Product Information

Full details

This Laser Tools Low Profile Trolley Jack (2.5 Tonne, Part No. 8837) is designed for mechanics and DIY enthusiasts needing to lift vehicles with low ground clearance. Its key benefit is the quick-lift twin pump system, allowing for rapid lifting to a maximum height of 495mm, while the low profile design reaches vehicles that standard jacks cannot. A crucial caveat is the mandatory use in conjunction with axle stands for safety.

FAQs

What is the minimum height this jack can reach?

The minimum height for this jack is 88mm.

What is the maximum lifting height?

The maximum lifting height is 495mm.

Is this jack suitable for 4x4 vehicles?

With a lifting capacity of 2.5 tonnes and a maximum height of 495mm, it is suitable for many standard SUVs and smaller 4x4s. Always check your vehicle's weight and the designated jacking points.

Does this jack come with axle stands?

No, axle stands are not included and must be purchased separately. It is crucial to use axle stands for safety when working under a vehicle.

What type of hydraulic fluid should I use?

Refer to the product manual for the specific type of hydraulic jack oil recommended. Generally, a high-quality hydraulic jack oil is suitable.

How often should I check the hydraulic fluid?

It is recommended to check the hydraulic fluid level periodically, especially before heavy use or if you notice a decrease in lifting performance.

What does 'Low Profile' mean in this context?

Low profile means the jack has a very low minimum height, allowing it to fit under vehicles that are close to the ground, such as sports cars or those with lowered suspensions.

Troubleshooting

Jack fails to lift

Check hydraulic fluid level. Ensure the release valve is fully closed. If problems persist, the hydraulic system may need bleeding.

Jack lowers slowly or unevenly

Check for leaks in the hydraulic system. Ensure the jack is on a level surface. Bleed the hydraulic system to remove air.

Handle feels loose or difficult to operate

Ensure the handle is securely attached. Check for any obstructions or damage to the pump mechanism. Lubricate moving parts if necessary.

Saddle does not engage with jacking point

Ensure the jack is correctly positioned under the vehicle's designated jacking point. Adjust the jack's position slightly.
