IDEAL FOR

·Garage-based SUV, van and off-road vehicle maintenance
·Frequent wheel changes and heavier vehicles
·Users wanting a stable, quiet, high-capacity trolley jack
·Workshop users who value serviceable construction

NOT FOR

·Keeping in a vehicle trunk
·Very small garages with limited floor space
·Small cars where a lighter jack is sufficient

DESIGN & ERGONOMICS

Large and garage-oriented rather than portable: 82.5 cm long and about 48.5 kg. The long handle, foot pedal, two swivelling rear wheels, foam sleeve and controlled-release action make positioning and lifting easier, but storage and transport require space.

LONGEVITY

Evidence supports durable construction and serviceability, but not a guaranteed lifespan. An owner reported that it still held pressure after about three years of regular use and that replacement parts were easy to obtain. Keep the piston clean and lubricated and store the jack dry.
