    Scissor jack - 4400 lbs

    This could be of interest to owners who are looking to replace their LR scissor jack with something more substantial.
    I've sent them an e-mail inquiry re. price, weight, etc - I'll pass on any answer I get.
    cheers

    Brilliant, if a bulk buy is needed to encourage them to send to Australia, count me in.

    Thanks for the info,

    Cheers,

    Paul

    Nice - but the specs don't mention how flat it folds down to?

    Bad as it is, one of the nice things about the LR jack is that you can squeeze it under the car even if the car is down to its bump-stops.

    Cheers,

    Gordon

    Specifications
    Maximum Rated Load Capacity 4400 lbs (2000 kg)
    Minimum Lift Height 8" (20 cm)
    Maximum Lift Height 18" (46 cm)

    I'm guessing minimum lift height is as flat as it folds. It'd be more bulky than the original jack, but stable.
    Videos on the applications page show jack in use on a D3 (LR3).

    Oldsalt - good find.

    O.K. - I've just got an answer from RIco Equipment and they say "it's only a Govt. product at this time" ... did some more digging and found this site ..
    Quaddro Technologies - WORLD'S SAFEST 4x4 Off-Road Vehicle Recovery Mechanism. ... they are a South African company and I've sent them an e-mail with all my questions and I'll let you know how I get on.
    I suppose a few more e-mails from "interested" parties could only help to let them know how serious we are !!!
    cheers

    P.S. found a bit of discussion here as well ... heavy Duty jack for Raised Vehicles? - SA 4x4 Community Forum

    I'm still interested.

    note the pic showing the scissor jack under the LH front of the test vehicle (D3) is the same pic on both the Rico and Quaddro sites ?

    Over on the FFRR section of the forum there has been chatter about the FFRR jack failing quite a bit and the car falling down - should really be the subject of a safety recall..

    Is the same jack used on the D3/D4/RRS and has one failed under these vehicles. I have only used my jack once and was not real impressed with it.
