What Is a Low Lift Transmission Jack?

Also known as a low profile transmission jack, a low lift transmission jack is the best solution for working with heavy engine parts underneath a vehicle on jack stands. 

Much like a floor jack, a low lift transmission jack is on wheels and slides underneath a vehicle into place, for removing components that detach and are removed through the bottom of the engine assembly. 

Because of the differing designs among many models and manufacturers, a low lift transmission jack pairs well with a car hoist transmission jack for a professional auto shop, so you can remove parts from underneath and from overhead. 

What Are the Benefits of a Low Lift Transmission Jack?

Transmissions and other large engine parts are often expensive and weigh more than one or two people can reasonably and carefully lift. 

A low lift transmission jack allows these unwieldy parts to be safely and quickly adjusted, removed, or replaced completely. 

PASSCA equipment all uses high quality materials, skilled manufacturing technicians, and a thorough inspection process to ensure each customer gets a tool that will last them a long time and through many difficult tasks. 

What Specifications of Low Lift Transmission Jack Does PASSCA Offer?

PASSCA is proud to offer four different models of low lift transmission jacks, to help each level of consumer find the most suitable option for their personal or professional vehicle. 

It is important to look at the specifications of the transmission or other components that you will be working with, to make sure they are not too heavy for your transmission jack. 

While some people, with one task to do, could possibly get away with a 450 lbs. low lift transmission jack from a big box store, PASSCA makes professional equipment so our smallest low lift transmission jack is model #80901 which has a capacity of 500 kg (around 1100 pounds). 

We also make a 1 ton low lift transmission jack, a 1.5 ton low lift transmission jack, and a 2 ton low lift transmission jack, so if you are working with any transmission up to 2000 kg or 4400 lb, we have you covered. 

PASSCA also makes a wider range of high lift transmission jacks, for working under cars that are completely lifted. 

What Is the Best Type of Transmission Jack?

The type of transmission jack that will best suit you depends entirely on the setup in your garage and the vehicle you will be working on; for this reason, PASSCA offers excellent customer support to help each person or company meet their specific needs. 

A low lift transmission jack works best under cars that are on jack stands or lifted trucks; the total lift height of a low transmission jack can not reach higher targets. 

A high lift transmission jack is meant for vehicles that are up on a car lift, and can extend as high as 6 feet. 

For a home garage, a low lift transmission jack is best; while a professional shop should have at least one of each type to allow them to work on different components. 

How to Use a Low Lift Transmission Jack?

A low lift transmission jack works similarly to any other floor jack, although they have many extra features for ease of use and safety. 

Simply move the jack underneath the component you want to secure or move and raise the jack saddle into place using the hydraulic power. 

The hydraulics of the low lift transmission jacks allow them to smoothly and quickly lift or lower heavy engine parts, while the safety features such as the transmission adapter and chains keep the payload held fast. 

Ensure that you adjust the part so its center of gravity is in the middle of the jack saddle; this will reduce the risk of tipping over, although with low lift transmission jacks that should not be a problem. 

Can I Use a Motorcycle Jack as a Transmission Jack?

It depends; many motorcycle jacks will not have the proper clearance for working underneath a vehicle based on their design. 

It is much safer and easier to use jack only for their intended purpose, because so much of each individual design is based on ease of use and safety. 

Can I Use a Floor Jack as a Low Lift Transmission Jack?

A standard floor jack could theoretically be used as a transmission jack after adding a suitable transmission adapter. 

For transmission jack floor work, make sure to use an adaptor approved by your jack manufacturer; homemade solutions tend to be unstable and potentially dangerous to the operator. 

How Do I Find the Best Low Lift Transmission Jack for Sale for Professional Use?

When you are choosing a transmission jack for professional use, the largest concern is the type of vehicles you will be servicing. 

For example, a transmission jack for heavy trucks may need a larger weight capacity or bigger transmission cradle than passenger vehicles; an 18 wheeler transmission jack would need to be a truly massive piece of equipment. 

For a home garage, space will be a larger concern, so we recommend the smallest jack that still meets the needs of each vehicle in the household.
