Jack is a very important vehicle maintenance tool. Maintenance workers can use a jack to lift the car, expand the ground clearance of the chassis, and smoothly enter the bottom for chassis maintenance. This is the daily application of jacks in auto repair shops. Today, we will explain the safety details of lifting a car with a jack.

Almost every year, there are news reports about a fatal accident that occurred in a certain place. The cause of the accident was that during the maintenance of the car chassis, the jack supporting the car suddenly tilted, causing serious injury or death to the maintenance personnel. I believe everyone has heard of such news. In fact, there are many ways to avoid such accidents. However, many people have a lucky mentality and do not take any protective measures to save trouble.

After using a jack to support the car, we can place some objects below that are higher than the height when lying flat, such as tires (if the tire thickness is sufficient). This is an effective method of self-protection, even if the jack tilts, there will be objects underneath as support before the car falls to the ground, which will not cause harm to the repairman. So I hope all car maintenance personnel can handle these details well and remember not to take chances.
