Setup and Safety Guidelines
Before using your Ranger RFJ-3000LPF floor jack:
- Inspect hydraulic fluid level and check for leaks before first use.
- Test pump action to ensure smooth operation and proper lifting response.
- Position jack saddle at vehicle manufacturer's designated jacking points only.
- Always use jack stands to support the vehicle once lifted - never work under a vehicle supported only by the floor jack.
- Check that lifting surface is level and solid before positioning the jack.

Frequently Asked Questions
How low can this floor jack go compared to standard models?
The RFJ-3000LPF has a 2.75-inch collapsed height, making it significantly lower than most standard floor jacks which typically start around 4-5 inches. This allows access to sports cars, lowered vehicles, and race cars with minimal ground clearance that standard jacks cannot service safely.
What makes the 34-inch chassis length important?
The extended chassis reaches factory jacking points on long wheelbase vehicles and provides better stability when lifting at the vehicle's designated lift points. This eliminates the need to use improvised or unsafe lift locations, ensuring proper weight distribution and reducing the risk of vehicle damage during lifting operations.
Is 3,000 lbs capacity sufficient for most vehicles?
Yes, the 3,000 lb capacity handles most passenger cars, sports cars, and light trucks effectively. It's specifically designed for the low-clearance vehicles it can access. Most sports cars and passenger vehicles weigh between 2,500-4,000 lbs, making this capacity appropriate for corner lifting where you're supporting roughly one-quarter of the vehicle's weight.
How does this compare to aluminum low profile floor jacks?
This steel construction offers greater durability and stability than aluminum alternatives, with double-sealed hydraulics providing longer service life in professional use environments. While aluminum jacks are lighter, the steel frame provides better resistance to flex under load and maintains hydraulic seal integrity better over time with heavy use.
What type of wheels does it have for mobility?
The jack uses fixed front wheels and rear swivel casters for positioning around the garage. Under load, the jack resists rolling but slight movement can occur as the saddle aligns during lifting. Always use wheel chocks and jack stands for safety during vehicle service operations.
