Rank #1 in Best Trolley Jack 2026: 10 Ranked, and the 3-Tonne Label That Doesn't Add Up
Sakura SS5191 2 Tonne Hydraulic Jack, 135-330 mm
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Sakura 2 Tonne Hydraulic Trolley Jack SS5191 takes the top spot in this guide. At £37.85 it is the cheapest jack here, and it has the largest review base of the group: 4.5 out of 5 from 2,073 ratings, with 70 per cent of those ratings at five stars and three at one star. The listing also carries a Best Sellers Rank of 1,208 in Automotive and 2 in Automotive Floor Jacks.
The number that decides whether it fits your car is not the 2 tonnes in the title — it is the lifting range. Minimum height is 135 mm and maximum lifting height is 330 mm, a shorter reach than the 510 mm of the most expensive jack in this guide. The 2-tonne figure is at least consistent across the page: the title, the first bullet and the Load Capacity field all say 2 tonnes. The physical description sitting beside it is less tidy, because the same page gives Item Weight as 4 kg for a product it describes as a heavy-duty steel frame. Everything on this page is taken from the Amazon listing for the SS5191; we have not tested this jack ourselves.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“I bought it in 2021 (October) and have used it quite often to lift vans like Renault Trafic, Ford Transit, Vauxhall Vivaro and the like to access fuel filters. Last month the auxiliary arm fell off and just yesterday (July 2026) the pump seal burst. I have to admit that for a trolley jack under £50 it is amazingly durable and it paid off.I am going to order another one today. I can definitely recommend it!”
Verified purchase“Worked exactly as expected, I jacked my trailer up to change the wheels and both lifting and lowering was easy. My only feedback is you need a decent chunk of vertical space to pump the handle, small pumps do nothing. It all folds down very small when not in use and has a carry handle when you need to use it”
