Likewise, if your vehicle is too tall, even a fully extended jack might not lift your wheels. If your clearance is lower or close to equal to the minimum, you’re not even going to be able to get your jack under the car. Along with knowing how heavy your vehicle is, you’ll need to measure its clearance – that is, how much space there is between the underside of the vehicle and the ground below. This is the height, from minimum to maximum, that the car jack can extend. That means it’s important to know the weight of your vehicle and how that relates to tonnage (2,000 pounds is roughly one ton). It’s best to go overboard where capacity is concerned. Every jack we’ve chosen meets or exceeds the ASME PASE safety standards, meaning they should easily handle anything they say they can, but we do recommend caution when getting anywhere near the weight limit. This is the weight capacity of each car jack – how much it can lift without compromising its own integrity. We have a lot more to say about your different choices in our guide below, so if you’re unsure of exactly what each car jack type means, make sure you check it out. You’ll find a variety of choices of different types of car jacks, but they can mostly be broken down into options that use hydraulics and ones that don’t. To help you make an informed purchase, we’ve broken down the criteria we used to evaluate these jacks for you. There’s tons that goes into figuring out what kind of car jack is good for you – everything from your make and model to the types of roads you drive on and the weather you do it in can make a difference in choice here.īlindly buying a car jack is a great way to end up with a tool that won’t even fit under your vehicle – or might be too weak to hold it up, creating an incredibly dangerous situation for anyone nearby.
