Electric Trapezoid Jack Amio AMI-02406 3 t 12 V TUV — vehicle lifting accessory

The Electric Trapezoid Jack Amio AMI-02406 is a 12 V electric scissor jack with a 3-ton lifting capacity, intended for lifting passenger cars and light commercial vehicles. It is TUV-certified and designed to be powered from a vehicle battery, providing a compact and motorised alternative to manual jacks. The unit uses a screw-driven lifting mechanism that offers stable support while raising or lowering a vehicle, and it includes the safety features typically found on electric jacks to help reduce the risk of slippage or accidental descent.

Advantages

This electric trapezoid (scissor) jack offers quick and controlled lifting using the vehicle's 12 V supply, eliminating the physical strain of manual jacking. The screw-driven mechanism provides steady, incremental movement for precise positioning under the vehicle. Its compact design supports easy storage in a trunk or service kit, while TUV certification indicates compliance with recognised safety and quality standards for automotive lifting accessories.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Changing tyres on passenger cars and light commercial vehicles
• Basic roadside emergency repairs where vehicle lifting is required
• Routine maintenance tasks that require lifting one corner or side of a vehicle
• Use as a compact, vehicle-powered lifting accessory for drivers and service technicians

When it may not be suitable

This jack is intended for passenger cars and light commercial vehicles and has a maximum rated capacity of 3 tonnes. It is not suitable for lifting heavier commercial vehicles, buses, or multiple-axle loads. For prolonged professional workshop use or lifting the entire vehicle simultaneously, larger capacity, workshop-grade lifting equipment is more appropriate. Users should also ensure a stable, level surface and proper vehicle support with axle stands when performing extended maintenance under the vehicle.

Key specifications

• Lifting capacity: 3 tonnes
• Power supply: 12 V (vehicle battery)
• Type: electric trapezoid / scissor jack with screw-driven mechanism
• Design: compact for trunk storage
• Certification: TUV-certified

How to use

Position the jack under the manufacturer-recommended lifting point on the vehicle, ensuring the ground is level and firm. Connect the jack's 12 V power leads to the vehicle battery or the designated power outlet according to the included instructions. Operate the jack using its control switch or cable to raise the vehicle slowly until the tyre is clear of the ground. Once the vehicle is lifted, secure it with rated axle stands before working beneath the vehicle. Lower the vehicle by reversing the control operation, and disconnect power once the jack is fully lowered and stored.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm the jack's 3-ton capacity is sufficient for your vehicle's curb weight and intended lifting point.
• Ensure your vehicle has a compatible 12 V power supply and accessible battery or power outlet for operation.
• Check for recommended lifting points in your vehicle manual and verify clearance and geometry for a scissor jack.
• Consider whether you need additional safety equipment such as axle stands and wheel chocks for maintenance tasks.

Usage recommendations

Use the Electric Trapezoid Jack Amio AMI-02406 only on firm, level surfaces and always follow the vehicle manufacturer's lifting points. For safety, complement the jack with rated axle stands when performing any work under the vehicle and disconnect the power after each use. Regularly inspect the jack for wear, clean threads and mechanisms, and avoid exceeding the 3-ton capacity.
