Trolley Jack 4T

A high-capacity hydraulic floor jack designed for lifting heavy SUVs, full-size pickup trucks, large vans, and light commercial vehicles. The 4-ton (8,000 lb / 3,629 kg) rating provides a robust safety margin for heavier personal and light commercial vehicles.

How It Works

It uses a hydraulic piston and pump system, activated by a long handle, to lift a large, stable saddle. It rolls on durable wheels/casters for positioning under axles or frame rails.

Key Design & Specs

• Capacity: 4 Tons (8,000 lbs). Ideal for vehicles in the 5,000-7,000 lb range.
• Construction: Heavy-duty welded steel frame, wide base for stability, large reinforced saddle.
• Lift Range: Typically features a low starting height (~5 inches) to clear solid axles and a high maximum lift (18-22 inches) for ample workspace.
• Weight & Portability: Substantial weight (60-100 lbs), but often includes a handle lift point for two-person movement. Built for shop durability.

Primary Applications

• Full-Size Trucks & SUVs: Ford F-150, Chevrolet Silverado, large SUVs.
• Heavy-Duty Vans & Light Commercial Vehicles.
• Large Sedans & Performance Cars (with high clearance).
• Equipment Trailers, Riding Lawn Tractors, ATV/UTV Maintenance.

Critical Safety & Operating Rules

• LIFT ONLY, NEVER SUPPORT: ABSOLUTELY NEVER get under a vehicle supported only by this jack. Use as the first step to raise the vehicle, then immediately place 4T-rated (or higher) jack stands under the frame/axle before any work.
• Lift on Approved Points Only: Use only on the vehicle’s structurally reinforced lift points (solid axles, frame rails, or factory lift pads). Never lift on the differential housing, suspension components, or body panels.
• Solid, Level Ground Required: Use only on clean, level, and solid concrete. Asphalt can fail under the concentrated load.
• Ensure Stability: Center the saddle perfectly on the lift point. Pump slowly and watch for any vehicle shift or jack tilt. Stop immediately if unstable.
• Chock Wheels: Always chock the wheels on the opposite end of the vehicle that is not being lifted.
• Pre-Use Inspection: Check for hydraulic fluid leaks, inspect the frame and saddle for cracks, and test the release valve before loading.
• Controlled Operation: Keep body clear of the handle’s swing path. Lower the load slowly and with full control using the release valve.

Bottom Line

A 4-ton trolley jack is the ideal heavy-duty choice for owners of trucks and large SUVs, providing the power, lift height, and stability needed for safe maintenance. It is a professional-grade lifting tool that demands respect. Its safe use is defined by one rule: it is only for lifting; jack stands are for supporting. Always follow the 3-step sequence: Chock > Jack > Stand.
