FAQs

How many jacks do I need to move a vehicle?

You need a minimum of four Clarke VPJ300 Vehicle Positioning Jacks, one for each wheel, to safely and effectively move a vehicle.

What is the maximum wheel width the jack can accommodate?

The jack can accept wheel widths up to 300mm.

What is the maximum vehicle weight this jack system can support?

The system is designed for vehicles with a maximum weight of 2700kg when using four jacks.

Are the rollers made of metal?

Yes, the rollers are made of durable aluminium for smooth operation.

Can I use just one jack?

While one jack can lift a single wheel, it is not designed for moving a vehicle. Four jacks are required for vehicle maneuvering.

How do I adjust the roller width?

The width between the rollers is adjustable within a range of 345mm to 630mm to accommodate different wheelbases and track widths. Consult the product manual for specific adjustment instructions.

What maintenance is required?

Keep the hydraulic system clean and lubricated. Regularly inspect for wear and tear. Store in a dry place.

Troubleshooting

Jack fails to lift

Ensure the hydraulic release valve is fully closed. Check the hydraulic fluid level and top up if necessary. Inspect for any leaks in the hydraulic system.

Difficult to roll vehicle

Verify that all four jacks are functioning correctly and lifting the wheels sufficiently. Ensure the vehicle's parking brake is released and the transmission is in neutral.

Wheel does not sit correctly on rollers

Adjust the position of the jack to center the wheel. Ensure the wheel width does not exceed the 300mm maximum capacity.

Hydraulic fluid leak

Cease use immediately. Inspect seals and connections for damage. Contact customer support or a qualified technician for repair.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
