Title: Which Trolley Jack?
Post by: ians on 16 October 2008, 16:42:04

I'm contemplating a 3T trolley jack..

Looking at the following
Sealey 3003CXQ http://www.pvrdirect.co.uk/productinfo.aspx?catref=3003CXQ&gclid=CPf01-WGrJYCFQVOtAod0wu-zA

Sealey 3030CXD  http://www.justoffbase.co.uk/Trolley-Jack-Yankee-3ton-Rocket-Lift-Sealey-3030CXD

Clarke CTJ3000G http://www.machinemart.co.uk/shop/product/details/ctj3000g-3-tonne-professional-garage-j

SIP 7259  http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NEW-SIP-PROF-3-TON-TROLLEY-JACK-FAST-LIFT-07259_W0QQitemZ310090007515QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item310090007515&_trkparms=72%3A1301%7C39%3A1%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C240%3A1318&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14

The SIP was recommended in an old copy of Practical Classic.  The Sealey's and SIP have a quick lift function, but the Clarke has the best min/max lift by a couple of cm, and is cheaper.   The Sealey 3003CXQ and SIP have a soft pad which I quite like.

I am inclined towards the 3003CXQ.

Any opinions (surely not..), experience, alternatives?
