The 8 Best Lawn Mower Lifts

1. MoJack EZ Max Lawn Mower Lift – Best Overall

Our favorite lawn mower lift, the MoJack EZ Max, offers a great blend of safety and performance at a reasonable price. It’s got a maximum weight capacity of 450 pounds, making it strong enough to lift most residential mowers and even some commercial mowers. With a max lift height of 24 inches, you’ll have plenty of room to work under your mower without feeling cramped.

Thanks to the adjustable supports that span from 18.5 inches to 47.5 inches, you’ll be able to fit almost any mower on this lift. You can easily raise the lift by turning the handle. If you want a faster way to jack your mower up, try hooking your power drill to the handle instead and you can have your mower elevated in mere seconds.

When you’re done working with your lift, you can easily fold it flat to make it easier to store. It won’t work with push mowers, but it’s the perfect option for almost any riding mower aside from the heaviest commercial units. Overall this is the best lawn mower lift available this year.

2. Goplus Lawn Mower Lift with Hydraulic Jack – Best Value

Despite being one of the cheapest lifts on our list, this lift from Goplus is actually one of our favorites, offering great performance at such an affordable price. It’s even got a higher weight capacity than our top pick at 500 pounds, which is why we think it’s one of the best lawn mower lifts for the money.

You can adjust both wheel holds separately to ensure a great fit for almost any riding mower. Once lifted, you’ll have 24 inches of clearance to work with. The whole unit weighs just 51 pounds and it’s on wheels, so you shouldn’t have a hard time moving it around. And you can also use it on your other small vehicles, such as ATVs and UTVs, not just riding mowers.

To save space, this lift folds up when it’s time to put it away. However, there’s no way to lock it into the folded position. If you stand it up, the wheels will likely slip out, opening the device with a loud and startling bang. But if you simply store it in another position, you get a great lawn mower lift at a cheap price with only a minor tradeoff.

3. Larin Corporation LMLF-750 Lawn Mower Lift – Premium Choice

The LMLF-750 lawn mower lift from the Larin Corporation is one of the most expensive products on this list. It’s also one of the strongest, which is why it’s our premium choice pick. This lift has a maximum weight capacity of 750 pounds, making it a great choice for lifting up even the heaviest commercial riding mowers.

Not only does this lift offer a higher weight capacity than the competition, but it also gives you more room to work with a 26-inch lift. Thanks to the solid construction, you’ll feel confident when you’re underneath your mower with only this lift holding up all that weight.

There’s a 1-year warranty included with this machine in case there are any problems, though we don’t think you’re likely to experience any issues. It’s a great machine that offers more strength than others, but you’ll be paying a premium for extra security.

4. Pro Lift T-5300E Lawn Mower Jack Lift

We really like the affordable pricing of the Pro Lift T-5300E lawn mower jack lift. It’s a nice little device, but it’s got a much lower weight capacity than many competitors, making us feel far less safe beneath it. Granted, it’s light and maneuverable at just 55 pounds, but we prefer the peace of mind that a higher weight capacity provides. Plus, you can’t safely lift larger riding mowers on this weaker lift.

This jack is very easy to lift, thanks to the non-slip foot pedal. While your foot won’t slide during lifting, the whole lift will slide under load, which is our biggest complaint regarding this machine. It never quite feels stable. We felt that it slid around too much once there was a mower on it for us to feel comfortable. Still, it’s an affordably priced tool if you have a lightweight mower. We just wouldn’t trust it with anything heavy.

5. COPACHI Push Lawn Mower Lift

Not all mowers are riding mowers. If you have a push mower, you’re still in luck with the COPACHI push lawn mower lift. This little device is far cheaper than the lifts designed for riding mowers. Of course, it also has a much lower weight capacity of just 110 pounds. And it only works with push mowers. You can’t put a riding mower on this lift, which is unfortunate, giving its affordable price.

With this lift, you’ll get 22 inches of working space beneath your push mower. It’s a well-built lift, which is backed up with a three-year warranty. Overall, it’s a great deal and a great tool, but its limited usefulness and low weight capacity mean that we can’t rank it any higher than mid-list.

6. MoJack HDL Lawn Mower Lift

Looking at the specs of the MoJack HDL lawn mower lift, it seems like a great choice. We thought the same thing at first as well. It’s got a 24-inch lifting height with a maximum capacity of 500 pounds, keeping its performance squarely on par with similar products. This one is a bit pricier than other models, but it seems pretty well built at first glance.

Upon further inspection, this turned out to be a pretty disappointing product. The hydraulic jack isn’t well built, and it started leaking pretty quickly. Within 6 months, it had given out entirely.

Even when the hydraulic portion worked, this lift was a poor choice for zero-turn mowers. Most zero-turn motors will require removing the anti-scalp wheel to work with this lift, which is far more hassle than it’s worth. Especially since there are many other lifts available that are compatible with zero-turn mowers without any issue or extra work.

7. Pro Lift T-5305 Lawn Mower Lift

Sometimes, you get what you pay for. Other times, things are priced higher than the value we get out of them. The Pro Lift T-5305 lawn mower lift fits into the latter category. Granted, this machine does offer a few great features. For instance, it’s got a great lifting height of 26 inches with a hefty 500-pound weight capacity.

Still, for the price, this lift doesn’t offer much. It’s got a weak 90-day warranty period while other lifts we tested offer 1 or even 3 years of warranty. Worse, ours was missing hardware when we got it, so we weren’t able to use it. The hardware eventually got sent to us, but it was a frustrating experience, especially for such an expensive lift.

8. CAT Mower Side Lift

The CAT mower side lift is an interesting lawn mower lift jack and we wanted to like it. Rather than lift the front of your mower, this device lifts your mower up sideways, providing up to 30 inches of working space. It’s also very simple to use, though the jack isn’t large enough for many mowers to fit all the way on it.

This mower lift is quite a bit pricier than other lifts we tested. For the price, we expected a very nice machine, but it’s poorly finished and doesn’t look or feel as quality as we had hoped. We also noticed that the hydraulic pump leaks, which has us questioning the long-term reliability of this lift. There are so many options available that offer solid performance at a fraction of the price, so we can’t recommend this one.

Buyer’s Guide – Choosing the Best Lawn Mower Lift Jack

It can be intimidating to crawl under a lawnmower to make repairs, especially if you’re not used to it. Can you trust the lift you purchased? What if you bought the wrong one and your heavy mower comes crashing down on your head?

These are serious questions and we understand that it can be difficult to choose a device to trust that will hold hundreds of pounds over your head. Luckily, we’ve tested so many of these machines that we’ve figured out exactly what to look for when picking a lawn mower lift, and we’re going to share that knowledge with you in this buyer’s guide.

What to Look for in a Lawn Mower Lift

When you’re looking at all of these different lifts, it can be hard to tell what variables to compare. After testing so many, we’ve narrowed down all the differences to the five that matter the most. Decide what you need in these five categories and then you’ll be able to make an easy decision of which lift fits your needs best.

Weight Capacity

When picking a lawn mower lift, the most important thing to consider is if it can safely lift and support your mower. Mowers come in different sizes and can be drastically different weights. As such, not every lift is compatible with all mowers.

If you really want to be safe, you’ll have to check the owner’s manual of your mower to see how much it weighs. But keep in mind, your lift won’t have to hold that entire weight. It will only have to hold about half of that weight.

Still, we feel that it’s best to get a lift that has a higher weight capacity than you need. This just ensures that you’re never at risk since you’re well under the machine’s certified weight limit.

If you have a larger mower, you’ll need a lift with a higher weight capacity. Commercial mowers will need the highest weight capacity possible, as some of these can get quite hefty. Naturally, stronger lifts are often more expensive, so be sure to factor that in.

Lifting Height

Lifting your mower allows you to get access to the underside for repairs. But how much access you get depends on how high your lift can elevate your mower. If your lift has a low lifting height, then you might struggle to work beneath it.

Roughly 24 inches seems to be the average lifting height for a lawn mower lift. We’d recommend avoiding any lifts that don’t at least reach this height. Some lifts can provide some extra height with a 26-inch lifting height and we’ve even seen some that can lift 30 inches.

Adjustability

Mowers aren’t just different weights, they’re different sizes as well, with varying wheel widths and spacing. To ensure compatibility with your mower, you’ll need to check how adjustable the wheel holds on your lift are. Most lifts have adjustable supports, but you’ll have to measure your mower’s wheels to make sure they’ll fit.

Storage

What are you going to do with the lift while it’s not in use? These are pretty sizable tools and can take up a large space in your garage or workshop. Thankfully, some of these devices fold up so they can be easily stored without taking up much space. But not every lawn mower lift offers this feature. If space is important to you, we suggest prioritizing this functionality.

Price

You could spend a little or a lot on your lawnmower lift. But just because you purchase an expensive lift doesn’t mean you’re going to use everything you paid for. If you have a relatively small residential mower, there’s likely no reason to purchase an expensive lift with a 750-pound weight capacity because a smaller, cheaper lift will do just as well for your situation. Figure out exactly what you need from your lift, then try to find the most reasonably-priced option that offers everything you’re looking for.

Conclusion

We’re pretty big on DIY, which means completing our own repairs. For completing repairs on our riding mowers, we needed the right lift to give us access to the underside. An unsafe lift can get you crushed, and with so much riding on the line, we had to make sure that we were thorough when conducting our reviews.

After all was said and done, our favorite lift was the MoJack EZ Max residential riding lawn mower lift. It’s got a weight capacity of 450 pounds with a 24-inch lift. You can speed up the lifting process with a power drill and when you’re all done, the whole thing folds flat for easy storage.

If you’re looking for a cheaper alternative, we suggest the Goplus lawn mower lift with a hydraulic jack. It’s priced lower than most alternatives, but still offers a 24-inch lifting height and 500-pound weight capacity.

And if you want a premium product that’s capable of lifting commercial riding mowers with ease, then we recommend the LMLF-750 lawn mower lift from the Larin Corporation. It’s got a 26-inch maximum lift with a weight capacity of 750 pounds and a one-year warranty to top it all off.
