Mechanisms of TD "Avtoprofi" intended for servicing cars, have excellent performance characteristics, are convenient to use. The key difference between the options on sale is lifting capacity.

Jacks from this manufacturer are:

• bottle;

• movable;

• mechanical (screw and telescopic).

Roll-up is great for vehicles with low ground clearance, the minimum working height of such devices is 135 mm.

Suitable for almost all modern machines telescopic and screw modifications. Their lifting capacity is from 1 to 2 tons. This is enough for A class cars, sedans and hatchbacks. Screw jacks are also called rhombic, their support can be ordinary and rubber.

The most reliable mechanical models are considered to be equipped with a screw.... They will work under any conditions. And the cost of such devices is democratic. It is impossible to lift them unless massive cars.

Telescopic types of jacks are equipped with an extended lever and are similar in configuration to bottle jacks... There is no liquid in them, to raise the machine you have to use your hands. The carrying capacity of such models is 2 tons.

When operating hydraulic devices overload is allowed within 25%. For example, model DG-02 it is capable of lifting 2500 kg, but it is necessary to observe the lifting capacity indicated in the technical passport, which is 2 tons.

The presence of protection will not allow you to lift weight more than indicated. If it becomes necessary to lift a mass over 2.5 tons, DG-02 can't do it. This protection is available in all AUTOPROFI hydraulic products with a lifting capacity from 2 to 20 tons.

Separately, it must be said about the telescopic model. DT-04. Its piston has 2 sections, the main one extends by 35 cm, and the second adds another 3 cm.

Bottle modifications should be transported vertically, otherwise oil leakage will occur. With proper use, there will be no need to replace and add lubricant. If an oil change is still needed, then to do this, unscrew the bypass valve, drain the old one and rinse the container. When filling in a new one, the piston must be lowered. After pumping, the amount of grease may decrease.

The lifting capacity of AUTOPROFI rolling jacks is 2 tons. Modifications DP-20H K, DP-20K and DP-17K Comes with a practical carrying case. All devices are equipped with a plastic handle. This is a great option for those who like to tinker with the car in the garage.

The jack should be selected in accordance with the curb weight of the vehicle.... To this figure, add another 100-200 kg for reliability.

Some people acquire a mechanism for moving a load resting on it, weighing even less than the mass of the car. In most cases, not all cars have to be lifted, but only part of it - this is enough to replace a wheel. But with this approach to the choice, the likelihood of damage to the jack increases.

When choosing a car jack, you should consider not only its type, but also maximum height, product cost. Remember that this device is designed to raise the machine, not to hold it. Work with the jack on a flat surface so as not to damage the car.
