What are the different types of jacks for Nissan NV200?

So we begin our content with the different sort of jacks that exist. In truth, although generally most Nissan NV200 will be equipped with the same sort of jack, there are still different styles with different uses, here they are:

  • The single-arm screw jack for Nissan NV200 : The first type of jack, the most traditional and cheapest of all, is generally located on entry-level models, or with few options. This sort of jack has only one articulated arm that is positioned under the car to lift it. This sort of jack is light, easy to use, but does not allow you to lift large loads.
  • The double-arm screw jack for Nissan NV200 : It uses precisely similar process as the jack seen earlier, that is, a worm screw that will allow screwing to raise the jack, and unscrewing to lower it, however the use of a double arm will allow to have a more stable jack that can lift a higher payload.
  • The hydraulic jack for Nissan NV200 : This type of jack is not standard equipment on cars, and is usually only supplied with a premium model or bought in car centres. These jacks are heavier, generally less bulky and have the advantage of being much less difficult to utilise and able to lift a larger load. It would cost between 20 and 50 euros to buy them, here is a simple and effective model from Oscaro.
