How much does the jack weigh?

Can this jack be used for commercial vehicles?

While it has a 3-tonne capacity, it's best suited for cars and light commercial vehicles. Always check the vehicle's weight and consult the jack's manual for specific compatibility.

How often should I check the hydraulic fluid?

It is recommended to check the hydraulic fluid level periodically, especially if you notice slower lifting or lowering. A visual inspection before each use is also good practice.

The jack typically comes mostly assembled. You will primarily need to attach the two-piece operating handle.

Troubleshooting

Jack fails to lift

Ensure the release valve is fully closed. Check the hydraulic fluid level and top up if low. Bleed the hydraulic system if necessary (refer to manufacturer's instructions).

Jack lowers unevenly or slowly

Check for hydraulic fluid leaks. Ensure the release valve is not partially open. Over time, the hydraulic seal might need replacement.

Handle feels stiff or difficult to operate

Lubricate the handle pivot points and internal mechanism. Check for any obstructions or damage to the handle components.

Wheels stick or are difficult to turn

Clean debris from around the wheels and castors. Lubricate the wheel bearings and castor pivots. Inspect for damage to the wheels themselves.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High lifting capacity suitable for most vehicles.
  • Durable construction for professional use.
  • Stable design with a wide footprint.
  • Easy to maneuver with heavy-duty wheels.
  • Low minimum height for versatile vehicle access.

Cons

  • Significant weight (28.3kg) makes it less portable.
  • Requires a reasonable amount of floor space due to its wide base.
  • Two-piece handle might be less rigid than a single-piece design for some users.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The trolley jack typically comes assembled, requiring only the attachment of the two-piece handle. Ensure the handle is securely locked into place before operation.

Compatibility: Suitable for vehicles with a Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) of up to 3 tonnes. Always consult your vehicle's manual to confirm its weight and recommended jacking points.

Care:

  1. Lubrication: Periodically lubricate the wheels and castor pivots for smooth movement.
  2. Hydraulic Fluid: Check the hydraulic fluid level regularly and top up with appropriate jack oil if necessary. Refer to the manufacturer's guide for the specific type of oil.
  3. Cleaning: Wipe down the jack with a dry or slightly damp cloth after use to prevent rust and corrosion, especially in damp environments.
  4. Storage: Store the jack in a dry, protected area when not in use. Ensure the saddle is in its lowest position to minimize stress on the hydraulic system.
  5. Inspection: Before each use, inspect the jack for any signs of damage, leaks, or wear. Do not use if any defects are found.
