class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A car jack is mechanical or hydraulic equipment designed to lift a vehicle&#8217;s weight. It is used to raise vehicles off the ground when changing a tire or during other car maintenance processes. Car jacks are an essential component for car repairs, whether you work as a professional mechanic or you prefer to manage your own vehicle repairs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Car_jack_vs_jack_stands\"><\/span>Car jack vs jack stands<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wrenchers.com\/media\/wysiwyg\/blog\/ranger-rjs-6t-6-ton-jack-stand-heavy-duty-5150120-pair-front-01.jpg\" alt=\"Ranger professional grade jack stand set\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Car jacks and jack stands might work together, but they serve different purposes. A car jack is designed to lift your vehicle off the ground\u2014it\u2019s not built to hold it there while you work. That\u2019s why jacks are ideal for quick jobs like changing a flat tire: lift the car, swap the wheel, and you\u2019re done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But if you&#8217;re planning to get underneath the vehicle or leave it raised for any length of time, you\u2019ll need jack stands. After lifting the car with a jack, position your jack stands underneath to support the weight safely. They\u2019re essential for tasks like oil changes, underbody inspections, and driveshaft repairs\u2014any job where stability and safety are non-negotiable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Types_of_car_jacks\"><\/span>Types of car jacks<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are different&nbsp;<a>brands<\/a>, types, and sizes of car jacks. They include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a><strong>Floor jacks:<\/strong><\/a>&nbsp;Allows people to lift a part of a vehicle using a hand lever<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a><strong>Bottle jacks:<\/strong><\/a>&nbsp;Has an elongated, cylindrical body and elevate vehicles higher than a floor jack<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a><strong>Scissor jacks:<\/strong><\/a>&nbsp;Operated with a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/monroeengineering.com\/blog\/what-is-a-crank-handle-used-for\/\">hand crank<\/a>&nbsp;and are more suitable for lifting lower-weight cars<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_safely_jack_up_a_car_with_a_car_jack_or_jack_stand\"><\/span>How to safely jack up a car with a car jack or jack stand<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Park_and_secure_your_car\"><\/span>Park and secure your car<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Start by parking your car on a flat, paved surface. This will help prevent it from rolling or shifting and provide a stable base so the jack doesn\u2019t tilt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re on a slight incline and cannot find level ground, then park as close as possible to a curb and turn the wheels inward. You should never use a car jack on surfaces such as dirt, grass, or gravel, as this can cause the jack to collapse or slip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once parked, engage the emergency brake firmly. For&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kbb.com\/car-advice\/manual-cars-guide\/#:~:text=A%20manual%20transmission%20car%20is,referred%20to%20as%20%E2%80%9Cstandard.%E2%80%9D\">manual transmission cars<\/a>, shift the car into first gear as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Chock_the_wheels\"><\/span>Chock the wheels<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>After securely parking the car,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Wheel_chock\">use chocks<\/a>&nbsp;to secure the wheels or tires. If you\u2019re lifting the front driver\u2019s side, chock the rear passenger-side tire. If you\u2019re lifting the back of the car, block the front wheels, and vice versa. This prevents the wheels from accidentally rolling while lifted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you don\u2019t have a chock, you can use bricks or wood blocks that won\u2019t crush under the car&#8217;s weight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Place_the_car_jack\"><\/span>Place the car jack<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Every vehicle has designated jack points, usually behind the front wheels, in front of the rear wheels, and at specific points along the car frame. Always place your jack on those marked points. Placing it under random parts can damage the car or cause the jack to slip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before using the car jack, ensure it has adequate weight capacity for your vehicle. The tool should be able to support at least 50 percent of the car\u2019s weight. For example, a commercial truck weighing around 20,000 lbs needs a car jack with a capacity of 10,000 lbs. You can check the equipment&#8217;s manual to confirm its capacity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Where you\u2019ll place the car jack depends on the part of the car you need to lift:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Choose a jack point at the center of the front if you need to lift the front of the car (the same applies to the rear)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If you only need to raise one wheel, lift just that specific corner of the vehicle<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you\u2019ve located the jack point, slide the car jack under it and align the saddle. Make sure the car jack is stable and sitting flat on the ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Raise_the_car_jack\"><\/span>Raise the car jack<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When you\u2019re sure the car jack is secure, begin raising the car. If you\u2019re using a hydraulic jack, place the handle into the body of the jack and pump steadily until it connects with the designated jack point. If you\u2019re using a scissor jack, insert the rod and turn it clockwise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While lifting the car to your desired height or ground clearance, ensure to pay close attention to the vehicle\u2019s stability. If it is leaning or shifting, stop immediately and reposition it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Place_the_jack_stands\"><\/span>Place the jack stands<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Never go under a car if it\u2019s not supported by jack stands. Locate reinforced points along the car frame and then place the jack stand. These are usually near the jack point, or you can \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/weldingempire.com\/what-is-a-pinch-weld\/#:~:text=A%20pinch%20weld%20also%20known,heat%2C%20pressure%2C%20and%20time.\">pinch weld<\/a>\u201d close to where you placed the jack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Slide the jack stand under the car frame, adjust the height, and lock it in place with a screw, pin, or pall (depending on the type of jack). You can now slowly lower the car, letting it rest on the stand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the vehicle is in place, you can remove the jack and gently push the car to ensure stability. You might hear a small creaking sound as the car transfers its weight, which is absolutely normal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Lower_the_car_safely\"><\/span>Lower the car safely<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>After completing your repair or maintenance, use the car jack to raise the vehicle higher by one or two inches, then remove the jack stands. Slowly turn the handle of your scissor jack counterclockwise or open the release valve of your hydraulic jack to lower the car. Then, remove the wheel chocks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tips_on_how_to_safely_jack_up_a_car\"><\/span>Tips on how to safely jack up a car<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Use_a_QuickJack\"><\/span>Use a QuickJack<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wrenchers.com\/media\/wysiwyg\/blog\/QuickJack-Portable-Car-Lift-Blog.jpg\" alt=\"QuickJack portable Car Lifts available at Wrenchers\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the safest and most efficient alternatives to traditional car jacks is the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wrenchers.com\/brands\/quickjack\/\">QuickJack portable car lift.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike manual jacks, which require you to precisely place the equipment and then slowly lift the car, a quick jack is portable and has a hydraulic system that raises your entire vehicle in seconds with the push of a button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>QuickJacks lift both sides of your car at the same time, distributing weight evenly and reducing the risk of the car moving.

Quickjack options include a crossbeam adapter, motorcycle adapter kit, an ATV adapter kit, stackable adapters, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wrenchers.com\/brands\/quickjack\/?srsltid=AfmBOopv7eD7aN0huzQld_l26F4RTKCWs-UsygZ_D2yXyY2jwR4XktkN\">Visit Wrenchers to learn more.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to choosing the right jack, professional garages often use <a href=\"https:\/\/autoleap.com\/features\/inventory\/\">auto parts inventory management software<\/a> to monitor tools and replacement parts, so when it\u2019s time to lift a vehicle for service, everything from jack stands to brake pads is ready and available.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FAQs_on_car_jacks_jack_stands\"><\/span>FAQs on car jacks &amp; jack stands<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_do_I_put_the_jack_under_my_car\"><\/span>Where do I put the jack under my car?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>There are designated spots under your car frame for putting a jack, usually located just behind the front wheels and just in front of the rear wheels along the car\u2019s frame.

The jacks are usually stored in the trunk or under a rear floor panel. However, some newer models of cars, such as electric vehicles, may not include one.
