1. What is the difference between a trolley jack and a car jack?
A trolley jack is a hydraulic jack with wheels, designed for smooth movement and precise positioning under a vehicle. It has a long handle for lifting vehicles with minimal effort. A car jack, or scissor jack, is typically more compact and manually operated, often found as part of a vehicle's emergency toolkit for changing tyres. Trolley jacks are better for garage use, while scissor jacks are more portable.
2. How do I choose the right capacity for a trolley jack?
Choose a trolley jack with a weight capacity that exceeds your vehicle's weight. Most jacks are rated by tonnage (e.g., 2-tonne, 3-tonne), with a 2-tonne jack sufficient for most passenger cars. If you have a heavier vehicle, like an SUV or a truck, you may need a 3-tonne or higher jack to safely lift the vehicle.
3. Can I use any jack on uneven surfaces?
No, it's unsafe to use jacks on uneven or soft surfaces like gravel or dirt, as they could shift or sink. Always use jacks on a flat, solid surface, like concrete or asphalt, to ensure stability during lifting. If necessary, use a jack pad or solid base under the jack to prevent movement.
5. Can I leave my car on a trolley jack while working underneath it?
No, never rely solely on a trolley or car jack to support a vehicle while working underneath. Always use jack stands to securely hold the vehicle in place once it has been lifted. Jacks are designed to lift the car, but jack stands provide the necessary stability for working underneath safely.
