Katool KT-M3000 Mini Side Car Lift - 7,716 lb Hydraulic Car Side Lift Jack

The Katool KT-M3000 mini side car lift is compact tire change equipment that transforms wheel service and vehicle maintenance with its 7,716-pound capacity in a remarkably portable 52.9-pound unit. This professional-grade side car lift positions directly alongside vehicles for immediate wheel access, serving automotive shops, mobile tire services, and garage owners who need fast tire changes and lifting without permanent bay installation.

With its ultra-low 3.7-inch profile and dual-speed hydraulic operation, the KT-M3000 slides under vehicles other lifts cannot reach and completes lifts in just 10-20 seconds on fast mode. The rolling mechanism enables instant repositioning while handling everything from compact cars to full-size SUVs and light trucks, making routine tire changes and brake service faster and more efficient.

Superior Capacity-to-Weight Performance - At just 52.9 pounds, this mini side car lift safely raises up to 7,716 pounds for tire changes and brake work. The compact design delivers exceptional portability while lifting full-size vehicles that exceed most portable competitors' 5,000-6,000 pound limits, giving shops more capability from a smaller jack.
Ultra-Low Profile Access - The 3.7-inch minimum height lets this low-profile side car lift slide under lowered vehicles and side skirts that exclude thicker competitor units. It extends to 18.5 inches so techs can work at a more comfortable height during tire changes, brake jobs, and suspension checks.
Dual-Speed Efficiency - Fast 10-20 second lift cycles reduce service time compared to manual jacks when moving through tire change jobs. The slower 20-40 second mode allows precise positioning and controlled lifting for more delicate wheel, brake, or suspension work.
Installation-Free Mobility - A rolling mechanism and compact 45.6" × 16.5" footprint let operators position the lift exactly where tire changes and inspections are happening. No concrete anchoring is required, so shops and mobile tire services can adapt bay layouts and workflows quickly.
