Heavy Duty Trolley Jack
Mr Clive - 10/1/07 at 04:33 PM

I am after a decent trolly jack. I would like a heavy duty one, rather than the cheap light duty ones that can be picked up from halfrauds

Im looking for one with a max lifting weight of 2 tons or so. Its no problem if its tatty, as long as it jacks

Many thanks

I bought one from Halfords and it's a 2 tonne jobby. Can't remember price but it was cheap.

I got a 2 tonne from halfrauds with 2 axle stands for 20. The jacks bloody good.

Yep, I have to say my 2 ton Halfrauds jobbie has done me proud. Best £18.99 I ever spent

only problem i have with mine is that it doesn't drop low enough for the seven.

That's my only real criticism too but at least you can always give a helping hand to take the weight off the suspension - usually does the trick for me anyway.

Yup. 2 tonne Halfrauds model too. Got it free off my bro when he upgraded to pro ali jack.... Does the job and the price is right

Check out your local S/H garage equipment companies, they may have a decent ie Epco or Bradbury jacks in stock. May cost a bit but will last a lifetime, better than most of the crap around now

So I take it i'm the only one so far who has bent a two ton Halfrauds one trying to lift far less than two ton?
