The seals on my Sealey 2 ton trolley jack have given out after 2 years of intensive use (up & down more often than Jordan's knickers ) and it's going to cost more to get it serviced than buy a new one.

Any recommendations for a replacement?

Did you see this thread?

BIG RAMPS

Maybe a little impratical, but no seals to worry about!

Halfords and Machine Mart do nice little 2 ton jacks. Mines been going a good number of years now (halfords)

I've got one of the halfords ones, had it about a year and no trouble yet. I got it in a package with 2 axle stands, think the whole lot came to 30 or 40 quid

I always thought this was a good idea. It's a 2 tonne "Quick Lift" Trolley Jack from Machine Mart. Quite cheap too.

The quick lift ones dont tend to last as long. Guess they wear out quicker

I had a Bradbury 1.5 ton trolley jack that was in daily use for over 20 years until someone borrowed it . managed to pick up a secondhand one at a garage closing sale as they are no longer made may be worth checking with s/h garage equipment suppliers. Even if you have to repair one they are the rolls royce of trolley jacks and will last you a lifetime. Rusty

Trolley jack I mean. I thought it was shot but I put some fresh drybolic oil in it and its been good ever since. It leaks a bit past the seals but it doesn't drop gradually like it was doing.

Cheers lads.

Mine only goes up so far and then stops, no matter how much you pump it !

Oil leaking from all the seals, bit rubbish really.

I was looking at the Clarke jacks in machine mart, not bad for 17 quid!

Will have a look round E-bay for a Bradbury, Rusty, but I need to replace the old one soon.

Unfortunately the guys at the shop said it'd cost more than a new one to service and didn't offer me a replacement .

My last halfords jack lasted 15 years of regular use so I simply bought two more.
