What are the different types of jacks for Mercedes AMG GT?

So we start our content with the different kind of jacks that exist. In fact, although generally most Mercedes AMG GT will be equipped with the same kind of jack, there are still different styles with different uses, here they are:

  • The single-arm screw jack for Mercedes AMG GT : The first type of jack, the most classic and cheapest of all, is generally found on entry-level models, or with few options. This kind of jack has just one articulated arm that is positioned under the motor vehicle to lift it. This kind of jack is light, easy to use, but does not enable you to lift large loads.
  • The double-arm screw jack for Mercedes AMG GT : It uses precisely the same process as the jack seen above, that is, a worm screw that will enable screwing to raise the jack, and unscrewing to lower it, however the use of a double arm will enable to have a more stable jack that can lift a higher payload.
  • The hydraulic jack for Mercedes AMG GT : This sort of jack is not standard equipment on cars, and is usually just supplied with a premium model or bought in motor vehicle centres. These jacks are heavier, generally less bulky and have the advantage of being much less complicated 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.
