Types of car lifting jacks

Car jacks are divided into: rack lifting jacks, screw lifting jacks, hydraulic lifting jacks, and inflatable lifting jacks.

1. Rack lifting jack

Rack jacks are the most frequently used and most common portable jacks in our daily life. Because of its light weight, it is also widely loved by our car owners. In addition, its small size allows us to put it in a small corner of the car without taking up much space for us. However, the base of this jack is small and the support is not very firm. We still need to pay attention when using it and use it under the premise of safety guarantees.

2. Screw lifting jack

Screw jack, as the name implies, is a jack that we use threads to control the lifting and lowering of the jack. The load-bearing capacity of the screw jack is relatively large. The structure is simple and the load-bearing capacity is naturally what we prefer. However, its use effect is relatively slow. If the owner is impatient, he should not use it. The weight of the screw jack is relatively heavy, which is why many of our car owners do not choose it. However, we can still see it in some repair shops. Its biggest advantage is that it has a long service life, which is also one of the main reasons for the choice of maintenance personnel. However, it is also slowly being eliminated.

3. Hydraulic lifting jack

Hydraulic jack is preferred by many of our maintenance personnel because its lifting and lowering effect is relatively fast, allowing our maintenance personnel to quickly perform repairs, so that we can also save our time. The load-bearing range of the hydraulic jack is also relatively objective, and it is not a problem for ordinary small cars. Although the use effect is relatively good, there is a big problem for our car owners, that is, the space is too large, and it is very inconvenient for us to put it in the car. It is generally used in repair shops.

4. Inflatable lifting jack

This is a new type of jack. Its function is not only to change tires, but also to help us get out of trouble when we are stuck in the mud. This is why many car owners choose it, especially those who like off-road.

There are many types of jacks. When choosing, we must choose one that suits us, so that it is convenient for us to change tires and the effect is good. Another important thing is that it is convenient for us to carry it with us. If we need to change tires, we can use it at any time, which saves our time and can better solve the trouble.
