Trolley jacks are crucial tools for anyone involved in vehicle maintenance and manufacture, from professional mechanics to car enthusiasts.

Ease and mobility are two key benefits for a car jack. Typically designed with wheels and a long handle, they allow users to effortlessly position the jack under a vehicle.

Careful consideration should be taken when choosing the right trolley jack for you. Lifting capacity is vital - most standard trolley jacks range from 2-3 tonnes, making them suitable for the everyday car and van. Additionally, low-profile models are becoming increasingly popular with reduced ground clearances suitable for sports cars.
Durability and safety are also huge benefits of trolley jacks. A high-quality jack is made from heavy-duty steel and features built-in safety mechanisms to prevent accidental lowering.
