Service and axle jacks are designed for more than just lifting; they’re built to handle the weight and pressure of larger vehicles, ensuring you can work underneath safely. From trucks and buses to heavy-duty machinery, these jacks offer the muscle required to lift thousands of pounds with minimal effort. The right jack makes lifting not only easier but also safer, allowing you to position your vehicle for repairs, inspections, or tire changes efficiently.
What to Look for in a Car Jack
When choosing a service or axle jack, capacity is key. Always ensure that the jack you choose is rated for more than the vehicle’s weight. For larger vehicles like commercial trucks or buses, jacks like the Norco 72218 20-Ton Air Hydraulic Telescopic Floor Jack deliver impressive lifting power. With 20 tons of capacity, this air-hydraulic jack makes light work of even the heaviest vehicles.
For those looking for something more portable or specific to lighter jobs, the Ideal FR-BagJack Air Bag Jack offers a unique, compact design with a 4,400 lbs capacity. This heavy-duty air bag jack is perfect for quick lifts and works well in confined spaces where traditional jacks may not fit.
Meanwhile, mechanics handling a variety of vehicles will appreciate the versatility of a long chassis jack like the Omega Pro 5-Ton Hydraulic Long Chassis Service Jack, perfect for easily positioning under low-clearance vehicles while offering up to 5 tons of lifting capacity.
