Especially, who is traveling a lot by car, knows how problematic it can be in a flat tire. Where is the Car Jack? Does the vehicle even have a jack as on-board tools? These questions quickly arise. Because honestly, do you think about the jack beforehand? But these are by no means the only problems related to “lifting the car”. Because once you are on the road away from the paved roads, you will not get very far with the standard jacks. Even on uneven surfaces, lifting a car with a jack can quickly become an unstable proposition. But how can a vehicle be lifted safely, quickly and easily if necessary?
Lifting bag for the car
The solution to the problems that can arise when lifting a vehicle by means of a jack are minimized by a lifting bag for jacking up. Who thinks now, lifting bags, but only use emergency services and fire brigades in rescue missions, is wrong. There are a variety of lifting bags also for private use.
Ingeniously simple and safe - the use of lifting bags
Lifting the car from most lifting bags to the car is convenient and ingenious. With the help of a hose, the lifting bag fills with the exhaust gases of the vehicle and is thereby lifted. Furthermore, there are still lifting bags with air compressor or with a small one hand pump, In addition, lifting bags have a much larger footprint than a jack, which provides additional security and makes the use of off-road surfaces without hesitation possible. Caution is only required for vehicles with a high center of gravity. Another advantage to the conventional jack, the larger surface of the lifting bag, it is also quite possible to raise two wheels and still have a safe state of the vehicle. Not only strong in action, but also ingeniously easy to transport. Because when not inflated such a lifting bag hardly needs space and so easily finds space in any car. It requires significantly less space than a jack and also offers significantly more options and safety when changing the wheel.
The right power pack - raise the lifting bag to the car
Lifting bags for lifting vehicles are available in different weight classes. Means here, the cushions can lift different loads. Mostly the cushions lift up to 3 tons. This is much more than the standard jack. So again a plus more safety and comfort. Therefore, the lifting bags are also suitable for vans and SUVs. Lifting lifting cushions to the vehicle is of course not only suitable for breakdowns. Also the seasonal Tire rotation can be carried out much faster with lifting bags. Because the search for the right starting point for the jack is also omitted. Because the air cushion makes lifting practically possible on the entire side of the vehicle. The cushion adapts flexibly to the underbody of the vehicle and nothing is pressed in or damaged. It should only be ensured that no sharp edges press into the pillow, and that the location on the vehicle is of course also designed for this. PS. This type of jack should not work with Air jacks for racing vehicles be confused.
