trolley jack recommendations?

[Nigeyboy]

I am looking to get a couple of low entry jacks for the T350 + plus 2 pairs of axle stands. Currently thinking of the Clarke 1.25T low entry jack and the Draper 2-Tonne ea ratchet stands (as these seem to have a decent curve for the saddle to fit to chassis).

Does anyone have any other recommendations or views etc..

Thx

Is that Clarke jack the snazzy Blue and silver alloy one?

If so, excellent bit of kit

Yes. The 1.25T jack does the job, costs about £50 on flee bay. I use a rubber exhaust hanger with the middle removed, over the bolts on the lifting points so it does not damage the lifting pad.

A bog standard Halfrauds trolley jack fits under our T350. It goes under at the rear wheels without catching, I just move it to where it's needed from there. Wasn't expensive either and easier (just!) than fleabay.

I bought the Clarke one for my T350 and it works fine

Yes it was the clarke blue / silver jobby. I have the std Halfrauds one and it's a PITA, but does fit. Just looking to have two to make the job easier and the lifting looks like it should take far fewer goes, if you know what I mean.

What about the axle stands then.......?

The clarke aluminium one is the nuts! A joy to use as well as able to go very low.

Yep, I have one too and works a treat - just keep all those hex bolts tightened as they seem to work loose with use.
