Hi.
I am considering buying this jack: https://ukshop.AL-KO-tech.com/caravan/steady-legs/side-lift-jack-kit-1000kg-1389235?returnurl=%2fcaravan%2fsteady-legs%2f
I have a caravan with an al ko chassis, which has the two holes required to fit this jack.
I have asked al ko, UK support the following.
If I have a flat tyre on my caravan, will this jack still engage with the lifting point on the chassis and lift the caravan to enable the spare wheel to be fitted?
The reason for asking this is that when there is a flat tyre, the chassis will be at an angle to the vertical and the engagement point nwill be lower than normal.
Al Ko will only state that "the jack is designed to be used for changing a wheel". They will not state that the jack is designed to lift an al ko chassis where a wheel has a flat tyre.
Has anyone used this jack to jack up an al ko chassis, where there is a wheel with a flat tyre?
I thought al ko would have known the answer to this qustion.
I have now asked the al ko, German website the same question. Hopefully the manufacturesr will know the capabilities of their jack.
Thanks for any help.
