Hydraulic Trolley Jack Recommendation

Hi I am looking at replacing my old trolley jack as I do all my own maintenance and was wondering which make and model to get next, do I go for high lift or long reach any of you got one you that you would recommend.

I bought one of these when I replaced all the brake pads and discs on my motor.

Good quality, high lift, excellent delivery service. Very happy with it.

I have the same jack as mikeyw and it's given excellent service so far on my V70, Terrano and FL2. I've bought loads of stuff from SGS, including a 100l compressor, air tools and various Milwaukee 18v bare tools. Excellent value and service so far.

I also have a similar Jack from SGS engineering and I am really impressed by the service and quality of the product. Even now after a few years service. Just be aware they are very heavy, if you need to carry them about. Not an issue if it's staying in the garage though.

I second the above. I recently bought a low prof jack for my XKR from SGS and received a great product and great service. Derek Hill

I bought one of these when I bought the FL2 as my existing jacks where either far too old or not enough lift;



The 3ton one is £99.99 in costco at the moment

Its cracking, rolls really well on uneven surfaces which surprised me a bit as it looks 'shop only'. Double hydraulics makes it lift pretty quick. The handle is the release so no messing about trying to gently unwind the release valve. Its got foam up the handle to protect body work, but the handle is rather long so I tend to hit stuff with it.
