Car jacks in the United States: types, tons and prices

In the United States, a 1.5- to 2-ton trolley or low-profile jack lists at about $36 to $83, a 2- to 3-ton floor jack at about $140 to $260, and 3- to 4-ton professional models at about $180 to $420. These are sellers' listed prices, so send a request on BlaBlaPrice with the car type and your budget for current offers.

Load rating and warranty rules

Check the rated capacity printed on the jack and make sure it is above your vehicle's weight. Written warranties on consumer products fall under the federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, which sets minimum standards for full warranties, so ask which type a seller offers and what it covers.

Season: why winter matters

Winter here runs from December to February, and in Chicago or New York icy and snowy roads make a jack in the trunk useful. Keep one in the car from November, before the first freeze. In Phoenix and Houston winter is milder, so the choice depends more on your car than on the season.

Lift height, units and delivery

Jacks are rated by capacity in tons or pounds (a 5-ton electric jack is listed as 11,023 pounds) and by lift range in inches, such as 4.9 to 13.2 inches for a low-profile model. Check your car's ground clearance first. Ask whether delivery to New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston or Phoenix is included.

What to write in your request

Say the jack type (trolley, floor or low-profile), the capacity you need, the lift height, which vehicle it is for, whether a used jack is acceptable, your budget in dollars and your city. Sellers reply in the chat with a price and delivery terms, and your contact details stay hidden until you choose to share them.
