Frequently Asked Questions
What vehicles can this 3-ton floor jack safely lift?
The RFJ-3T safely lifts passenger cars, light trucks, and SUVs weighing up to 6,000 lbs. Its low 4.75-inch minimum height fits under lowered sports cars and modified vehicles, while the 20.5-inch maximum height provides sufficient clearance for larger SUVs and pickup trucks within the weight capacity.
How does this compare to standard floor jacks?
This racing jack offers superior maneuverability with its compact 28-inch chassis length compared to standard 34-inch jacks, making it ideal for tight spaces. The flanged side plates provide enhanced grip stability, while the double-sealed hydraulic system offers better contamination protection than basic single-seal designs found in entry-level jacks.
Is this floor jack suitable for professional shop use?
Yes, the RFJ-3T is specifically engineered for demanding professional environments and heavy daily use. Its reinforced steel construction resists frame twist under maximum loads, while the built-in overload protection prevents hydraulic damage. The jack meets strict ANSI safety guidelines required for commercial automotive service facilities and handles thousands of lift cycles.
What makes the flanged side plates different from regular jack designs?
Flanged side plates feature raised edges that create secure channels designed to grip vehicle frame rails and designated lift points, preventing dangerous slippage during operation. Unlike flat pad designs, the flanged configuration wraps around contact surfaces for enhanced stability and helps distribute lifting forces more evenly across the contact area for safer operation.
