Product Information

Full details

The Clarke Aluminium Trolley Jack (CTJ1250AC) is designed for sports and race car enthusiasts seeking a high-quality, lightweight lifting solution. Its key benefit lies in its extra-low saddle and robust aluminium construction, making it ideal for low-profile vehicles. A potential caveat is its 1.25-tonne capacity, which may be insufficient for heavier vehicles. This trolley jack offers a low profile, rubber contact pad for vehicle protection, easy maneuverability with swivel castors and a wide front roller, and a durable anodised finish.

Troubleshooting

Jack fails to lift or lifts slowly

Check the hydraulic fluid level. If low, top up according to the manufacturer's instructions. Ensure the release valve is fully closed. Bleed the hydraulic system if air is suspected.

Jack lowers unexpectedly

Ensure the release valve is completely closed. Inspect the hydraulic seals for leaks. If leaks are present, professional servicing may be required.

Castors or rollers are stiff or stuck

Clean away any dirt or debris from the castors and rollers. Lubricate the moving parts with a suitable lubricant.

Rubber pad is damaged

Contact the manufacturer or a reputable parts supplier for a replacement rubber contact pad. Do not operate the jack with a damaged pad.
