Product Information

Full details

The Clarke CTJ3000QLC 3 Tonne Quick Lift Trolley Jack is designed for professionals and serious home mechanics needing to lift vehicles up to 3 tonnes. Its primary benefit is the rapid lifting capability via a twin-pump hydraulic system, reducing effort and time. A potential caveat is its weight and size, which may make storage or frequent transport less convenient for some users. Key features include a 3-tonne capacity, a maximum lifting height of 465mm, a protective rubber saddle, and a controlled lowering mechanism.

FAQs

What is the maximum lifting height?

The Clarke CTJ3000QLC has a maximum lifting height of 465mm.

What is the minimum saddle height?

The minimum saddle height is 133mm.

Can this jack be used for all types of vehicles?

It is suitable for vehicles up to 3 tonnes. It's important to check your vehicle's jacking points and ensure the jack's height range is appropriate.

How do I perform a controlled lowering?

Slowly turn the handle counter-clockwise. The twist-lock release valve allows for precise control over the lowering speed.

What maintenance is required?

Regularly check hydraulic fluid levels, keep the jack clean, inspect for damage or leaks, and store it in a dry place.

Is this a low-profile jack?

No, this is not a low-profile jack. Its minimum saddle height is 133mm, which may not be suitable for very low sports cars.

What type of hydraulic fluid should I use?

Use a good quality hydraulic jack oil. Refer to the product manual for specific recommendations if available.

Troubleshooting

Jack fails to lift or lifts slowly

Check the hydraulic fluid level. Ensure the release valve is fully closed. Inspect the pump mechanism for obstructions.

Jack lowers unevenly or uncontrollably

Immediately stop use. Check the release valve for proper sealing. Inspect hydraulic seals for damage or leaks. Have the unit serviced if the issue persists.

Handle is stiff or difficult to operate

Ensure the jack is on a level surface. Lubricate the handle pivot point. Check for any internal obstructions in the pump mechanism.

Rust or corrosion visible on the chassis

Clean the affected area with a wire brush and apply a rust-inhibiting paint or lubricant to protect the steel.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Fast lifting action with the quick lift feature reduces job time.
  • Robust construction ensures durability for frequent use.
  • High lifting capacity makes it versatile for various vehicles.
  • Protective saddle prevents damage to the vehicle.
  • Controlled lowering mechanism enhances safety.

Cons

  • Heavyweight design (32kg) may impact portability.
  • Does not have a low-profile design, potentially limiting access under very low vehicles.
  • Requires manual pumping, which can be tiring for extensive use compared to powered alternatives.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the trolley jack is placed on a firm, level, and solid surface. Never use on soft ground or inclines.
  2. Position the jack under the designated jacking point of the vehicle, ensuring the saddle makes firm contact.
  3. Operate the handle vertically to engage the lifting mechanism. Turn the handle clockwise to raise and counter-clockwise to lower (after use).

Compatibility:

  • Suitable for vehicles with a maximum weight of 3 tonnes (3000kg).
  • Confirm vehicle jacking points are suitable for this type of trolley jack.
  • While not a low-profile jack, its minimum saddle height of 133mm may still be too high for some extremely low sports cars. Always check clearance before use.

Care:

  • Keep the jack clean and free from dirt and debris.
  • Regularly check hydraulic fluid levels and top up if necessary with appropriate hydraulic jack oil.
  • Inspect the hydraulic ram and seals for any signs of leakage or damage.
  • Store in a dry environment to prevent rust.
  • After each use, lower the saddle completely and ensure the release valve is closed.
