15 best jacks

Low Profile Undercarriage Lift (85mm – 455 mm) WIEDERKRAFT WDK-81885 is designed for the repair of cars and small trucks weighing up to 3 tons. A long, comfortable handle with a rubber pad allows you to lift the machine to the required height with the least effort. Thanks to the wide steel wheels provided in this model, the tool is easy to move and roll directly under the body, despite its rather decent weight - 34 kg.

Hydraulic jack WIEDERKRAFT WDK-81885 is equipped with safety systems that provide protection against overload and sudden fall of the car. If you need to purchase such a tool for a tire shop or car service, the WIEDERKRAFT WDK-81885 rolling lift will be the best choice.

The Chinese “two-ton”, which conquered the Russian buyer with its low price and completeness. In addition to the jack itself, the manufacturer has prepared a "chip" in the form of a special case for storage and carrying - a very competent marketing ploy that allows you to ergonomically place the rolling lift in the trunk of a car.The weight of the device is almost 10 kg, which indicates a fairly reliable hydraulic system that can easily cope with lifting a machine weighing up to 2 tons.

But in terms of technical parameters, everything is a little worse: the maximum lifting height is limited to 330 millimeters, which, in comparison with the leaders, looks frankly faded. But in terms of ergonomics and general appearance, AUTOPROFI DP-20K, if it does not come out ahead, is on the same level with top models of jacks. As for durability, it is difficult to say something definite - the comments of the owners vary greatly, but still lean towards a satisfactory result.

A rolling jack made in China, which has gained popularity for an acceptable service life. The weight of the structure is almost ten kilograms, and the carrying capacity of the model is limited to 2 tons. Mediocrity (relative to the leader) begins exactly when it touches on technical characteristics. With a standard pickup at a height of 135 millimeters, the peak lifting height of the jack is 355 millimeters. This is not so small, but slightly worse than the top model.

The cost benefit is negligible, but overall performance and usability leave a lot to be desired. But, as mentioned earlier, the main criterion for MATRIX 51020 is durability. The absence of a case does not allow you to comfortably put it in the trunk of a car, but it will not be superfluous in the garage, because it is much more convenient to work with it than with a standard (screw) lift.

High quality rolling hydraulic jack, designed to lift 2.5 tons. The special value of this model lies in the German-Chinese origin - the products got access to the Russian market, and domestic consumers won in price.Relative to competitors, KRAFT KT 820002 has two very important qualities. One was mentioned above - this is a low cost. The second, more generalized, but no less significant, is operational parameters.

The jack provides lifting of an object to a height of up to 385 millimeters with a pickup at the level of 135 millimeters. It is convenient to use it for passenger cars and SUVs with a maximum permitted weight of up to 2.5 tons. In terms of ergonomics, everything is also in order - rolling jacks are traditionally more convenient to use than other models. At the same time, the assembly of the device is made at the highest level, which affects not only the reliability of the lift, but also its service life, which deprives the model of any shortcomings.

STAYER RED FORCE is a bottle jack with a hydraulic cylinder capable of lifting loads of up to 12 tons, while being compact and lightweight. This model will become the best assistant to the master in car maintenance and repair, and an indispensable tool in the field of installation and construction work. The body is made of durable metal, which provides the jack with a long service life and reliability.

In order to pick up the load with the STAYER RED FORCE lift, it is enough to have a distance of 230 mm between it and the support. At the same time, lifting is possible up to a mark of 465 mm.The package includes a two-piece piston inflation handle that is comfortable in length. The low price and high performance of the hydraulic mechanism make this model one of the most competitive on the market.

An interesting competitor to the AIRLINE AJ-TB-04 model in terms of operation. It already lifts eight tons of weight, but the maximum lift is available only up to 405 millimeters. Despite this, the ergonomics of the OMBRA OHT 108 lift look no less attractive than the previous model. The device weighs only 5 kg, and this circumstance is an obstacle in order to fix the load with it - after lifting, even for short-term repair operations, it is better to install props.

A clear advantage of this model is also its compact size. The hydraulic mechanism does not require any maintenance and demonstrates reliability, regardless of the magnitude of operational loads - OMBRA OHT 108 can be successfully used in repair shops and act as a regular car lift (including a truck).

The AIRLINE AJ-TB-04 hydraulic bottle lift has an optimal load capacity (4 tons) for a passenger car and commercial vans. The pick-up height is 22.9 cm, and the maximum lift, due to the presence of a double telescopic rod design, can be performed to a height of up to 53.5 cm.

For greater ease of use, this model has a number of additional "chips", such as anti-slip knurling on the seat, overload valve and a retractable extension screw. Also included is a carrying and storage bag. Bottle jack AIRLINE AJ-TB-04 can work even in the most severe frosts, down to -40 °C. The only thing to consider when choosing AIRLINE AJ-TB-04 is the need for its vertical position during storage and transportation in a car.

A hydraulic jack of a successful series, which has average (relative to the same series) performance parameters. The hydraulic piston lifts the vehicle to a height of up to 415 millimeters + the height of the retractable screw included in the kit. The maximum perceived weight is 6 tons - this characteristic provides an optimal margin of safety when lifting not only a car, but also a loaded minibus.

However, such a jack has one very unpleasant feature: the minimum pickup height is 215 millimeters. For passenger cars with a clearance less than this value, it will be more problematic to lift the board, but for most SUVs and minibuses it is perfect. In addition, the most affordable price among bottle jacks and excellent performance have become an objective reason for taking a leading position in the ranking.When used as a regular car lift and vertical storage (increases the service life of cuffs), the BISON "EXPERT" will keep working for many years.

The best choice for the repair and maintenance of cars weighing up to 2 tons will be a compact rhombic-type electric jack KRAFT KT 850000. This device can receive the voltage of 12V necessary for operation both from a car battery directly and from a regular on-board socket (or cigarette lighter). Just in case, the set includes a handle for mechanical control of the lift.

A high level of comfortable operation of this model is provided by a control panel with a built-in flashlight. A distinctive feature of the screw jack is a rotating platform, which provides the device with better stability. The advantages also include the possibility of functioning at temperatures up to -45 ° C. The set is delivered in a plastic case, in which it is convenient to transport and store the lift.

Rhombic jack from a domestic manufacturer, the quality of which is disputed by a huge number of consumers.Questions are caused, first of all, by the main screw, the thread of which (on individual models) is eaten literally in two or three uses. Obviously, this is due to the location of the production line, which is located in China. But in serviceable jacks, almost everything is good - the real load capacity is fully consistent with the declared one, the mechanism does not take away when the load is applied, and even such a sore point as the handle is quite tolerable.

Some inconvenience is caused only by rubber pads, which break after a short period of operation. And if it were not for a kind of lottery with the quality of the propeller, then the Airline AJ-R-02 could be attributed to the priority models, both in terms of cost and performance. In general, this rhombic jack is perfect for the role of a regular lift for passenger cars weighing no more than 2 tons.

A full-fledged "Chinese" with all the ensuing consequences. Surprisingly one of the most successful models of the series, which is also not without flaws, but to a much lesser extent. However, they all relate more to ergonomics than technical issues. When a load is applied, the helical (rhombic) jack can lead to the side, so installation should be done carefully. The handle, which is more reminiscent of a cardan, is also not impressive, rather than an intelligible mechanism for lifting the base of the jack.

As for the technical characteristics, the lifting height is limited to 390 millimeters, to which, nevertheless, the jack should not be brought up.The pickup height is 100 millimeters, so AUTOPROFI DV-15R is guaranteed to fit for standard passenger cars (the minimum clearance of which is 140-150 millimeters). An adequate option for a small amount for most cars, the mass of which does not exceed 1.5 tons.

The product of a holding company whose production sites are scattered throughout Russia, the CIS countries and, of course, China. Who exactly makes this jack is unknown, but judging by the feedback from consumers, it seems that several departments are involved in this at once. The quality of the goods is generally even, however, it cannot do without individual excesses, therefore, when buying, you should pay attention to the quality of workmanship. However, the key components (screw mechanism) ensure that the machine is lifted reliably up to a height of 385 mm. At the same time, the minimum gap between the load and the base must be at least 10 cm, which allows the use of a rhombic lifting mechanism as a regular lift for any car.

In general, the model with a maximum load capacity of 2 tons is the most stable in the series, since jacks of 1.5 and even more so for one ton even visually look more flimsy (and this is not the fragility that depends only on the maximum perceived weight). The base is much more powerful, there are practically no backlashes and laxity, but the handle and rubber pads are only suitable from time to time. On the operational side, as well as on the cost, there are no complaints either.

Professional rack jack Inforce 08-08-03 will be the best choice for tire and car repair shops. Regardless of the amount of work performed, a long service life of this tool is ensured by a steel body with special anti-corrosion treatment. The best stability of the Inforce 08-08-03 jack, even in the case of a maximum permissible load of 5 tons, is possible due to the large footprint.

A distinctive feature of this model of rack jack is the presence of a convenient lever with a rotational and locking mechanism, thanks to which raising the edge of the machine and fixing it at a height of up to 430 mm has become an easy and fast matter.

Mechanical rack type jack MATRIX 505155 is made of high-quality metal, due to which it has the best strength indicators. This device securely holds a load weighing up to 3 tons at a given height and provides the mechanic with absolute safety during work. The minimum pick-up height for this model is 153 mm, and the possible lifting height reaches 700 mm, which is very convenient for servicing and repairing cars and minibuses.

The MATRIX 505155 rack jack provides fast yet smooth lifting and lowering, even when fully loaded.If there is a need for a winch, this tool can also be used in this capacity - a loop is located on the tip of the lift especially for this.

Rack jack SKYWAY S01803005, thanks to technological innovations in the design, can significantly reduce the time required to raise the car to the desired height. At the same time, the presence of a stepper mechanism in this device ensures a smooth ascent and descent, despite the possible permissible load of 3.5 tons.

This mechanical jack is popular with car owners due to the simplicity and at the same time the reliability of the design, as well as the possibility of a low pickup (130 mm). An additional feature of this model is the presence of a loop on the carrier rail, which allows using SKYWAY S01803005 as a winch or clamp. Regardless of the type of work and the plane in which they are performed, the rack jack provides reliable fixation of the load and the safety of the work.
