    Hi,
    I was interested in one - till I tried to lift it, and that was rated at 2 ton I think.

    cheers

    Yes i noticed they were specifying the weight as around 17-20KG, probably a bit heavy to be useful as a recovery jack.

    Back to a standard air jack for me!

    Be OK in a workshop where you have a proper compressor, useless off road, unless you want to fork out for a portable air compressor that can hold on 90 to 100psi, Regards Frank.

    Hi,
    I noticed a local RACT service man using one on a TV advertisement, but I dare say for him the convenience and speed are more important than the weight in the vehicle.
    cheers

    They consume a fairly high volume of air so while the pressure is manageable from a portable compressor you'd never have the volume. It basically uses a pneumatic piston to operate the piston that would usually be lever actuated. Runs a bit quicker but needs lots of air flow.

    Yeah I pretty much decided on weight alone that they were useless as a recovery jack.

    I think it's an airbag jack for me, and a 2nd hydraulic one of course !
