Best Floor Jacks in 2027

The YELLOW JACKET AS84009 leads our ranking. It is a 4 ton (8800 lbs) low profile floor jack, tied for the highest capacity on this page, which gives a big safety margin for cars, light trucks and SUVs.

It lifts from a minimum of 4-5/16 in to a maximum of 19-7/8 in. That top height reaches the lift points of most trucks and SUVs, while the low start slides under many sedans. A dual-piston pump raises the saddle in fewer strokes, and a built-in safety valve provides overload protection to prevent injury and damage to the jack.

It is built from heavy duty steel with a yellow finish that YELLOW JACKET says resists chipping, and a rubber saddle pad protects the car's pinch welds. At 87 lb it is heavy to carry, but it rolls easily across a garage floor. It carries a 1-year warranty. For one jack that handles everything from a small hatchback to a pickup, it is the best choice here.

Second in our ranking, the Big RED AT84007R is a 4 ton low profile floor jack suited to general or heavy-duty use. Its lifting range runs from 3-7/8 in to 20 in, so it reaches under lower cars and still lifts a truck high enough to change a tire.

Big RED says its dual piston pump lifts loads 5 times faster than a single pump. A wide stance adds stability under load, and two large steel casters plus two 360-degree swivel casters make it easy to steer into position. It is listed as meeting ASME safety standards.

At 100.8 lb it is the heaviest jack on this page, which adds stability but makes it a garage-only tool. Overload protection and a rubber saddle pad are included. For owners who want maximum strength and a big brand name, it is a heavy-duty favorite.

The SATA 3-Ton aluminum floor jack ranks third. Its high-strength aluminum body is 30% lighter than traditional steel models according to SATA, which makes it easier to roll out, lift into a trunk or take to the track.

SATA tests every unit to 4.5 tons (9,900 lb), 1.5 times its rated capacity, before it leaves the factory. A dual-piston rapid lift pump cuts handle effort by 40% and lifting time in half, SATA says, and overload protection is included.

Its lifting range of 3-3/4 in to 19-1/8 in fits low-profile sedans as well as SUVs and light trucks. Aluminum also resists corrosion. Weight and warranty are not listed in our data. For drivers who move their jack often, it is a lighter alternative to the steel jacks. Place it only under the vehicle's recommended lift points and support the car on stands before working underneath.

Fourth in our ranking, the Jack Boss AS830011L combines a high-strength aluminum body with a welded steel frame. At 58.5 lb it is the lightest jack in our top five that lists a weight, and it supports up to 3 tons (6,600 lbs).

The lifting range is 3-15/16 in to 18-5/16 in. Its low minimum height slides under cars with limited ground clearance, and a dual-piston pump reduces the number of pumps needed to reach working height. It measures 28.3 in long.

It meets ANSI/ASME PASE safety standards and has a rubber saddle pad. Its 18-5/16 in maximum is lower than the 4 ton jacks, so tall trucks may need a saddle extension. It carries a 1-year warranty. For cars and small SUVs where weight matters, it is a well-balanced choice. Keep the release valve closed while pumping and lower the car slowly onto stands once it reaches working height.

The AV Steel AV-300102F completes our top five. Its minimum height of 3-1/8 in is the lowest in our top five, so it fits under lowered cars and sports cars where many jacks cannot reach, and it still lifts to 19-7/8 in.

It is a 3 ton jack for weights up to 6,600 lbs. A dual pump piston design lifts quickly with fewer handle strokes, and overload protection guards against lifting too much. A 360 degree rotating handle helps position it.

At 31.7 in long, it is the longest jack on this page, which helps it reach lift points under low cars but takes more room to store. It meets ANSI/ASME PASE and carries a 1-year warranty. Weight is not listed. For owners of low cars, it is a practical, certified option. Use it with a pair of jack stands and lower the car gently onto them before working underneath.
