Rank #7 in Best Trolley Jack 2026: 10 Ranked, and the 3-Tonne Label That Doesn't Add Up
DriveUpTools T-2.5HJB 2.5 Ton Low Profile Jack, Green
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The DriveUpTools 2.5 Ton Compact Low Profile Hydraulic Trolley Jack, model T-2.5HJB, is number 7 in our guide to trolley jacks. It is the cheaper of the two DriveUpTools listings in this group at £65.99, it carries a rating of 4.4 out of 5 from 189 ratings, and its Best Sellers Rank reads 2,502 in Automotive and 9 in Car Jacks. It is a green alloy-steel hydraulic jack weighing 11.5 kg, with a 2-year manufacturer warranty and a stated country of origin of China.
The figure that does not hold still on this listing is the lift range. The title promises "3.3 to 13.8 inches". The bullets promise a low profile of "3.35–15 inches" and then repeat "3.35–15 inch" in a second bullet. The specification table gives a minimum height of 3.35 inches and a maximum lifting height of 15 inches. Depending on which line you read, the top of the range is either 13.8 inches or 15 inches — a difference of 1.2 inches, roughly 30 mm. The capacity figure is the consistent one: the bullets say 2.5 Ton (5,500 lbs) and the Load Capacity field says 5500 Lbs. Note also that this listing shows the same 189 ratings, the same 70/16/4/5/5 histogram and the same 2,502 in Automotive rank as the £137.99 DriveUpTools jack in this guide. Everything on this page is taken from the Amazon listing; none of it comes from testing by us.
