Hydraulic Bottle Jack

In addition to our air jack, primarily useful for unplanned roadside repairs or recovery, we also invested in a hydraulic bottle jack during our world trip. This type of jack is preferred for its ease of use, making it ideal for quick and straightforward repairs or tire rotations.

A hydraulic bottle jack operates by combining compressed air and hydraulic fluid to lift heavy loads. The mechanism involves a cylinder containing hydraulic fluid, which is compressed by a piston. This compression generates a force capable of lifting a load, allowing for the safe elevation of the vehicle.
