Heavy Duty Trolley Jack
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.

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

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.

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
