Trolley Jack (Floor Jack)
A trolley jack is a wheeled hydraulic jack used in workshops and garages to lift a car quickly at its jacking points.
What is Trolley Jack (Floor Jack)?
It lifts more smoothly and higher than the scissor jack supplied with many cars. Low-profile versions fit under lowered or sporty cars. A rubber pad on the saddle protects the jacking point.
How it works
Pumping the handle forces hydraulic oil into a cylinder that raises the lifting arm.
Why it matters for your car
Never work under a car held only by a jack; always add axle stands. Cars with air suspension must be put in jacking mode first.
