MoJack 45014 Push Lawn Mower Lift - 40 Pound Lift Capacity, Residential Push Mowers, Easy to Assemble & Dissassemble, Mower Parts & Accessories, 16.3" D x 18.1" W x 17.9" H Review

Overview

The MoJack 45014 isn’t a mower at all—it’s a push mower lift designed to make blade sharpening, cleaning, and maintenance a solo job instead of a wrestling match. With a 40-pound lift capacity and a compact, tool-free assembly, it’s built for homeowners with standard residential push mowers who want to avoid tipping their machine on its side (and dealing with oil spills or carburetor flooding). If you’ve ever balanced a mower on a cinder block, this lift is your upgrade.

Who Should Buy This

• Homeowners who sharpen their own blades – If you’re tired of flipping your mower over and draining oil into your driveway, this lift gives you safe access to the blade deck without the mess.
• DIY lawn equipment tinkerers – Whether you’re changing spark plugs, cleaning the undercarriage, or replacing wheels, the lift holds the mower steady at a comfortable working height.
• Small lawn owners with push mowers under 40 lbs – Ideal for residential mowers like Honda, Toro, or Craftsman. If your mower weighs more than 40 pounds, you’ll need a heavier-duty lift.
• Garage organizers who hate clutter – The MoJack 45014 disassembles in seconds without tools and stores flat, taking up less space than a milk crate.

Key Features Breakdown

• 40-Pound Lift Capacity – This is the critical number. Most standard push mowers weigh between 35 and 55 pounds. If your mower is on the lighter side (like a 21-inch aluminum-deck Honda), you’re golden. Heavier steel-deck mowers? Check your owner’s manual first.
• Easy Assembly & Disassembly – No tools required. The lift snaps together with locking pins and folds flat for storage. Expect assembly to take under 5 minutes out of the box.
• Dimensions: 16.3″ D x 18.1″ W x 17.9″ H – Compact footprint means it fits in a corner of the garage or on a shelf. The height is low enough to slide under most mower decks without lifting the mower onto the lift first.
• Residential Push Mower Specific – This isn’t for ride-on mowers, zero-turns, or commercial machines. It’s designed for the common walk-behind mower with a rear or side discharge.
• All-Steel Construction – The frame is welded steel with a powder-coated finish. It feels solid when you lock the mower into place, with no wobble during blade work.

Pros

1. Ends the “tip-and-spill” routine – No more tipping your mower on its side, which can send oil into the air filter or carburetor. The lift keeps the mower upright, saving you from a costly repair.
2. Tool-free assembly – Seriously, it clicks together. You’ll spend more time reading the manual than actually putting it together.
3. Stable and secure – The mower sits in a cradle with safety locks. Even when you’re cranking on a stubborn blade bolt, the lift doesn’t shift.
4. Compact storage – Folds flat to about the size of a large pizza box. Perfect for small garages or sheds.
5. Affordable at $34.99 – Compare that to a shop trip for a blade sharpening ($15–$20 each time). You’ll break even after two uses.
6. Works with most residential mowers – If your mower deck is between 17 and 22 inches and weighs under 40 lbs, this lift will almost certainly fit.

Cons

1. 40-pound limit is a tight ceiling – Many steel-deck mowers push 45–50 pounds. If your mower is on the heavy side, you’ll need to look at the MoJack 55014 or a hydraulic lift.
2. No wheels – This is a stationary lift. You can’t roll the mower around once it’s lifted. You’ll need to lift the mower onto the cradle, which can be awkward if you have back issues.
3. Only for push mowers – If you own a riding mower or a zero-turn, this is useless. The cradle simply won’t accommodate a wider deck or heavier machine.
4. Cradle design can be finicky – Some users report that mowers with oddly shaped decks (like those with deep stamped ridges) don’t sit perfectly in the cradle. A quick shim with a piece of wood fixes it, but it’s worth noting.

Bottom Line

The MoJack 45014 is a no-brainer for any homeowner who maintains their own push mower and wants to stop playing “tip-and-spill” every time the blade needs attention. It’s affordable, stores flat, and does exactly what it promises: lift your mower safely off the ground for blade work and cleaning. The 40-pound weight limit is the only real gotcha—check your mower’s weight before buying. If you’re under that threshold, this is the best $35 you’ll spend on lawn equipment this year. Highly recommended for DIYers with standard residential push mowers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Will this lift work with my Honda HRX217 mower?
A: Yes, most Honda HRX models weigh between 38 and 42 pounds, which is right at the 40-pound limit. Check your specific model’s weight on the sticker near the rear wheels. If it’s 40 lbs or under, you’re good. The cradle fits the 21-inch deck without issue.

Q: Can I leave the mower on the lift for storage?
A: Technically yes, but it’s not recommended. The lift is designed for maintenance access, not long-term storage. The mower sits in a cradle, not on a flat platform, so it could shift if bumped. Best to use it for the job, then store the lift flat.

Q: Do I need any tools to assemble or use this lift?
A: None. The lift comes with locking pins that slide into pre-drilled holes. Assembly takes about 3 minutes. To use it, you simply roll the mower up to the cradle, tilt it onto the lift, and lock the safety bar. No wrenches, screwdrivers, or sockets required.
