What are the different types of jacks for Skoda Enyaq?

So we start our content with the different sort of jacks that exist. Indeed, although in general most Skoda Enyaq 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 Skoda Enyaq : 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 placed under the motor vehicle to lift it. This kind of jack is light, easy to use, but does not allow you to lift large loads.
  • The double-arm screw jack for Skoda Enyaq : It uses exactly similar principle 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 Skoda Enyaq : This sort of jack is not standard equipment on vehicles, and is usually just provided with a premium model or bought in motor vehicle centres. These jacks are heavier, generally less bulky and have the advantage of being much easier to employ and able to lift a larger load. It would cost between 20 and 50 euros to buy them, here is a simple and efficient model from Oscaro.
