Rank #5 in Best Trolley Jack 2026: 10 Ranked, and the 3-Tonne Label That Doesn't Add Up
KATSU Tools 161222 3 Tonne Floor Jack, Blue
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The KATSU Tools hydraulic low profile floor jack is number 5 in our guide to trolley jacks. It is a steel jack on four casters — two large fixed casters and two 360-degree swivel casters — with a twin piston pump, an ergonomic carrying handle and a built-in overload system. The listing shows a 4.4 out of 5 rating from 258 reviews, a 32 kg item weight and a price of £123.99 at the time of writing; the manufacturer part number is 161222.
The title says "3 Ton Max Lift Height 505mm" and the second bullet says "3 Ton (6000lbs)". Those two figures are not the same load: 6,000 lb is about 2.72 tonnes, not three. The specification table does not settle it either — its Load Capacity cell reads "3 toneladas", a Spanish phrase rather than the English used everywhere else on the page. The lifting range is at least consistent across the listing: 75 mm minimum, 505 mm maximum, in both the bullets and the spec table. The same table also lists "Compatible with Vehicle Type" as Trailer, while the bullet above it says the jack is ideal for most cars, trucks and SUVs. Everything on this page comes from the Amazon product listing — we have not tested the jack ourselves.
