What trolley jack?

[ROB_GTR]

Didn't know where to put this so thought here is as good a place as any

I am after a low profile jack so it will go under the sills without touching.

I have been looking at:

2.5 Ton Lightweight Aluminium Chassis Racing Trolley Jack

Costco UK - Arcan 1.8 Ton Aluminium Service Jack - Model CEALJ2T

2.5Ton Aluminium/Steel Racing Jack with FREE Chargestar 8 | Northern Tool + Equipment free battery charger.

1.5Tonne Aluminium Race Jack | Northern Tool + Equipment

What's your opinions on the above?

I don't really want to spend as much as that so can anyone suggest any alternatives or anywhere with good offers etc?

I was hoping to get one for £100 or less

If i was buying one id be going 2t at least.

Depends what you want it for. Look at how high the jack will go. Some cheaper ones only lift up a waste of time ammount.

These are supposed to be good http://www.sgs-engineering.com/hydraulic-jacks/tro...

Yes, been looking at those. Arcan seem to get the better reviews for the 1.8 version (2ton)

I was just about to post a link to these, I bought the 2ton low entry trolley jack from here a few months ago, it is excellent, much better than my previous clarke jack

Yes seen the ones at costco but I don't know where the nearest one to me is also I am not a member 😞

I have a Costco one.

Excellent piece of kit, but still quite heavy and bulky compared to my old trusty Halfords steel one bought many years ago.

You don't need to be a member to buy from their website. (it just costs a bit more)

You should also find if there is one near you on their website too.

It does look a good jack but a bit too pricey for me and doesn't seem quite as low as some others.

Think the arcan from costco or one from sgs engineering are leading at the moment

I want for an alloy SIP jack as I need to cart it around with me. Otherwise I would have gone heavy duty steel but the good ones are c40kgs wihich is too heavy when you don't have a garage to store it in.
