I just got myself a Hi-Lift Jack (genuine) and have been told that I can lift the back of the car using the Reece Hitch point to get both back wheels off the ground. No problem at the front as the Bull Bar has jack points.
I saw in the adverts for the Hi Lift copies that they are rated at either 3000 kg or 4000 kg but the genuine jack is only rated at 1050 kg according to the slip of paper included with the instructions. At this rating I'm concerned over using it to lift the whole rear as it must be more than that. Interestingly, the instruction manual says it's rated to 2273 kg (tested to 3175 kg) up to 48" and 1209 kg (tested to 1818 kg) up to 60".
I find it hard to believe that the rip-offs would be rated that much higher than the genuine article. I'm guessing they are quoting the test load not rated load?
Anyone know why the instruction manual and included slip of paper are different?
