Product Information

Full details

The JCB 2.5 Tonne Low-Profile Hydraulic Trolley Jack is a robust lifting solution designed for automotive enthusiasts and professional mechanics who require a reliable tool for vehicles with limited ground clearance. With its ability to slide under vehicles as low as 87mm, it is an ideal choice for sports cars, SUVs, and light commercial vehicles, providing a stable 2.5-tonne lifting capacity. While it offers excellent durability and ease of use, potential users should note that its heavy-duty steel construction makes it a substantial piece of equipment that is less portable than lightweight aluminum alternatives.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can this jack lift an SUV?

Yes, with a 2.5-tonne capacity, it is well-suited for most SUVs and light commercial vehicles.

What is the minimum clearance required?

This jack requires at least 87mm of clearance to slide under the vehicle.

Does this jack come with a warranty?

JCB provides support for their products; please refer to your specific retailer's warranty documentation or the provided user manual.

Is the rubber pad replaceable?

The rubber pad is designed for protection, but if it wears out, it is recommended to replace it with a compatible pad of the same diameter.

Should I leave the car on the jack?

No. Never rely solely on a hydraulic jack to hold a load. Always transfer the weight to appropriate jack stands before working under the vehicle.

Troubleshooting

Jack does not reach full lift height

The hydraulic system may have air in the line; open the release valve and pump the handle rapidly 5-10 times to bleed the system.

Jack handle feels spongy during lifting

Check the hydraulic fluid level or look for air pockets, which may require a system bleed.

Jack lowers on its own under load

Ensure the release valve is tightened fully; if the issue persists, the internal valve seal may be contaminated or worn.

Pros and Cons

Heavier weight compared to aluminum jacks makes it less portable

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before your first use, ensure the hydraulic system is purged of any air trapped during shipping by opening the release valve and pumping the handle several times. Regularly inspect the jack for any signs of hydraulic fluid leaks around the pump unit. Keep the lifting ram clean and free of grit to ensure smooth travel. Periodically lubricate the swivel casters and the handle pivot points with a light machine oil to maintain smooth movement. Store the jack in a clean, dry environment to prevent rust and always lower the jack completely when not in use.
