The Sealey 2500LE Yankee Low Entry Trolley Jack is a professional-grade 2.5 tonne trolley jack designed for lifting sports cars, custom vehicles and low-profile cars with minimal ground clearance. Engineered with a twin piston Rocket Lift feature, this low entry trolley jack raises the saddle to maximum height in minimal pumping strokes, reducing effort during operation. The profiled lifting arm provides an exceptionally low clearance height of just 88mm, making it ideal for accessing vehicles with lowered suspension or aerodynamic body kits that conventional jacks cannot reach.

The universal joint release mechanism enables safer, more controlled lowering of the vehicle, whilst an overload valve provides protection against exceeding the rated capacity.
