Floor Jacks

Floor jacks help garage, fleet, and vehicle maintenance teams raise cars, trucks, and SUVs for service work. Common selection factors include the jack’s stated lifting capacity, lift range for available clearance and service height, hydraulic pump style, caster maneuverability, frame stability, and built-in overload or bypass protection.

Planning Guide

Plan the right fit before choosing

Capacity and lifting position

Plan around the vehicle and the work height

Begin with the weight-lifting requirement for the vehicle service task and use only a jack within its stated capacity. Also review the listed minimum and maximum lift positions to determine whether the jack can access the lifting point and raise the vehicle to a workable height.

  • Match the stated capacity to the planned lifting requirement.
  • Check low-entry access against the vehicle’s lifting point.
  • Consider the service height needed for the task.
Operation and mobility

Choose controls that fit the workflow

Hydraulic floor jacks may be configured with dual-pump operation or with a T-handle hydraulic pump and foot pedal. Casters help with positioning, while swivel casters can help maneuver the jack in a service area.

  • Compare the described hydraulic pump operation.
  • Look for casters when frequent repositioning is needed.
  • Consider T-handle and foot-pedal operation where specified.
Stability and protective features

Review the construction details provided

Steel construction is described for durable garage and facility use. A wide saddle and elongated frame are described as providing a stable base during lifting, while overload safety systems or bypass protection help prevent lifting beyond the jack’s stated capacity.

  • Review steel construction and chassis details.
  • Consider wide-saddle and elongated-frame designs where listed.
  • Look for stated overload safety or bypass protection.
