Rolling Jacks FAQs

Can I use two rolling jacks at the same time?

Many 4-post service setups use front and rear bridge jacks for wheel-free lifting, but only use the number, capacity, positioning, and procedures approved for the specific lift and jacks.

Do rolling jacks require compressed air?

Many bridge jacks use air-hydraulic pumps and require shop air, while designs vary by model. Confirm air pressure, connection, hose requirements, and whether an airline kit is included or optional.

What capacity rolling jack do I need?

Choose a jack with adequate capacity for the portion of the vehicle it will lift and follow the lift and jack manufacturers' loading instructions. Vehicle weight distribution means each axle may carry substantially different weight.

How do I know which rolling jack fits my 4-post lift?

Rolling jacks are not universally interchangeable. Match the jack's rail or runway span, wheel or roller design, rated capacity, lifting points, air requirements, and manufacturer compatibility to the exact lift model.

What is a rolling bridge jack used for on a 4-post lift?

A rolling jack raises the vehicle from the lift runways so the wheels can hang free. This allows tire, brake, suspension, and wheel service while the vehicle remains on the 4-post lift.
