[Shop-talk] air/hydraulic floor jack

[Jim Franklin]

This got me thinking, that with the current battery and motor tech, there should be electric assist ones. Pneumatics seem to be fading away. I did find a bunch of crap, mostly for roadside emergencies that wouldn't fit under sports cars. Sadly nothing approaching the version in my head.

But you asked for clever:

Contemplating a replacement, I am not really seeing anything like this available now.  Have you guys found anything similar?  It is a pretty traditional hydraulic floor jack, except it also has a compressed air connection.  This operates a pump that moves the hydraulic fluid instead of pumping the handle.  The Norco is 2.25 Ton, which is plenty for me.  I need to lift everything from my Miata to a large SUV.  Besides saving my back, I sometimes find the jack in a position where I can't raise the jack handle enough before it hits the bumper or other part of the car.  Is there anything clever available these days?  If you have a fancy lift, I am jealous, but I don't have the room or ceiling height for one.  Thanks.
