best solution for long-term storage due to a couple of factors. Periodic maintenance would be required to help ensure no vehicle damage.
Long-Term Storage Risks
- Tire Flat-Spotting – The car’s weight is concentrated on small rollers, which can cause tire deformation.
- Suspension Stress – Keeping a vehicle lifted for an extended period can lead to unnecessary strain.
- Potential Movement – If not properly secured, vibrations or accidental contact could cause the vehicle to shift.
- Frame & Chassis Considerations – Unlike jack stands (which lift at designated points), GoJaks lift the wheels, which might not be ideal for weight distribution over long periods.
🔧 Suggestions for Long-Term Car Storage
If you absolutely have to store a vehicle on GoJaks for an extended period, here are some tips to help reduce risk.
- Once the vehicle is in its final position, cycle down some or all of GoJaks to keep the vehicle from moving and relieve stress on the car suspension
- Periodically cycle the GoJaks up and turn the wheels to lessen any risk of flat spotting on the tire
🚗 Verdict
GoJaks are excellent for maneuvering and short-term positioning, but if you're looking for a long-term storage solution, please keep these recommendations in mind to ensure a positive outcome.
