Full details
The Clarke Aluminium Trolley Jack (CTJ1250AC) is designed for sports and race car enthusiasts seeking a high-quality, lightweight lifting solution. Its key benefit lies in its extra-low saddle and robust aluminium construction, making it ideal for low-profile vehicles. A potential caveat is its 1.25-tonne capacity, which may be insufficient for heavier vehicles. This trolley jack offers a low profile, rubber contact pad for vehicle protection, easy maneuverability with swivel castors and a wide front roller, and a durable anodised finish.
