If you check the top of the LR scissor jack, it has a pin to locate the jack on the arms before jacking. Make yourself a simple tube cap with the same diameter pin on the top. Slide it onto the bottle jack shaft. Gives a far more secure lifting operation.Quote:

The bottle jack is stable but I had a small attachment made to lock it into the locater hole at the jacking point.

I believe that laying these jacks on the side is not good for them and will cause oil to leak
How have you found it?

Found new gasweld reference of your jack. $109. Looks good but concerns about carrying it as mentioned above.
Any chances of pics of the adapter and where you had it made
Many thanks

It seems that from the comments that carrying a suitable bottle jack along with the scissor jack is not a bad idea.
The key seems to be finding one that fits and also from what I have read this jack must satisfy the following criteria,please correct me if I am wrongs.
1. Minimum capacity of 2000kg
2. Closed height less than 230mm
2. Minimum extended height 400mm
The screw in the jack seems to complicate the situation. You may have a jack that reaches the required "up" height with the screw but if the screw is up you can't fit it under the jacking point.
I have had a look around and found one I think may satisfy the above, assuming my assumptions above are correct.
It is the Omega telescopic 2 tone jack.

Does any one have one of these and/or know if they would be a suitable option.
I would also assume if you use a bottle jack it would be a good idea to have an adapter which fits into the chassis hole as per the scissor jack.
