ToolPRO Low Profile Garage Jack 3000kg $235.94 @ Supercheap Auto Trade

290

SCA Trade for ABN holders only - registration is instant and online, you can use any ABNs ;)

A well regarded hydraulic jack that usually goes for $399 and sometimes around $300 on special, but $234 for a 3T high lift low profile jack is actually a good deal.
Mind you, this is heavy as, so if you just need a small light jack this might not be the best option.
However, super robust and lifts even low (sedan) cars and taller ones too (SUVs)

Working Load Limit: 3000kg
Height Lowered: 112mm
Height Raised: 505mm
Weight: 42kg

Please never work under the car just on the jack, always use car stands

    Can I use ABN 51 824 753 556?

    • Depends if Supercheap Trade actually check the ABN. You need to apply for a Trade Account first.

      • they dont check

        • Well there ya go! So, yes @awesomise could use that ABN.

          I did look it up, good on ya! Maybe start registering some AU domains with that ABN as well?

      Better to use 13 636 946 613 so they know who sent you.

      • nice one 😆

    This isn't really a low profile jack. I have their other smaller low profile jack that goes down to 85mm clearance.
    Even then, I still need to use ramps before I can get the jack under the centre mounting point.

    • Agreed. Its low profile "for a 3 ton"; not low profile compared to lighter competitors.

    • @edrift name checks out

  • This is a very good jack. Have it for 2 years now.
    Any idea how i should service it?

    • +4

      Some get a bit uptight about servicing, but I'm not in that crowd. We have 20y+ old jacks working just fine. If you really want to, you can replace the oil every 10 years :)

      However, you would want to inspect it often for leaks and whether the wheels rotate freely. If the wheels get jammed for any reason, they might push themselves off the lift points during a lift, causing the car to fall. That is the biggest problem I can think of with floor jacks.

      • My Omega from TradeTools is about 16 years old and just stopped lifting the top 80mm of travel.

        So I tried to replace the oil and mistakenly undid the screws for the valves because the 'do not adjust' stickers had peeled off, and now it doesn't lift anything. Jack works but doesn't hold any weight.

        Good timing for this deal to come up for me luckily.

    • Edit: deleted my comment cuz it might not have been good advice.

    • does it have a carry handle? mine doesnt and i hate it

      • Why do you want to carry a 40kg+ jack?

        • +2

          taking it to the track, BRAP!

  • +1

    Make sure the jack actually can jack up your car (e.g. fits underneath and jacks the car up high enough) before you leave the store. In many stores they would likely have a display model for you to try.

    • +5

      I need to rotate my tyres, maybe they'll let me do it in the parking lot while I "test" the jack.

    I'm not sure if it's OK to use this on my Tesla Cybertruck ?

    • Before answering, how did you get a Cybertruck in AU?

        Who said it's in Australia?

      • Hes joking, but there is (was?) one in QLD.
        I saw it pre-release when they were new-new, with the 'dont photo me' pattern stickers all over it, and a dealership plate hanging off the back.

        I assumed they were doing suspension tuning for qld roads.

        Followed it for about 5kms and then turned off.

        So somewhere one exists….

        • Hes joking, but there is (was?) one in QLD.

          I know, its JV, what else should we expect?

          I saw it pre-release when they were new-new

          Yeah, I saw one at the Melbourne Motor Show, the line was huge.

          So somewhere one exists….

          I am sure they are, but I don't think anyone in the general public owns one, they will be dealer and/or Telsa testing.

          I assumed they were doing suspension tuning for qld roads.

          They should also do it on the VIC roads.

    This is a good jack.

    I use it in my GQ Patrol with 285s and it works great.

    At this price it's a steal.

    • +1

      Why would the width of your tyre impact what jack you use?

      • +1

        It doesn't. They just wanted to flex mention they have 285s on their GQ.

    Wow, 42kg!!!, you are right about being heavy.

    Height Lowered: 112mm

    That's a dealbreaker for lots. Definitely shouldn't advertise it as "low-profile".

    • Agree. 112mm would not slide under my old car.

      Having said that the standard trolley jack https://trade.supercheapauto.com.au/p/sca-sca-garage-trolley… is 135mm.

      I have the 1600kg version of this. It was well under $100. Just checked and the Height Lowered: 85mm

      Just got a new car which is also low from the factory, 112mm would be cutting it fine.

      Look at this bad boy- https://trade.supercheapauto.com.au/p/kincrome-kincrome-hydr… 68mm!
      AND lifts up to 615mm! My cheapo only lifts to 375mm which is enough for me to get some jack stands on the car.
      Must need it for a race car.

      • LOL that Kinchrome is 1100kg, definitely sounds like it's for lightweight sports/race car.

        I quite like the Costco Arcan jack. 2000kg load, goes from 78cm to 500cm. I quite like the height range it supports. Most jacks either don't go low or high enough.

        • +1

          If not a sports car, you could use a normal jack.

          When they say 1100kg, would it lift a corner of a 1500kg car safely?

          500cm you say? Impressive! Definitely high enough, but can't see the need to lift my car more than 1.5m off the ground lol

          • @JimB: Cm vs mm lol!

            I'm not sure how to calculate weight distribution when lifting a corner, pretty sure it's not 1/4 of total weight but I don't know how to calculate it.

            • @Leeroy Jenkins: Gotta be careful about units of measurement. Hey doc, can you make my penis 25mm please!

              Sports cars should be stiff enough that when you jack up one corner it lifts another corner too, so 1500kg car could be 750kg.

              I can't remember high school physics but when you lift one half of the car, you're not really lifting half the weight of the car as the wheels you're not living is a pivot point.

      • We got the Kinchrome 2000kg super low profile (90mm-520mm) from Power Tool Specialists in Melbourne for $399 - more expensive than this deal but a great price if this jack - https://powertoolspecialists.com.au/products/kincrome-hydrau…

        • You bought it for home for DIY?

          I'm happy with my <$100 low profile. Does the job for me once or twice a year I need it to do an oil change.

    From ChatGPT:
    ✅ Yes — basing trolley jack on 50% of car weight for a safe, conservative estimate
    🚗 For most standard cars (1200–2000 kg), a 2-ton jack is ideal
    🔧 Always pair it with jack stands rated equally or higher for actual work under the car

  • I find these only lift my ute up just enough to change the tyres, got a used one for $50.
    Looking for something that can lift it higher

    • It doesn't look like they sell it anymore, but there used to be a grey SCA one. I've got one, and it does my ute great. I've got it permanently in the back for flat tyres because the scissor jack is crap! I've helped out the odd person with it as well.

      It could be this one its just the newer version/model/colour. Only rated a 2500kg…… Will probably lift it and just put a jack underneath for safety.

      • Agree that scissor jack is crap but to change a tyre it's fine.

        Not sure I could justify driving around a 29kg trolley jack permanently in the back just in case I get a flat! lol

        • Not sure I could justify driving around a 29kg trolley jack permanently in the back just in case I get a flat! lol

          After spending over an hour stuffing around with a tyre change which happened just before a major thunderstorm in Melbourne near Punt Road, its worth it. When I got it the tyre fixed and put it back on, it was a 10 min job at home.

          I'd rather carry it to have it just in case. Handy also when towing trailer or caravan. Plus helping out the odd person and being a good sumartin.

          • @geekcohen: I'm very fortunate that the last time I had to change a tyre on the side of the road was well over 20 years ago.

            These days all my cars have tyre pressure monitors I have time to drive to the nearest servo to pump it up before I drive on a flat tyre and damage it.

            I've had plenty of nails and screws though.

            If anything, I should carry my Ozito cordless air pump.

            • @JimB: Yeah, well, I hit something on the freeway and heard a "pop" as if I had run over a bottle, but it wasn't. The pressure sensors went off, so it was a decent one.

              I also carry my King's compressor too and my usual tools, which includes the trusty Ozito Wrench, so in the event of any tyre flats, it should be a quick, easy change.

      Does it lift the full 500mm without lifting a load? Could be an air pocket or low on hydraulic oil preventing the full lift range. Alternatively you could be driving a big ass ute like an F150.

  • That's a heavy jack

    • Like this?

    • It's rated to hold 3,000kg, so I think the heavier the better.
