FAQs

What vehicles can these jacking blocks be used with?

They are suitable for most cars, SUVs, and light commercial vehicles when used with compatible lifting equipment like scissor lifts or jacking beams.

How many jacking blocks are included in a set?

Each set includes four heavy-duty rubber jacking blocks.

Can these blocks be used with a standard hydraulic floor jack?

Yes, they can be used with many standard hydraulic floor jacks, provided the jack's saddle and the vehicle's jack point are compatible with the block's dimensions and provide a stable platform.

What is the main benefit of using rubber jacking blocks?

The primary benefit is to prevent damage to the vehicle's undercarriage, sills, and pinch welds by providing a cushioned, protective layer between the metal lifting surface and the vehicle.

Are these blocks suitable for very heavy trucks?

These blocks are designed for cars, SUVs, and light commercial vehicles. For heavier trucks or specialized industrial applications, you would need to consult specific load-rated equipment.

How should I clean the jacking blocks?

Clean them with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the rubber.

What are the exact dimensions of each block?

Each block measures 160mm in length, 120mm in width, and 70mm in height.

Troubleshooting

Blocks appear to be slipping under load

Ensure the vehicle's jack points and the lifting equipment are clean and free of debris. Verify the block is centered correctly on the jack point and that the lifting equipment is stable on the ground.

Premature wear or cracking of the rubber

Inspect blocks regularly. If significant wear or cracking is observed, replace the set. Ensure blocks are not being used with loads exceeding their intended capacity or with sharp, abrasive surfaces.

Blocks do not fit securely on lifting equipment

Confirm that the dimensions of your lifting equipment's pad receiver are compatible with the 160mm x 120mm base of the jacking blocks. These are designed for standard fitments; specialized equipment may require different adapters.

  • Not designed for extremely heavy-duty trucks or specialized industrial equipment.
  • Potential for wear and tear over extended, heavy-duty professional use, requiring periodic inspection.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Place the rubber jacking blocks onto the appropriate lifting points of your scissor lift, jacking beam, or floor jack. Ensure the vehicle's designated jack points align securely with the center of the jacking blocks.

Compatibility: These blocks are designed for universal use with most standard scissor lifts, jacking beams, and floor jacks for cars, SUVs, and light commercial vehicles. Always consult your lifting equipment's manual and the vehicle's service manual to confirm the correct jack points and weight capacity. Ensure the load does not exceed the combined capacity of your lifting equipment and these blocks.

Care: After each use, inspect the blocks for any signs of excessive wear, cracking, or damage. Clean off any oil, grease, or debris with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Store the blocks in a dry, shaded area away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to prolong their lifespan.
