YELLOW JACKET 3 Ton Aluminum Floor Jack - Ultra Lightweight Low

In this review of the YELLOW JACKET 3 ton aluminum floor jack the bottom line is simple: this is a strong, portable lifting tool for DIY mechanics and small shops who need a low profile jack that lifts quickly and stores easily. The single biggest reason to buy is the combination of a full aluminum frame and a dual-piston pump with foot pedal, which delivers faster lifts while keeping weight down for portability. Reviewers and users who value a sturdy 3 ton capacity in a lighter package will find this jack especially useful.

Key Features

• Ultra-lightweight full aluminum frame: The full aluminum construction makes the jack easier to move and carry without sacrificing durability for routine garage use.
• Dual-piston pump and foot pedal: Dual pistons plus a foot pedal speed up lifting so larger vehicles are raised more quickly with less effort than a single-pump design.
• 3 ton (6600 lb) load capacity: A reinforced lift arm and beefy capacity suit family cars, SUVs and many trucks while providing stable support during repairs.
• Low profile and wide lift range: The jack adjusts from a minimum of 3.75 in to a maximum of 18.9 in so it works in tight clearance and for higher lifts when needed.
• Comfort and protection accessories: A large rubber saddle and foam bumper on the handle help protect vehicle pinch points and improve handling comfort.
• Mobile undercarriage: Two swivel rear casters, two front rollers and dual side handles make positioning and rolling the jack under a car straightforward even on shop floors.

Who It's For

The YELLOW JACKET aluminum floor jack is aimed at home mechanics, garage hobbyists and small shop owners who need a portable but capable 3 ton jack that fits under low vehicles. Its low profile and lighter weight make it a good pick for those who frequently move the jack between vehicles or store it in a compact space.

People who only need occasional light lifting for motorcycles or very small cars might consider a smaller, lighter trolley jack. Likewise, heavy commercial shops that demand the absolute maximum durability under constant heavy use should evaluate heavier steel shop jacks designed for continual, high-frequency lifts.
