The Clarke CTJ5GLS is designed for professional mechanics and automotive technicians who require reliable, high-capacity lifting for heavy commercial vehicles. Its standout benefit is the combination of a 5-tonne lifting capacity and an extra-long 1.4-metre chassis, allowing for safe access to hard-to-reach lifting points under large vehicles. However, users should note that at 85kg, the unit is heavy and requires adequate space for storage and maneuverability in a professional workshop setting.

Yes, Clarke products generally carry a standard manufacturer's warranty; please check your original purchase documentation for specific terms.
No, with a minimum saddle height of 150mm, it is designed for commercial vehicles rather than low-profile sports or passenger cars.
The unit has a total weight of 85kg, which is typical for a heavy-duty commercial steel jack.
No. Never use a trolley jack as a permanent support; always transfer the load to certified axle stands before leaving the vehicle.
The control rod locks the jack in one of three preset heights to act as a mechanical safety support during maintenance.
Check the release valve is fully closed and check for potential air in the hydraulic system; purge the system if necessary.
Verify the release valve is tightened securely and ensure there are no hydraulic fluid leaks around the seals.
This usually indicates air trapped in the hydraulic ram. Perform a system bleed by opening the release valve and pumping the handle multiple times.
Before initial use, ensure the jack is placed on a level concrete surface. To maintain the hydraulic system, regularly inspect the oil levels and purge any air that may have entered the system during transit or after long periods of inactivity. Always use appropriate axle stands to support the vehicle weight once lifted; never rely solely on the trolley jack for extended periods. Keep the chassis joints and the main lift pivot point lightly greased to ensure smooth operation. Wipe down the ram frequently to prevent dirt or debris from damaging the internal seals, which is critical for long-term reliability.
