A jack lifts a car; it never holds one · review
A low-profile 2.5 t jack that publishes both heights and ships with the two pads that protect a sill — the grooved one is what a pinch weld needs.
The last word The one that publishes its heights and includes the right pad. That is most of what a jack has to do.
A low-profile hydraulic trolley jack rated at 2.5 t, entering at 85 mm (3.35 in) and lifting to 365 mm (14.4 in) with the supplied adapter, with two rubber pads and an SUV adapter.
A modern car with a front air dam meets a jack before the jacking point does. Eighty-five millimeters is low enough for most lowered and standard cars, and the figure being published at all puts this ahead of jacks that do not.
A wide steel saddle against a thin pinch weld bends the seam. The grooved pad is what prevents that, and having one in the box means the jack can be used correctly on day one rather than after a €12 afterthought.
Lift with it, support with stands, then push the car at the wing before going near it.

A pinch weld — the thin double seam under the sill on most cars. A flat saddle loads it on its edge and bends it; a grooved pad lets the seam sit in the slot and takes the load on the surrounding metal.
The maker does not state a reduced rating with the adapter. As a general matter, extending a jack raises the load’s center of gravity, which is a stability question rather than a capacity one.
