Product Information

Full details

This SIP 2.5 Tonne low-profile trolley jack is designed for mechanics and car enthusiasts who need a robust and efficient lifting solution for demanding garage and workshop applications, particularly with low-clearance vehicles. Its key benefit is the combination of a low profile with a significant lifting height, powered by a quick-lift system. A potential caveat is that while durable, it is a specialized tool and requires proper maintenance for optimal longevity.

FAQs

What is the minimum and maximum lifting height?

The lifting height is adjustable from a minimum of 95 mm to a maximum of 470 mm.

Is this jack suitable for all types of vehicles?

It is suitable for vehicles within its 2.5-tonne weight capacity. The low-profile design is particularly advantageous for sports cars and vehicles with low ground clearance.

How do I engage the safety bypass system?

The safety bypass system is an internal mechanism that automatically prevents overloading. There is no manual engagement required; it functions automatically to protect the jack.

What maintenance is recommended for the hydraulic system?

Regularly check the hydraulic fluid level and top up with appropriate hydraulic jack oil if low. Keep the hydraulic system clean and inspect for leaks. Refer to the product manual for specific fluid type recommendations.

How should I store the trolley jack?

Store the jack in a clean, dry environment, away from moisture and extreme temperatures. Ensure it is positioned stably to prevent accidental damage or tipping.

What is the warranty period for this jack?

This jack comes with a SIP two-year standard silver warranty.

Can I use this jack on uneven surfaces?

No, for safety and stability, the jack must always be used on a firm, level, and solid surface. Uneven or soft ground can lead to instability and potential accidents.

Troubleshooting

Jack fails to lift or lifts slowly

Check hydraulic fluid level. Ensure the release valve is fully closed. Inspect for any air in the system by opening the release valve slightly, then closing it and pumping the handle several times. Ensure the pump mechanism is clean and free of obstructions.

Jack lowers unexpectedly

Ensure the release valve is fully closed. Inspect the valve mechanism and seals for damage or leaks. Check the hydraulic fluid level. If problems persist, the internal seals may need inspection or replacement.

Handle feels loose or difficult to operate

Ensure the two-piece handle is securely connected. Check for obstructions or damage to the pump linkage. Lubricate the handle mechanism if necessary.

Jack is unstable when lifting

Verify the jack is on a firm, level surface. Ensure the vehicle's jacking point is correctly positioned on the extra-large saddle and that the rubber pad is providing secure contact. Do not exceed the 2.5-tonne weight limit.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Suitable for low-clearance vehicles
  • Fast lifting action due to dual piston pump
  • Durable construction combining aluminium and steel
  • Safety features like overload protection
  • Easy to manoeuvre with wheels and large handle

Cons

  • Requires sufficient clearance for the low-profile design to be utilized
  • Heavy-duty construction can mean it has a significant weight itself
  • Requires regular maintenance for optimal performance

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The trolley jack typically arrives assembled but requires a final check of all components, particularly the handle attachment and wheel security, before first use. Ensure the ground surface is firm and level.

Compatibility: This jack is compatible with most standard vehicle jacking points. Always consult your vehicle's owner manual to identify the correct and safe jacking points. The low-profile design is specifically beneficial for vehicles with reduced ground clearance.

Care: To ensure longevity and safe operation:

  1. Keep the jack clean and free from dirt and debris.
  2. Regularly inspect hydraulic fluid levels and top up if necessary with appropriate hydraulic jack oil. Do not overfill.
  3. Check seals and hoses for any signs of wear or leakage.
  4. Lightly lubricate moving parts, especially the wheels and pivot points.
  5. Store the jack in a dry environment, preferably protected from the elements.
  6. Test the safety bypass system periodically.
