What to Compare Before Buying
- Capacity: The stated limit is 3 tonne. Compare that with the weight you need to lift and any equipment being supported.
- Lifting range: The working range is 188 to 363 mm. Make sure those measurements match the clearance and lift height you need.
- Contact point: The serrated saddle is part of the lifting interface. Check that the jack head and contact area suit your application.
- Base and adjustment: The large base and height-adjustment screw affect positioning and set-up, so confirm you have space for the jack style.
Before You Decide
Confirm the 3 tonne capacity and the 188 to 363 mm lifting range against your lifting job. Check that the bottle jack format and saddle style suit your setup, and follow the manufacturer instructions before use.
