Low entry jacks

[MrG]

Hi all,

 

I'm considering purchasing a low entry jack to use on the Garage Jack Points of the car. Question is, how far will it need to reach for the front one? Ride height is stock so I'm pretty sure I'll need a low entry jack. I'm looking at something like this: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/290693142514. As I say though, I don't know if it will reach the front jacking point.

 

Does anyone have a trolley jack that reaches the front Garage Jacking Point from the front?

 

Thanks,

 

G

If your stock height, you prob one need a low entry jack

 

Just go to Halfrauds and try before you buy

I have a standard halfrauds jack, I can just about jam it under the rear jacking point but the front is out of the question, it is quite far back from the bumper, might be a good idea to measure it.

The best way to get on the front jacking point is from the side just behind the front wheel.

If you drive up on some wood or bricks its easier.

Yeah, they're meant to be good aren't they. A lot of folks on SXOC (other forum I go on) rave about them. Do you know if it reaches the front jacking point like the first pic in this thread?

Literally bought one of these earlier today as the one we had before wont fit underneath at all. Faultless bit of kit, allowed me to do oil change in drive no bother at all

I bought a Sealey 1020LE 2 tonne low entry (http://www.sealey.co.uk/PLPageBuilder.asp?gotonode=ViewProduct&method=mViewProduct&productid=15351) a few months ago just for changing wheels occasionally as it was only £41 from eBay. I can get it onto the rear jacking point (just) but no where near the front one, although I've not tried Sam Mcgoo's suggestion of behind the front wheel. For the price I'm very pleased with it but for regular use I'd have gone for something better with a longer reach and a proper jack pad.

[Sam Mcgoo]

This is how I do it

 

I always go up on all four wooden blocks as it gives you more room for the jack and more room to move the jack handle up and down when its right under the car.

That jack reminds me of the Ferrari F1 car!
