Frequently Asked Questions
Consider your vehicle’s weight, ground clearance, lifting points, and required lifting height. Low-profile vehicles may require a jack with a lower minimum height, while trucks and SUVs may benefit from greater lifting range and capacity. Always select a floor jack with an appropriate rated capacity for the intended application.
The right floor jack capacity depends on the vehicle being lifted and how the jack will be used. Because a floor jack typically raises only part of a vehicle at a time, it does not necessarily support the vehicle’s entire weight. Always follow the vehicle manufacturer’s lifting instructions and never exceed the jack’s rated capacity.
A low-profile floor jack features a reduced minimum lifting height that allows it to reach beneath vehicles with limited ground clearance. It is especially useful for sports cars, lowered vehicles, and other applications where a conventional floor jack may not fit beneath the recommended lifting point.
No. A floor jack is designed for lifting, not for supporting a vehicle while someone works underneath it. Once the vehicle is raised, it should be securely supported with appropriately rated jack stands positioned at manufacturer-approved support points before any under-vehicle work begins.
Always position the jack at a manufacturer-approved lifting point. These locations vary by vehicle and may include reinforced pinch welds, frame locations, or designated chassis points. Consult the vehicle owner’s manual or service information before lifting to avoid vehicle damage or an unstable lift.
A long-reach floor jack makes it easier to access lifting points located farther underneath a vehicle. This can be especially useful when servicing larger vehicles or when the recommended lifting point cannot be easily reached with a standard-length jack.
Ranger offers floor jacks designed for a variety of automotive applications, including models suited to larger vehicles. When lifting trucks or SUVs, always verify that the jack provides sufficient capacity, lifting range, and reach for the specific vehicle.
