Trolley jacks

Recommended Posts

I've got a costco one, pretty much exactly same design just different branding.

Overall they're good and far better than the cheap halfords type 2tonners, although a couple of criticisms...

They don't fit under the sides of the supra unless you drive the car onto wooden blocks first.

They're bloody heavy to lug around.

I think mine is the SGS 2ton low profile. Car has OEM skirts and eibach lowering springs. Can't reach the sill jacking points without putting a block of wood on the jack first.

 

I don't think any trolley jacks get under a lowered Supra with skirts fitted, this is to use on my

Range Rover so i don't have that problem :)

I have a Snap On trolley jack which has served me very well for over 15 years.

I would buy one now that is lower though.

 

No idea what they are from the Snap On van sellers but a 2 1/2 ton version on ebay is over £500 so that's a

non starter really, i doubt i'll be using this very much so don't need a top workshop one

I'm going to be selling my Costco 3 tonne trolley jack very soon - it's an Arcan XL30R. Pics and a for sale thread coming shortly. It'll be pickup only as it's a weighty beast.

 

Thanks but i've ordered the SGS 3 Ton heavy duty which arrives today

That’s what I have too. I like it, but put it this way; it needs to be a worthwhile task to lift it out
