The Draper Low Profile Bottle Jack is a 10 tonne hydraulic lifting device designed for vehicles with limited ground clearance. With a minimum lifting height of just 125mm, this bottle jack is ideal for lowering sports cars, modified vehicles, and commercial vans, whilst remaining versatile enough for use on most standard cars and light commercial vehicles. Built for durability and reliability, this jack features a welded base and reservoir construction that enhances structural strength whilst minimising the risk of hydraulic fluid leaks. The chrome-plated pump piston resists corrosion to extend service life, making it suitable for both workshop and mobile use. The two-stage ram design delivers efficient lifting through the 90mm hydraulic stroke, whilst the four-piece operating handle allows for compact storage when not in use. Safety is integral to the design, with an internal overload valve providing protection against exceeding the 10 tonne capacity. The jack has been fully tested and certified for safe, reliable operation, giving professional mechanics and vehicle technicians confidence during lifting operations.
