Inside the shop or out changing a flat, bottle jacks come in handy whenever you need to lift something easily and safely. They’re even used to lift up non-automotive items, so can be used in lots of applications outside the garage. If you're a professional mechanic or a DIYer looking for a reliable way to lift a variety of items, bottle jacks might be the essential tools you need.

Bottle jacks are relatively small but provide a lot of power. Their compact size might make you think they aren’t that useful. Actually, bottle jacks offer remarkable lifting capacity while remaining easy to use, even for beginners. Redline Stands sells a great selection of bottle jacks that are powerful and portable for a quick lift anytime.

Key Features & Benefits

• Heavy-Duty Construction: Quality bottle jacks like Redline Stand jacks and replacement equipment are built with durability as a top priority. Constructed from heavy-gauge steel and precision-engineered components, they withstand years of use. They provide the stability and reliability you need when working underneath a vehicle or supporting heavy loads. 
• High Lifting Capacity: One of the most impressive aspects of bottle jacks is their ability to lift tremendous weights despite their modest size. Standard models easily handle cars and light trucks, while specialized versions can support several tons—enough for commercial trucks, heavy machinery, and even structural components.
• Compact & Portable: A bottle jack’s efficient design allows it to deliver maximum performance while taking up minimal space in your garage or workshop. You’ll get a lot of use from this powerful yet portable jack, the SWAG Bottle Jack Axle Cradle. Work with the axles on smaller cars or larger trucks with this cradle that is compatible with bottle jacks ranging from 2 to 20 tons. It’s a must-have tool for your garage or home use. The bottle jack is not included, and the cradle is made from 5/16" steel.
• Hydraulic Mechanism: A bottle jack works by using a small pump piston to push hydraulic fluid into a larger cylinder, which extends a lifting piston to raise the load. When the load needs to be lowered, a release valve is opened, permitting the fluid to flow back to the reservoir and the piston to retract. You’ll note that Redline Stands offers many hydraulic bottle jack products, including the Redline Transmission Jack Replacement Hydraulic Cylinder for the Redline TJ500 Transmission Jack. Keep a few of these handy so you’re ready for all your lifting tasks!
• Safety Features: Bottle jacks incorporate numerous safety features to protect users. These safety elements aren't just add-ons—they're essential components that provide peace of mind during critical operations. Always remember that even the best safety features should be paired with proper jack stands and careful work practices.
