Garage jacks - an essential tool in every car service
Let’s be honest - it’s hard to imagine daily operation without a jack. If there’s no automotive lifting device on hand, many repair tasks simply aren’t possible. Just try working on an engine without an engine stand. Such a device allows you to rotate the engine into a position that makes repair or assembly much easier.

Or a crane.

Or engine support stands - screw-type supports - which allow you to work safely when lifting the engine or other disassembled components.

Types of garage jacks
In this category you’ll find the following types of garage lifting equipment:

• Engine crane
• Engine stand
• Screw-type car support stand
• Transmission jack

These garage jacks allow for safe handling in various scenarios - from component removal/installation to working on the component itself. A transmission jack, for instance, makes it easier to remove or install a gearbox.

All the lifting equipment available in this category is ready for typical garage challenges. Without them, many repairs would be extremely difficult to carry out.

Garage hydraulic jacks, such as the crane, are useful for removing an engine or transmission from the vehicle. A screw-type support stand helps when holding a part in place - for example, during the removal of exhaust system components. Whether it’s the muffler or the entire system, these tools make it easier. There are countless situations in which these types of garage jacks for passenger and commercial vehicles will come in handy.

The transmission jack is indispensable for gearbox work. Sure - you could try removing the gearbox without it. But why struggle? By using the right lifting equipment, you reduce strain on your back. And after years of working in a car service, you’ll feel the difference.

Why lift it yourself when the machine can do it for you?

Just keep one very important thing in mind: all the lifting devices in this category are equipped with single-acting hydraulic cylinders. To put it simply - they’re designed to lift, not hold.

In other words - when you lift a component, it should only remain on the jack for as long as needed. Always try to provide additional support underneath. Don’t leave the lifted item unsupported overnight, as it may slowly lower itself over time. This could cause serious damage.

Example: you place an engine on a hydraulic garage jack. Over time (usually hours), the internal cylinder begins to retract to its original position. That means the item will slowly start to descend. Without proper support, the engine could end up on the floor.

This is not a fault in the crane or support stands. It’s simply the physics behind how single-acting hydraulic cylinders work in garage lifting equipment.

Garage jacks that should be in every well-equipped car service
A garage jack is a crucial tool for any professional car service. When chosen correctly, it can significantly speed up your workflow. We won’t list which jack is best for you - that depends entirely on your specific needs, expectations, and budget.
