Product Information
Full details
The Facom DL.3CLP 3 Tonne Compact Low Profile Trolley Jack is engineered for professional mechanics and automotive enthusiasts who frequently work on vehicles with reduced ground clearance. It provides a significant win through its quick-lift double-piston system, allowing for rapid vehicle engagement and precise descent control. While it is highly robust and features a professional-grade design, potential users should note its 42 kg weight, which requires a dedicated space for storage or transport.
