Q: What does "low-lift" mean in reference to this transmission jack?
A: It means the jack is designed to start from a very low height (around 6-1/2 inch) so it can fit under low clearance vehicles or components and still raise up to the necessary height for removal or installation.
Q: Is this jack stable while under load and during movement?
A: Yes, it has safety chains to secure the load, four swivel casters for movement, and a wide base with handle grips to maintain stability while positioning. However, always ensure the vehicle is secure and avoid excessive lateral force during movement.
Q: What safety features prevent over-capacity misuse?
A: It includes a safety overload mechanism that prevents lifting beyond its rated capacity of 1,000 lb, and its hydraulic ram is flash-chromed to resist corrosion that could impair performance.
