Halfords Advanced 2 ton low profile trolley jack

[andy_coops]

Heads up - this isn’t on the website but down to £130 in some stores. With trade card it came down to £104.

By comparison, the non low profile mode is £200 and £160 on the card.

It’s a big heavy bugger but 3 year warranty and overkill for what I use it for.

These jacks are brilliant. Love mine.

They also have ‘quiet roll’ wheels which don’t make it silent but it is a bit quieter than most.

Good find, on the website now at £104 with trade, product code 563126

 

[Brigsy]

Used them before and spot on for the money.

My Mrs is currently looking for your head on a plate......

 

[Crybert]

That looks brilliant. My sgs low profile has bent a little and shat it’s seals. Might go for this

 

[charltjr]

Just ordered one, thanks for the tip.

I don't have a trade card, but the code SAVE10 works at checkout and brings the price down to £117

Whats it weigh? My Ali SGS one is heavy enough!

 

[BoatNonce]

She’s a heavy girl, no doubt. But worth it

Isn't the Ali SGS one around 27kg?

The 3 tonne SGS one i have is 45kg 😂

Just weighed it, 18.5kg for the 1.5t one.

It's only a single piston one though, so it takes an age to get it up....

What about the jack?

Lightweight then 😅

Carrying mine from the shed, through the house to front shaking like Mariusz Pudzianowski in the deadlift 🤣

I didn't care about the weight of my sealey one as I very rare pick it up. Drags lovely and smooth.

 

[MarkCup]

Smoothly.

Smooth-ly.

SMOOTH-LY.

Have you tried to pick it up?

My sealey weighs over 40kg and it really f***s me up trying to get it into the car🤣

Were you trying to correct my post?

Is this your way to try and woo me into bed.

Smooth done Mark it's worked

I have only ever picked it up once and I had to get my family round. Carried it out to the garage like a coffin on our shawl hers

 

[charltjr]

I'm getting it delivered so that's someone else's problem, once it's here it can roll into and out of the garage

 

[SharpyClio]

Im going to get the 3tonne one I think. Been needing a new one for ages and have been considering a pivot lift, but might get this as well. Might get it delivered...

 

[BoatNonce]

Why the three tonne one?

 

[SharpyClio]

Why the three tonne one?

We have a camper van as well, and while its only lifting maybe half the weight at most its blows the oil past the seals on my 2t one so I figure the 3t will be the way to go.

Am I looking at the wrong model? -20% with trade card, but nowhere near the prices quoted above.

 

[JohnnyE]

Me to

 

[charltjr]

@adamlstr It's part number 563126, not the one you're looking at

That's the aluminium one, these guys are looking at the ultra heavy model. - https://www.halfords.com/tools/gara...low-profile-trolley-jack-with-pad-563126.html

I'm thinking of getting that alu one though, I want something I can carry about.

@charltjr @jenic -- ahhh, good lads, thanks.

Hi, did you get the aluminium one? How do you like it?
I'm looking for one but it needs to be lightweight as I stay in a flat-so either another cheap one, or the fancy aluminium 🤔 my last cheap jack only lasted me a year 😅

No I didn't yet, and everytime I use my old jack I regret not buying a new one 😂

Hahaah, my jack started hissing at me, it's not even a year old! Crazy. I have an octavia too, and lots of work that needs done - looks like this year santa may be coming early with a decent jack 😅

 

[Darren S]

Bought one of these today, having been after a low jack for a while.

Surprisingly, the Halfords website offered free delivery on it. I thought the delivery charge would have been fairly hefty, given its weight.

 

[MyChemical172]

I went in store today, picked up the box but sadly, still to heavy for me 😭 advertised as only 19kg. I'll need to gym more. The 1.5 tonnes one seemed OK though, I can lift it by myself and I feel tempted.

I'd like to see the 1.5T and 2T alu ones next to each other, I think the 1.5T has a much shorter reach.

Yes the box of the 1.5t is smaller, and if I can I'll take a picture tomorrow as they were sitting on the same shelf 🙈 I'm only upgrading from a basic one so it's not really a problem for me, i still manage to find jacking points using the wee one, the 1.5t is slightly bigger already

If you could take them out of the box that would be awesome 😆

I don't know if you noticed? The aluminium 1.5 tonne only lifts 35.3cm. The aluminium 2 tonne lifts 47cm.
The low profile 2 tonne lifts 50.5cm which is better for me if I want to get under the car.
I've had mine for about 2 years now and it's been well worth the money.

Oh true, unfortunately weight and portability is more important to me as I stay in a flat and will need to store it at home when I'm not using it 🥴 perhaps I'll find a different option, something lightweight that lifts higher. I'm going to see if they can replace my basic one, if not I'll keep looking

Sorry, this is all I got 🤣 1.5 tonnes is not much bigger than the basic cheap one

Hoping for a black friday deal on the 2T, definitely not wanting the smaller 1.5T. It's £160 on trade atm.

 

[SharpyClio]

Just picked this up, not a Black Friday deal but £128 on trade.

3t covers all the bases for me with the camper.
