Tips & Warnings

  • Use a trolley jack designed to support the weight of your vehicle. Trolley jacks are not "one size fits all."
  • Long-handled trolley jacks allow for more leverage and may be more effective when lifting vehicles that are lower to the ground, as a short handle will only allow for smaller strokes when lifting.
  • Consult the owner's manual for your vehicle prior to using a trolley jack.
  • Do not use the oil pan or areas of the car unsupported by the frame as a lift point when using a trolley jack.
  • Do not work underneath a car supported by a trolley jack alone. Always use jack stands.
