Buying guide: a floor jack under $200
Lift range is the whole game
Measure your lowest vehicle’s jacking point and your tallest vehicle’s. A sedan may need a start under 4 in; a pickup may need 20 in at the top. No single cheap jack does both perfectly, so pick for the vehicle you lift most, or see the best low-profile floor jacks for low cars.
Capacity
A floor jack lifts one end or corner, so a 3 ton jack covers almost any car, SUV or half-ton pickup. 2.5 ton jacks suit cars.
Single or dual piston
Dual piston pumps reach the car in fewer strokes. Single piston jacks are slower but work fine for occasional tire changes.
Weight
These jacks run from 30 to about 64 lb. If you carry the jack, lighter matters; if it lives in the garage, it does not.
Always add stands
A floor jack is for lifting only. Put the car on rated jack stands before you go under it. For tire changes, a cordless impact wrench speeds up the lug nuts.
A jack is for lifting, not holding. Never work under a vehicle supported only by a jack: set it on rated jack stands, on solid, level ground, at the manufacturer's lift points, chock the wheels, and give the car a firm shake before you go under. Read our Safety Disclaimer.
Frequently Asked Questions
What size floor jack do I need?
A 3 ton jack covers nearly every car, SUV and half-ton pickup, because it lifts one end at a time. Choose by lift range first: the start must fit under your lowest car and the top must clear your tallest one’s wheels.
Is a 2 ton jack enough for an SUV?
Capacity may be, but lift height often is not. Most 2 to 2.5 ton jacks top out around 13 to 15 in, which may not lift an SUV’s wheel off the ground. Look for 18 in or more.
What is ASME PASE?
The American safety standard for portable automotive service equipment, covering jacks and stands. On these listings it is the manufacturer’s own claim of compliance.
Do I need jack stands with a floor jack?
Yes, always. A hydraulic jack can leak down or slip. Use a pair of rated stands on solid, level ground before working under the car.
How do I store a floor jack?
Fully lowered, with the release valve closed, on a level floor. Storing it raised keeps the seals under load.
