The jack is a mandatory attribute of any car. Without a reliable lift, it is impossible to change a broken wheel or perform some types of repair work. For raising the passenger car with the same efficiency can be used podkatnye, bottle, rack or rhombic lifts.

Our review presents the best models of this equipment, which for the convenience of the reader were divided into several categories according to the type of construction. The rating was formed on the basis of factory characteristics and ratings of owners with operating experience.

Top jacks

Elevators of this type are in high demand in the market - they are ergonomic and their use for lifting machines is one of the most convenient and easy ways. The category presents the best models of rolling jacks for cars.

4 WIEDERKRAFT WDK-81885

Low-profile podkatny elevator (85mm – 455 mm) WIEDERKRAFT WDK-81885 is designed for the repair of cars and small trucks weighing up to 3 tons. The long, comfortable handle with a rubber pad allows you to raise the machine to the required height with the least effort. Thanks to the wide steel wheels provided for in this model, the tool is easy to move and roll up directly under the body, despite its fairly decent weight - 34 kg.

Hydraulic jack WIEDERKRAFT WDK-81885 is equipped with security systems that provide protection against overload and sudden fall of the car. If you need to purchase such a tool for a tire repair shop or car service center, the WIEDERKRAFT WDK-81885 hoist can be the best choice.

3 AUTOPROFI DP-20K

The Chinese “two-ton”, which conquered the Russian buyer with low price and staffing. In addition, in fact, the jack, the manufacturer has prepared a "chip" in the form of a special case for storage and transportation - a very competent marketing move, which allows ergonomically positioning the movable lift in the trunk of a car. The weight of the device is almost 10 kg, which indicates a fairly reliable hydraulic system that easily copes with lifting machines weighing up to 2 tons.

But in terms of technical parameters, everything is a bit worse: the maximum lifting height is limited to 330 millimeters, which, in comparison with the leaders, looks frankly faded. But in terms of ergonomics and general appearance, the AUTOPROFI DP-20K, if it does not come out ahead, is on the same level as the top jacks models. As for durability, it is difficult to say something definite - the comments of the owners are very different, but they are still inclined towards a satisfactory result.

2 MATRIX 51020

Chinese-made rolling jack, which has gained popularity for an acceptable service life.The weight of the structure is nearly ten kilograms, and the carrying capacity of the model is limited to 2 tons. Mediocrity (relative to the leader) begins exactly when it affects technical characteristics. With a standard pickup at a height of 135 millimeters, the peak lift height of the jack is 355 millimeters. This is not so little, but a little worse than the top model.

The cost advantage is insignificant, but the overall performance and usability leave much to be desired. But, as mentioned earlier, the main criterion of the MATRIX 51020 is durability. The absence of the case does not allow you to comfortably put it in the trunk of the car, but in the garage it will not be superfluous, since it is much more convenient to work with it than with a regular (screw) lift.

1 KRAFT CT 820002

High-class rolling hydraulic jack designed for lifting 2.5 tons. The special value of this model lies in the German-Chinese origin - the products received access to the Russian market, and domestic consumers won in price. Regarding competitors KRAFT KT 820002 has two very important qualities. One thing was named above - this is a low cost. The second is more generalized, but no less weighty - these are operational parameters.

The jack provides lifting of the object to a height of up to 385 millimeters with a pickup at the level of 135 millimeters. It is convenient to use it for passenger cars and SUVs with a permitted maximum weight of up to 2.5 tons. In terms of ergonomics, everything is also in order - sliding jacks are traditionally more convenient to use than other models. In this case, the assembly of the device is performed at the highest level, which affects not only the reliability of the lift, but also the period of its operation, which deprives the model of any shortcomings.

Top bottle jacks

The category includes the best hydraulic jacks of the bottle-type, capable of lifting not only cars, but also trucks.

4 STAYER RED FORCE 43160-12_z01

STAYER RED FORCE is a bottle jack, the hydraulic cylinder of which provides lifting of loads up to 12 tons. At the same time, it is compact in size and light in weight. This model will be the best assistant to the master in maintenance and repair of cars, and an indispensable tool in the field of installation and construction works. The body is made of durable metal, which ensures the jack a long service life and reliability.

For the implementation of the pickup of cargo by the STAYER RED FORCE lift, it is enough to have a distance between it and the support of 230 mm.At the same time raising is possible to the level of 465 mm. The complete set provides a convenient along the length of the pumping piston, consisting of two parts. The low price and high performance of the hydraulic mechanism make this model one of the most competitive on the market.

3 OMBRA OHT 108

An interesting competitor model AIRLINE AJ-TB-04 in terms of operation. He already lifts eight tons of weight, but the maximum lift is available only up to 405 millimeters. Despite this, the ergonomics of the OMBRA OHT 108 look no less attractive than the previous model. The device weighs only 5 kg, and this circumstance is an obstacle to using it to fix the load - after lifting, even for short-term repair operations it is better to install supports.

A clear advantage of this model are also compact dimensions. The hydraulic mechanism does not require any maintenance and demonstrates reliability, regardless of the magnitude of the operational loads - OMBRA OHT 108 can be successfully used in repair shops and act as a regular car lift (including freight).

2 AIRLINE AJ-TB-04

The hydraulic lift of the bottle type AIRLINE AJ-TB-04 is optimal for passenger cars and commercial minibuses with a lifting capacity (4 tons). The height of the pickup is 22.9 cm, and the maximum lift, due to the design of the double telescopic rod, can be made to a height of 53.5 cm.

For greater ease of use in this model, a number of additional “chips” are provided, such as a notch that slides on the seat, a valve that protects against overload, and a retractable extension screw. Also included in the package bag for carrying and storage. Bottle jack AIRLINE AJ-TB-04 can work even in the most severe frosts, up to -40 ° C. The only thing to consider when choosing AIRLINE AJ-TB-04 is the need for its vertical location during storage and transportation in the car.

1 BISON 43060-6

Hydraulic jack of a successful series with averaged (relative to the same series) operating parameters. The hydraulic piston ensures the vehicle is raised to a height of up to 415 millimeters + the height of the sliding screw present. The maximum perceived weight is 6 tons - this characteristic provides an optimal margin of safety when lifting not only a passenger car, but also a loaded minibus.

However, this jack has one very unpleasant feature: the minimum pickup height is 215 millimeters. For passenger cars with ground clearance less than this value, it will be more problematic to bully the board, but for most SUVs and minibuses it will work perfectly. In addition, the most affordable price among bottle jacks and excellent performance have become an objective reason for occupying a leading position in the ranking. When used as a regular car lift and in vertical storage (increases the service life of the cuffs), the EXPERT BISON will remain operational for many years.

Top screw jacks

Rams of this type are most common as regular lifts for cars. The category presents the best models with a screw lifting mechanism.

4 KRAFT CT 850000

The compact electric jack of the rhombic type KRAFT KT 850000 will be the best choice for the repair and maintenance of passenger cars weighing up to 2 tons. This device can receive the voltage of 12V directly from the car battery directly or from a standard onboard outlet (or cigarette lighter). Just in case, the set provides a handle for the mechanical control of the lift.

The high level of comfortable operation of this model is provided by the control panel with a flashlight built into it. A distinctive feature of the screw jack is a rotating platform, which provides the device with better stability. The advantages also include the ability to operate at temperatures up to -45 ° C. The set is delivered in a plastic case in which it is convenient to transport and store the lift.

3 Airline AJ-R-02

The rhombic jack is from a domestic producer, the quality of which is challenged by a huge number of consumers. The questions are caused primarily by the main screw, the thread of which (on individual models) is eaten in literally two or three uses. Obviously, this is due to the deployment of the production line, which is located in China. But in serviceable jacks, almost everything is good - the real load capacity fully complies with the declared one, the mechanism does not lead away when the load is applied, and even such a sore spot as the handle is quite bearable.

Some inconvenience is caused only by rubber linings, which are molded after a short lifetime. And if it were not for a kind of lottery with the quality of the screw, then the Airline AJ-R-02 could be attributed to the priority models, both in cost and in performance. In general, this rhombic jack is excellent for the role of a regular lift for passenger cars weighing no more than 2 tons.

2 AUTOPROFI DV-15R

A full-fledged "Chinese" with all the ensuing consequences. Surprisingly one of the most successful models of the series, which is also not without flaws, but to a much lesser extent. However, they all relate to more ergonomics than technical issues. When a load is applied, the screw (rhombic) jack can lead to the side, so the installation should be done carefully. Not impressed and the handle, more like a universal joint, rather than a sensible mechanism for lifting the base of the jack.

As for the technical characteristics, the lifting height is limited to 390 millimeters, to which, nevertheless, the jack should not be brought. The pickup height is 100 millimeters, so AUTOPROFI DV-15R is guaranteed to fit for standard cars (the minimum clearance of which is 140-150 millimeters). Adequate option for a small amount for most cars, the mass of which does not exceed 1.5 tons.

1 BelAvtoKomplekt (2 tons)

A product of a holding company whose production sites are scattered throughout Russia, the CIS countries and, of course, China. It is not known who makes this particular jack - but, judging by consumer reviews, it seems that several departments are involved in this at once. The quality of the product as a whole is even, but it cannot do without individual excesses, therefore, when buying, one should pay attention to the quality of workmanship. However, the key components (screw mechanism) ensure reliable lifting of the machine to a height of up to 385 mm. At the same time, the minimum clearance between the load and the base must be at least 10 cm, which allows the use of a rhombic lifting mechanism as a standard lift for any car.

In general, the model with a maximum load capacity of 2 tons is the most stable in the series, since the jacks by 1.5, and even more so by one ton, even visually look more flimsy (and this is not that sensitivity which depends only on the maximum perceived weight).The base is much more powerful, there is practically no backlash and laxity, but the handle and rubber pads are suitable only on a case by case basis. For the operational part, as well as for the cost, there are no complaints either.

Top rack jacks

A distinctive feature of jacks of this type is a high lift height, which is not available to models from previous rating categories. Below are the best rack lifts for passenger cars.

3 Inforce 08-08-03

The professional rack jack Inforce 08-08-03 will be the best choice for tire service and repair shops. Regardless of the volume of work performed, the long life of this tool provides a steel body with a special anti-corrosion treatment. The best stability of the jack Inforce 08-08-03, even in the case of a maximum permissible load of 5 tons, is possible due to the large area of ​​the base.

A distinctive feature of this rack jack model is the presence of a convenient lever with a rotational and locking mechanism, due to which raising the edge of the machine and fixing at a height of up to 430 mm has become easy and quick.

2 MATRIX 505155

The mechanical rack jack type MATRIX 505155 is made of high quality metal, so it has the best indicators of strength. This device securely holds a weight of up to 3 tons at a given height and provides the mechanics with absolute security during the work. The minimum pickup height of this model is 153 mm, and the height of a possible lift reaches 700 mm, which is very convenient for the maintenance and repair of passenger cars and minibuses.

1 SKYWAY S01803005

Rack jack SKYWAY S01803005, thanks to technological innovations in the design, can significantly reduce the time required to raise the car to the desired height. At the same time, the presence of a stepping mechanism in this device ensures a smooth rise and descent, despite the possible permissible load weighing 3.5 tons.
