I'd stick with the two handed approach if I was you Nick, holding the mounts where the back wheels are.Fordoholic Nick wrote:...it can be lifted using the front axle albeit heavy so this will do me fine, although I think I will be using the two handed approach he also mentioned

That does sound the best way mate. Probably helps spread the load on the axles too. But like I said to Andrew I wont really be "lifting" it too much around the garage anyway...more "pulling" it I reckon...in fact theres an idea now I may attach a webbing strap to it so its easy to pull around on the floor...
Really looking forward to collecting this Sunday...the missus is at work too
All the best

Re: Clarke Low Profile Trolley Jack
Hi,
I cant wait to pick "UP" my trolley jack on Sunday, cause I been feeling a bit "DOWN" recently so this is just the "LIFT" that I need
My doctor said its very healthy to laugh at your own jokes

Re: Clarke Low Profile Trolley Jack
Hi chaps,
Look what I picked up today...
To say I am over the moon is an understatement. Its superb, just like Paul described in his excellent report he did on his one.
It really does slide under the Capri with room to spare...
And it stores perfectly against my garage wall...notice how much more substantial it is compared to my standard trolley jack...
There really is no need for a case for this as you see the substantial handle stays in making it a piece of cake to manoeuvre around the garage. Its sitting ready for action whenever I need it.
This is definitely the best trolley jack that I have owned. A big thanks to Paul again for his great report and recommendation, which was a big help for me making the decision to purchase this one
It was very "uplifting" to use it
All the best
Nick

Brilliant, I'm glad that you got it Nick, and that you're happy with it. I too put my old jack next to it, bit of a difference!

Re: Clarke Low Profile Trolley Jack
Nick,
Looking at the two jacks side by side really shoes the difference between them. The new one looks like it has extra lifting capacity, handy when your boot is weighed down with all of your car cleaning products!
All the best,
Andrew.

When I opened the box I was a bit taken aback by its size Andrew, but knew instantly this was the Trolley Jack for me
It just looks and feels proper quality, but for a jack so big its amazing how it just slides under the Capri. And the large rubber saddle is brilliant. Having the extra thick handle too gives you that extra reassurance too. Great all round design features. And as Paul said in his original report you can buy all the spare parts for it too if need be.
If Mrs Fordoholic asks me where I got this "new product in my garage" I will tell her I won it in a raffle on this forum...ok guys
But she rarely ventures down to my garage...this message will self destruct in 30 secs...
All the best

Re: Clarke Low Profile Trolley Jack
Just to add my recommendation to this thread. I used mine for the first time today, and I have to say it is really a vast improvement on my previous jacks. It`s got a MUCH wider track, so feels much more stable, plus the large padded saddle seems much more secure too. The only downside is the weight, but it wheels around the garage easily enough and it`s worth it for the versatility/ ease of use provided by the low profile. I`d definitely recommend it.
Paul; it`s THAT good, Bert`s bought one!

Re: Clarke Low Profile Trolley Jack
Glad you like it too Steve It does feel very secure and confident when lifting doesn't it. Just what Bert needs for that monster of his! It is heavy as you say, but I have found a knack of carrying it (as I often need to).
