To choose the right jack, first determine the load you need to lift and the intended use. The models show capacities of 2 tons or 3 tons, along with varying lifting ranges (minimum and maximum heights). For example, some jacks offer a min height range of 135–145 mm up to 410–515 mm, with fast lifting steps thanks to a double pump. Choose a model whose dimensions and weight suit you and that includes the necessary components such as the lifting system and the attachments.

For light home use, a 2-ton jack with a sufficient minimum height may be enough and makes small tasks easier. For a workshop or heavier vehicles, choose a 3-ton model with a wider lifting range and enhanced stability. Dimensions and weight vary: some models weigh around 8 to 16 kg, while heavier jacks can reach about 37 kg, reflecting their added sturdiness and safety.

Check that the jack has a balanced piston and either a double-pumping system or a mechanism that ensures smooth and safe lifting. Always use it on firm, level surfaces and avoid loose ground. Inspect seals and fasteners before each use, and use the pads or supports provided to distribute the weight evenly during lifting, helping prevent accidents or property damage.

Clean the surface regularly and check the hydraulic system for leaks to prevent fluid escape. Store the jack in a dry, protected place, and oil moving points if needed according to the manual provided. After each use, make sure the lever is in the safe position and the jack is perfectly stable to prevent slipping or tipping during the job.

Yes—choose a stable base on solid surfaces such as concrete; avoid soft or slippery floors that could compromise safety. If you have to work on an uneven surface, use appropriate plates or supports to spread the load. Also ensure the vehicle or object you’re lifting is properly centered and secured to maintain balance and prevent uncontrolled shifting while lifting.

Start with the displayed load capacity (2T or 3T), then look for the minimum and maximum heights (min and max), and consider the usable stroke. Compare lifting values and the jack’s weight to evaluate portability and ease of use in your space. Finally, note details such as the pump type and overall dimensions, since these directly impact stability and convenience.
