The editorial staff devotes today's mini-rating to jacks – an almost irreplaceable thing that a motorist may need at any second in any road conditions. Our specialists were faced with the task of choosing the four best hydraulic models that can cope with different tasks, and at the same time are characterized by a democratic cost. Therefore, we did not consider models for many tens of thousands of rubles in this review.

Rating of the best hydraulic jacks

KRAFT KT 800026

Rating: 4.9

The first to consider is the convenient and inexpensive bottle-type hydraulic jack available under the Kraft brand. This is a specific trade mark that actively positions itself in plain text as German, but many obvious signs point to its Russian origin. Nevertheless, the range of Kraft auto tools and accessories is very wide, and the products are of sufficient quality and are in demand.

The bottle hydraulic jack of this series is extremely easy to maintain, reliable in operation, compact and convenient. It is able to smoothly lift the load and precisely set it at the desired height, while requiring minimal physical effort for the operator. The maximum carrying capacity is 2 tons. With a lifting height of 165 mm, the jack lifts the load to a height of 410 mm.

The model has a built-in self-safety feature that will not allow the tool to fail due to improper use. So, for example, if there is an attempt to lift significantly more weight than the technical characteristics allow, a special safety valve will work and the load will smoothly lower.

Other features of the product: telescopic bar shape, comfortable folding handle, use of frost-resistant oil that does not lose its properties down to 45 degrees below zero.

Delivery includes hydraulic 'bottle' part, handle and instruction manual.

Advantages

• stability;
• safety;
• smooth rise and precise fixation;
• compact size.

disadvantages

• there are cases of factory defects, replacement is carried out without problems.

Stels 51130

Rating: 4.8

Our experts have selected the second hydraulic jack in the rating specially for those motorists who prefer the minimum clearance. This is a model of the famous Russian brand of Stels instruments.

The tool is made in a rolling form factor with a minimum pickup height of 80 mm. This allows it to serve most of modern cars with low ground clearance or artificially low ones. Lift is carried out to a height of 380 mm with precise fixation. Carrying capacity – 2 tons.

The hydraulic jack is manufactured in a robust metal housing with a reinforced structure. It weighs quite a bit – 12.5. The delivery set includes a platform and a rubber pad on the support part. Like the previous model, it has its own overload protection – a safety valve.

A separate advantage of this hydraulic jack model is determined by its very form factor – thanks to the wheels, the tool is extremely convenient to use due to its maneuverability.

Advantages

• low pickup;
• reinforced construction;
• maneuverability;
• overload protection.

disadvantages

• no pronounced disadvantages were recorded.

Stella TG30

Rating: 4.7

The next example of a hydraulic jack in our rating is another Russian-made model that covers a slightly different segment of tasks. So, its design features and a number of technical characteristics make it possible to successfully use the tool when servicing heavy special equipment or when carrying out various specific work such as laying railway tracks.

The tool is even more low-grip than the previous model – the pick-up height is only 15 mm. Lifting by the hook is 160 mm. Carrying capacity – 3 tons.

The hydraulic jack was made in an extremely simple design, where the main emphasis was on endurance and reliability. The net weight is 21 kg.

This model is distinguished by high reliability, ease of use, reliable protection of the metal body from corrosion, and minimal operator effort. The unit initially has an impressive working life and a long nominal service life. But, in any case, if you have any questions about the correctness of the work, you can easily contact any of the many Stella service centers.

Advantages

• convenience and ease of use;
• minimum pickup height;
• reliability and durability;
• quality service from the manufacturer;
• effective protection against corrosion;
• does not require special care.

disadvantages

• quite high cost.

SPARTA 50328

Rating: 4.6

The mini-rating of the best hydraulic jacks according to the version is completed by a special model of the SPARTA trademark.

The tool is made in a bottle form factor and is characterized by an exceptional carrying capacity – up to 20 tons. This characteristic makes it possible to use the jack for servicing especially heavy special equipment or for carrying out large-scale construction and installation work.

The pickup height of this model is 250 mm – hence it is clear that the tool will not be able to service machines with low ground clearance, but this is an inevitable feature caused by structural moments. The rise is carried out by 470 mm. Dimensions of the jack in the package – 158x158x250, weight in the package – 10.1 kg.

The manufacturer emphasizes that this jack is not intended for long-term holding of the load in weight or moving it, but only for a one-time lifting to install a rigid support.

Advantages

• exceptional carrying capacity;
• reliability;
• ease of use;
• affordable price for such a carrying capacity.

disadvantages

• the highest pickup in the collection.
