This one lifts to 530mm

We keep one of those on each of the Recovery trucks - good bit of kit for occasional use.
For landy work I prefer to put the trolley jack on a wooden block (8x3 with notches to hold the wheels) rather than work with the jack at full extension.

i use one of these for my two seems good and stable, heavy though wouldn't want to be lifting it in and out of motors often.

I have a 4 ton halfords bottle jack is there anywhere that does a head adapter to make it useable under an axle etc or is it something I will have to make myself?

I use one of these to but its starting to get tired now as as soon as you stop jacking it starts to creep down but I always use axle stands anyway but will buy a 3 ton one next as a 90 is a bit heavyer

You can re-seal them with a seal kit.

The £39.99 one's OK, but a bigger one would make life a whole lot easier. Like a few people in this thread I bought the biggest trolley jack I could find for around £100 and it's been excellent. Much less stress on the jack (so I hope it'll last longer) and it feels a lot more stable - I wouldn't want to go back to messing about with little jacks now.

Second that, I bought a machine mart trolley jack for just over a £100 and it's lifted everything I've thrown at it , Mk3 mondeo , P38a, my 2a 109' and the whole front end of my mates 90's when his wheel nuts came loose lol
