Low Profile Floor Jack

WhatsApp Order

A low-profile floor jack is a type of hydraulic jack designed specifically for vehicles with low ground clearance, such as sports cars or lowered vehicles. It is characterized by its compact and sleek design, allowing it to fit easily under vehicles with minimal ground-to-frame clearance. The low-profile nature of these jacks enables users to access and lift vehicles that may be challenging or impossible to reach with standard floor jacks. These jacks typically have a lower minimum height and a shorter body compared to regular floor jacks, making them suitable for lifting vehicles with limited space between the ground and the vehicle’s frame.

Description

USES OF A LOW PROFILE FLOOR JACK

  1. Lifting Low-Profile Vehicles:
    • Sports cars, performance cars, and some modified vehicles often have lower ground clearance. A low-profile floor jack is essential for safely lifting these vehicles without causing damage to the undercarriage.
  2. Maintenance and Repairs:
    • When performing maintenance tasks such as oil changes, brake repairs, tire rotations, or other undercarriage work, a low-profile floor jack is crucial for lifting the vehicle to provide easy access to its components.
  3. Tire Changes:
    • Changing a flat tire on a vehicle with low ground clearance can be challenging with a standard floor jack. A low-profile jack makes the process easier and more efficient.
  4. Custom and Modified Vehicles:
    • Enthusiasts who modify their vehicles with lowered suspensions or aftermarket parts may require a low-profile floor jack to access specific areas of the vehicle for modifications, upgrades, or repairs.
  5. Quick and Easy Lifting:
    • The compact design of low-profile floor jacks allows for quick and easy positioning under the vehicle, making them convenient for various lifting tasks in automotive maintenance.
  6. Garage and Shop Use:
    • Professional auto shops and home garages that frequently work on vehicles with low ground clearance benefit from the versatility and ease of use provided by low-profile floor jacks.
  7. Emergency Situations:
    • In emergency situations such as roadside assistance, a low-profile floor jack can be valuable for quickly lifting a vehicle to change a flat tire or perform minor repairs.
  8. Storage and Portability:
    • The compact size of low-profile floor jacks makes them easier to store in limited spaces. They are also more portable compared to larger jacks, making them suitable for use in various locations.
  9. Reduced Risk of Damage:
    • The design of low-profile jacks minimizes the risk of damaging the vehicle’s body or undercarriage during the lifting process, providing a safer and more reliable lifting solution for low-profile vehicles.
SAFETY HANDLING PRECAUTIONS
  1. Read the User Manual:
    • Familiarize yourself with the manufacturer's instructions and guidelines provided in the user manual. Pay attention to the recommended weight capacity, lifting points, and proper operation.
  2. Check the Weight Capacity:
    • Ensure that the low-profile floor jack has a sufficient weight capacity for the vehicle you are lifting. Exceeding the recommended capacity can lead to equipment failure and pose a safety risk.
  3. Inspect the Jack:
    • Before each use, inspect the jack for any visible damage, leaks, or loose components. Make sure that all parts, including the handle, wheels, and lifting mechanism, are in good working condition.
  4. Stable Ground:
    • Place the low-profile floor jack on a stable and level surface. Avoid using the jack on uneven or soft ground, as this can lead to instability and potential accidents.
  5. Lifting Points:
    • Identify and use the recommended lifting points specified in the vehicle's manual. Placing the jack in the wrong location can damage the vehicle's structure or cause it to become unstable.
  6. Chock the Wheels:
    • Use wheel chocks to prevent the vehicle from rolling while it is lifted. Place the chocks on the opposite side of the vehicle's wheels to provide additional stability.
  7. Secure the Vehicle:
    • Engage the vehicle's parking brake and, if applicable, put the transmission in park (for automatic) or gear (for manual). This adds an extra layer of safety to prevent unintentional movement.
  8. Lift Gradually:
    • Pump the handle of the jack steadily and gradually. Avoid rapid or jerky movements, as this can lead to instability and tipping.
  9. Use Jack Stands:
    • Once the vehicle is lifted to the desired height, immediately place jack stands under the recommended support points. Never rely solely on the floor jack to support the weight of the vehicle.
  10. Lower Carefully:
    • Lower the vehicle slowly and under control. Keep your hands and other body parts away from any moving parts to prevent injury.
  11. Store Properly:
    • Store the low-profile floor jack in a dry and secure location. Avoid leaving it exposed to the elements or in areas where it could be damaged.
  12. Personal Safety Gear:
    • Wear appropriate personal protective equipment, such as gloves and safety glasses, to protect yourself during the lifting and maintenance process.
