sjwright944 Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 Does anyone have any recommendations of a low profile trolley jack? Getting fed up with struggling with a standard one at the front of the car, and I've not even lowered it yet! Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roy M Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 I've got the 2200hl (last one above) which works well for all my needs. The high lift is useful occasionally but does mean it's a big thing to store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris T Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 Last one looks good if you ever intend to remove the engine as the car needs to be higher off the ground than you think! Chris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidewaysfun Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 Costco used to do a really good low profile jack. I bought mine about 6 years ago. Weighs a bloody ton though mind you!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teme Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 I am happy with my Bahco BH11500: https://www.bahco.com/en/p/extra-low-entrance-extra-long-reach/58-aa-ed-fc-48-72-e9-df-03-85-54-73-5f-0c-92-a6/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjwright944 Posted July 7, 2018 Author Share Posted July 7, 2018 Thanks for all of your replies...I'll get one sorted. Always good to go on recommendation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Gander Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 Look up the Weber site, excellent quality jack but a bit pricy. They do reconditioned one’s which I have had for may years, the really high lift has proved valuable over the years. David. (Had a photo which has now gone missing!)

Northy Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 I've got one of the Costco ones and it seems decent to me. Smooth and easy to use - allows you good control when lowering the car down, which is useful. But I'm no jack expert. Some would say, I don't know jack ****.

sopor Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 +1 for Weber - have had one of these for perhaps 15 years - http://www.weberuk.com/shop/high-lift-and-long-reach-trolley-jacks/wdk13hlq--|3069/ Pricey but very useful with its long reach and low height. Only annoyance is that using it on asphalt tends to chew up the rubber o rings on the wheels but they're not strictly needed. And that the neighbors like to borrow it!

Chris. +1 for Sealey 2200HL - I've had one of these for nearly 10years - its done around 5 engine drops in that time. As above - you're be surprised how high have you have to go to be able to roll the engine and gearbox out. For anything super low I tend to drive the car onto some 8" x 2" timber off cuts - gives you a bit more room to make sure the jack's in the right place to lift etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weighs a bloody ton though mind you!!! I have this older heavy one as well - looks like a Sealey but in black, probably a rebrand. Nowadays they seem to have an aluminum one which my brother bought, but I the old heavy beast feels more solid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
