tooquicktostop Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 What ever you do dont get the Halfords trolley jack (yellow one) it is so bad it is dangerous, it does not seal properly on load therefore slowly goes down over a period of five mins or so !! I binned it after one use Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamer Posted October 12, 2007 Author Share Posted October 12, 2007 I have never used Costco before, from the looks of it they do not deliver. Ideally I need it delivered to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamer Posted October 12, 2007 Author Share Posted October 12, 2007 I think this is about as low as it is going to get. http://www.sipuk.co.uk/acatalog/info_SIP07180.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marco Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 I think this is about as low as it is going to get. http://www.sipuk.co.uk/acatalog/info_SIP07180.html Bit expensive though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamer Posted October 12, 2007 Author Share Posted October 12, 2007 Bit expensive though I am open to alternatives. To be fair though that price is inc. VAT and free delivery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GazB Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 Most jacks loose pressure and lower themselves that's why we have axle stand not sure that it only takes 5 mins though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the same as the Machine Mart/Costco one I beleive. It's £99 or something from Machine Mart. I have one. It's fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShamelessTT Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 sod a low profile jack, my old man built me some ramps (just raised the car about 4 inches), which the car can roll onto and then any jack goes under. Works a dream. I was sick of going to garages and them not being able to jack up a previous lowered car i had Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 That's the same as the Machine Mart/Costco one I beleive. It's £99 or something from Machine Mart. I have one. It's fine. The Costco is an Arcan, probably rebranded by a few people. They don't have the lightweight ones in at present, they seem to be back to the Arcan XL30 that I have, still fairly low but very heavy. 89mm high when closed, ~£55, no use to you if you need delivery though Machine Mart have the Clarke CTJ1250A, 79mm saddle height but only half the lifting capacity of the Arcan at 1.25 tonnes, just under £100.
