Eurotec Frog Jack 2.5 Ton: Saws, Flange, Wooden Block & Support Ideas for Car Lifting

Question

Hello, I recently bought a 2.5 ton eurotec frog jack for my car. Mainly to lift it more efficiently, e.g. for tire changes or brake pads replacement. The problem is that there were no saws in the jack set. And now I wonder what to get such a manger from. A few years ago, I replaced the central...

Maybe, but I would have given a larger plate as a base, unless you put it on a hard surface. At the top, you could put on a thick rubber, which would protect against the paintwork or maintenance.

I'm only going to do some DIY with the car in the garage, so it will be on concrete. And as for rubber as a washer, where to get one? Because the jack has such a rubber, but I have to use it for it so as not to destroy the threshold when lifting. Anyway, if the frog has such a rubber pad, I can lift the car anywhere on the sill, or only in places designated by the manufacturer?

Only in designated places. And comfortable factory-made Kobyłki with adjustable height can be purchased for several dozen zlotys. Does it make sense to wonder?

If you have wooden blocks, what to combine with such posts? For me, these blocks are more reliable (and I use bricks + a board for the top), but I rather put them under the elements supporting the engine, and not under the edge of the threshold.

Exactly You have the option of adjusting it by the way so you'll have it easier.

Bricks are rather safe, they are not safe, such a brick may break under pressure, crumble ... It is better wooden blocks.

enhanced · Answer

I don't know what bricks you mean, but not full white and small ones, so there are 2-3 pieces depending on how high and on the case. There is no option to break, and I have no way of scattering.

I understand when someone puts holes in it, yes - it must not be used, but full yes.

I do not see Kobyłki very much. Somehow I would feel more confident with bricks / wooden blocks.

Don't wonder about bricks because it's dangerous. Nowadays, for dog's money, you can buy a set of adjustable trestles for funny money. And it's safe and cheap.

There are rubbers for jacks on Allegro: Rubber for jacks. If you decide to buy mantles from the store, for example: For a car weighing more than 1.5 tons, they are too delicate - this is my impression of using them. . I made metal:

They do not scratch the paint?

vodiczka · Answer

When I see some cheap marens, I would probably not feel comfortable with them. I made trestles from four (solid) height-adjustable office chairs. A piece of C profile with 30mm thick hard rubber glued in to the movable pipe. Through holes are drilled in the pipe at several levels and locked with an M8 bolt secured with a nut.

freebsd · Answer

They will probably break the varnish somewhere - although this is not visible at first glance. Wooden pads also scratch the protective layers. The column lifts work perfectly upwards, and the frogs do not - especially as the ground is a bit uneven. Before winter, I look at the bottom of the car and paint all scratches (from stones, branches, ruts, jacks, etc.) with what I have at hand: asphalt varnish, spray lamb).

Jamesbond664478 · Answer

After reading your posts, I guess you're right, colleagues, it's better to buy a manger for a few zlotys, just tell me what the best would be. Some proven company? Having such a manger, where should you put it under the car? Front and rear

stanislaw1954 · Answer

Not under the sills, but under the spring mounting, and in the front under the place where the entire front suspension is mounted.
