Suggest a minimum 7ton long frame trolley jack.

Air jack is worth considering.

I have 20t manual and air jacks both have their uses.

I’ve got a Clarke ten tonne trolley Jack which I bought from machine mart.
It’s a good jack

I've an 18 ton trolley jack, it's here 30 plus years & is a great jack for when it's needed, but it is a heavy, awkward pig of a thing, also have a couple of 3 ton & they get used where possible.

20t air/manual bottle jack gets most use here,well after lifting with the loadall It does.

I‘ve got one of these, really handy and nice just letting the air do the work, they’re out of stock but usually come back in fairly quickly. Seem to of gone up from £133+vat that i paid a year ago, that was seriously cheap though.
