Arcan ALJ3T Quick Rise Aluminum Floor Jack – Best Overall

Arcan makes an easy to use, versatile floor jack that tops our list. With excellent range of motion, it’s a great lift for most automobiles. It also features an easy-to-use twist-handle lowering mechanism. It’s sturdy, lightweight, and handles up to 3 tons.

The Arcan jack has a versatile lifting range of between 3¾ inches and 18 inches. This gives it a total range of motion of 15¾ inches. The wide range should allow you to lift most traditional automobiles.

The jack is rated for up to 3 tons. That’s a huge load for a piece of equipment that only weighs 58 pounds. Once it’s loaded, it locks in place to prevent slippage.

The lift handle has two notable characteristics. First of all, it’s side-mounted to allow for easy positioning of the jack. It also comes apart into two pieces to make storage a breeze.

The lift arm is reinforced to increase its strength and durability. In addition, it terminates with a 4½-inch rubber saddle to help protect the chassis of the automobile from damage when lifting. It also lifts with double pistons, which allows it to take the load quickly and efficiently.

There are a couple of warnings with this jack. First of all, it ships with a hook to secure the lifting arm. When this hook is removed, the arm will spring up abruptly. Therefore, caution should be used when releasing it. In addition, it takes a lot of pressure to lift the jack.
