| Jack Type | | |
| Your choices are... | | |
| Bottle Jack | | Bottle jacks use a hydraulic cylinder for lifting and are often hand-pumped. The workpiece is engaged and lifted by a saddle at the end of the cylinder. |
| Inflatable Jack | | With inflatable jacks, a bag is placed under the workpiece and inflated to achieve lifting. |
| Ratchet Jack | | Ratchet jacks have a manual crank and ratchet-and-pawl design. They are an economical choice for relatively long-stroke jacks. |
| Scissor Jack | | Scissor jacks use linked, folding support members. Lifting occurs when members are drawn together, typically with a screw mechanism. |
| Screw Jack | | Screw jacks use the mechanical advantage of threads to lift the workpiece. Jacking may involve spinning a nut to drive a screw or worm gear drive. Most screw jacks fall into one of two categories: ball screw jacks and machine screw jacks. Ball screw jacks use recirculating ball bearings on a precision pitch screw for fast, efficient lifting. They require relatively little drive effort. Machine screw jacks use screws with less pitch, and usually do not have ball bearings. They are somewhat less efficient and require more effort than ball screw jacks; however, they can better resist back driving and vibration. |
| Service / Floor Jack | | Service jacks or floor jacks are designed to get under loads such as vehicles. They often have a relatively long reach. |
| Toe Jack | | Toe jacks use a lift toe or are shoe-mounted to stay near the floor in the retracted position. They can fit under a workpiece with little ground clearance. |
| Transmission Jack | | Transmission jacks are designed for lifting, removing, and installing transmissions or engines from vehicles. They usually have several saddles or lift points and a wide base for stability. |
