What jacks do NASCAR people use?

Question

I know there hydronic jacks and its harder to lift because of how high it rises with one pump but what are they called? I've tried many jacks and I hate how I have to pump it 10 times to even hit the frame of the car. I'm lifting at least 10 cars a day on a slow one so want some info about the other ones that lift the wheel up or close to in one pump

Answer 1

Most are made by Brunnhoelzl..



But you can get aTorin jack, aluminum, that will pump up

a lot faster than the one you are using for around $150-200.

Of course, it is not the same quality.

But it's 10% the price tag.



But as mentioned, there is always that trade off.

It takes more effort, to get fewer pumps.

It's still mechanical advantage..

Answer 2

Nascar Jacks

Answer 3

Joe most race jacks will lift a car in 2-3 pumps. Speedway puts out a nice pit jack it cost about $200. If you work on cars for real and lift at least 10 cars a day then you need a lift not a jack. Northern tools has a nice lift for around $2000.

Answer 4

They're called jacks..lol They run about 2K for top quality 1-2 pump jack or $1500 for a 2-4 pump jack, Regardless you need a jackman that can get a full pump. Just go to racing equipment sites bro.

Answer 5

First of all, it's not "hydronic", it's hydraulic.



Secondly, if you have a hydraulic jack that you're using, look at the part of it that the pad attaches to that raises up out of the frame of the jack. If there is a hole near the center of it, like most of them have, then all you have to do is stick the handle in the hole and raise it up until it contacts the vehicles frame. That's why the hole is there.

unless you car sits three inches off the ground and has two inches of suspension travel a NASCAR style jack isn't going to work. You may consider a scissor jack
