What are the different types of jacks for Volkswagen ID.4?

So we start our content page with the different sort of jacks that exist. Obviously, although generally speaking most Volkswagen ID.4 will be equipped with the same type of jack, there are still different styles with different uses, here they are:

  • The single-arm screw jack for Volkswagen ID.4 : The first type of jack, the most classic and cheapest of all, is generally determined on entry-level models, or with few options. This type of jack has just one articulated arm that is positioned under the car to lift it. This type of jack is light, easy to use, but does not allow you to lift large loads.
  • The double-arm screw jack for Volkswagen ID.4 : It uses exactly the same process as the jack seen earlier, that is, a worm screw that will allow screwing to raise the jack, and unscrewing to lower it, on the other hand the use of a double arm will allow to have a more stable jack that can lift a higher payload.
  • The hydraulic jack for Volkswagen ID.4 : This form of jack is not standard equipment on cars, and is usually just provided with a premium model or bought in car centres. These jacks are heavier, generally less bulky and have the advantage of being much simpler to use 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.
