October 8th, 2019 11:43 AM #14may pang-kalso ng gulong.
may pangalawang piraso na ginagamit pampataas ng jack, kung kakailanganin... did this only once.. nakakatakot.. but at that time, i had no choice.
but one should always park the vehicle on a level surface, to minimize the car from rolling, once jacked up.Last edited by dr. d; October 8th, 2019 at 11:51 AM.

October 9th, 2019 11:47 AM #19Please take note that crocodile jack / garage floor jack is not ideal to use on roads or on any rough surface.
It has small wheels that needs to move as the vehicle is being lifted. Those small wheels will have difficulty handling concrete roads especially rough ones.
For me, it is better to use the bottle jack.

October 19th, 2019 11:45 AM #20i have used crocodile jacks on these so-called rough surfaces.
i still prefer them over the bottle jacks.
unlike bottle jacks that have a tendency to topple over, even on flat surfaces, crocodiles do not topple over. and the amount of lateral movement they do, considering the surface area of the safety cupped lifting head, is minimal naman as to be relatively "non-dangerous". gumagalaw rin nang kaunti yung kotse, to make up for the slight lateral movement at the jacking points used by crocodiles.Last edited by dr. d; October 19th, 2019 at 12:23 PM.
