Safety-Focused Car Lifts

The 'CrossJack' Has an X-Shaped Base for Increased Stability

— February 13, 2020 — Autos
Conventional car jacks are often associated with having a somewhat precarious design that could result in injury, so the 'CrossJack' has been designed to help change this. The car jack features an X-shaped base that works to dramatically increase the stability of the unit to prevent it from collapsing as the vehicle is lifted off the ground. The unit comes in both Standard and Pro model choices, and will work effectively for amateur or advanced drivers to help them dramatically increase their confidence when raising their vehicle for maintenance.

The 'CrossJack' is crafted from heavy-duty steel and is capable of lifting at least 3,000 pounds, while still being able to be folded down for compact storage in a trunk or garage.
