Low entry jack?

[VIICarCare]

Any recommendations? Couldn't get a standard trolley jack under the Meggy. Be nice to have a solid one that gets the car up relatively high.

Cheers

I have a 2T Arcan - no complaints

The SGS I had was rubbish. I've ended up with a Clarke CTJ3000G for the last couple of years, and does all I need.

I picked up an Arcan 3T one from Costco last year. Its a heavy thing but sturdy and goes under most low cars I've tried.
I can't knock it for the price

I’ve got the £100 Costco one and it even fits under my (very low) track car. Only 1.5T though so bare that in mind. Super light though and will go up high enough for me to get under the car.
the 2T one was nearly double the price. And size!

I've got this one for trackdays as i was struggling to get an ally one that would go under my Clio

Very happy with it.

But if you dont need it to be light go steel, much easier to find a good low clearnace one for good price. Got a steel one in the garage and massive reach it never struggles.

Post what you own. I’ve had this about 4 years and it’s still going strong. Changed the rubber cup once. Goes very low and also pretty high. I’ve also lifted a transit with it. And light weight.

I've had this for a few years now and has been fine. If its just for the Clio and normal sized cars I would get the 2.5T. The 3 Ton has a decent reach and works smoothly but does weigh a ton.

Another thumbs up for the Arcan ones from Costco here.

I've got the Halfords one. Main flaw with it is its quite easy to over tighten the valve making slowly lowering the car more difficult. Easy to work around though once you remember not to tighten it too much.

Otherwise it's quite good if you just want a cheapy, has lifted my Clio and my van with no problems.
