Low profile Hydraulic jacks

there are a lot of lightweight small trolley jacks on the market,this would be ideal for your car and caravan for around £25 or £30, thats what i use and they don,t take up much space in your boot,and they,re safer to use than a bottle jack.

Thanks for the info Rab,  I've done some research on the internet but as you say there are a lot out there at a wide range of prices.  Ease of use, safety and weight are the main factors for me. I've discounted bottle jacks as not appropriate. Price is important but it's more important to get the right one.  Any suggestions?

We have one similar to this trolley jack  but only use it to put caravan on axle stands over winter. Easy to use but certainly not light. Perhaps we've been lucky but never had need of one on the road (wished I hadn't said that now!)  - I'd call a man who can! 

What has the motor mover to do with the ability or otherwise of rotating your wheels? 

It could be that Peter wants to move the wheels to fit the Alko wheel lock. If is for any other reason, hopefully he will reply and tell us.

Hi All

Thanks for the useful comments.  In the end I went for a Halfords 3 T trolley jack (£30) on discount.  It works well and didn't disappoint.

Just to clarify my enquiry I needed ease of access past the motor mover to rotate the wheels during storage on my drive.  I found that moving the caravan out and back usually left the wheels in exactly the position they started in!!

It is much easier to run the trolley jack under the axle from the front and operate it. Many motor movers do not allow the jak to pass under and locate under the axle plate, this results in difficulty in operating the jack handle. If this is not clear, try it from both directions.

can not understand al, the comments and suggestions saying trolly jacks why are you wanting to carry a large object like this with you? what is wrong with a bottle jack

Why not fit alko jacking points and use alko jack easy to carry and does the job 

The half scissor Alko jack that came with my caravan is not even as good as next to useless ...... unless you're referring to a different type of Alko jack. I bought a cheap trolley jack from Machine Mart & while it's not the best jack in the world, it works & it will be better than nothing in the event I want to change a tyre
