Hydraulic jacks and Ramps

Whether it is a quick oil change before a weekend race, setting up the suspension, or inspecting the brakes, high-quality garage equipment forms the absolute foundation. However, working under a vehicle requires the right combination of safety, comfort, and appropriate technical specifications. The RACES brand offers a comprehensive range of workshop equipment, where it is important to know the differences between individual types of jacks, ramps, and accessories.

Jacks / Lifts

Basic hydraulic jacks - ideal choice for standard passenger cars, SUVs, or commercial vehicles with standard ground clearance. Among their main advantages are an excellent price-to-performance ratio, robust construction, and a long service life with routine maintenance. The integrated quick-lift mechanism significantly streamlines work and reduces the time needed to raise the vehicle. A rotating saddle with special grooving guarantees a stable and firm contact point. Smooth handling around the workshop space and high stability under load are ensured by all-metal wheels.

Steel "RALLY" jacks – ULTRA LOW – This professional hydraulic jack is the ideal solution for workshops, garages, and trackside mechanics who need to combine an extremely low ground clearance with a long chassis reach. With a minimum entry height of just 70 mm, it easily fits under sports cars, lowered race cars, and wide-body vehicles. The extended steel construction allows easy access to deeper lifting points under the chassis, which is crucial especially for larger vehicles and cars with long overhangs. Work speed and efficiency are significantly boosted by an integrated foot pedal designed for quick initial lifting without unnecessary effort. A durable hydraulic system guarantees consistent and reliable performance, while the wide base combined with robust steel wheels ensures maximum stability under load and smooth maneuvering around the workspace.

Steel "RALLY" jacks – HEAVY DUTY – Developed for the most demanding applications in workshops and motorsport or track pit lanes, the high-strength RACES Heavy Duty jack offers a lifting capacity of up to 2.5 tons. The ultra-low profile design (80 mm) ensures hassle-free positioning under lowered race cars and custom projects, while the reinforced steel base delivers uncompromising stability. The technological highlight of this model is its advanced hydraulic system. A dual-piston mechanism allows ultra-fast lifting, and cylinders with specially polished inner walls along with premium seals minimize internal friction and component wear. The result is a significantly extended service life for the entire device. Safety is handled by an automatic overload valve that prevents lifting loads beyond the rated capacity. Smooth positioning is facilitated by steel wheels with dual-swivel rear casters, and a practical two-piece handle simplifies transportation and storage.

Aluminum jacks – Designed for motorsport enthusiasts, track day drivers, and rally teams who demand speed and high mobility, the lightweight RACES aluminum jack features a lifting capacity of 1,500 kg. Thanks to a combination of durable steel and lightweight aluminum, it provides the perfect balance between high strength and easy portability. Its low-profile construction with a minimum height of 90 mm allows seamless access under most vehicles with lowered suspension. The integrated dual-piston mechanism ensures lightning-fast arm lifting with minimal physical effort, which mechanics will appreciate especially in time-critical pit lane environments. The jack is fully adapted for frequent transport—it features a practical side handle and a knurled main handle with a non-slip finish for maximum control during maneuvering. The manufacturer also kept vehicle protection in mind, equipping the handle with a foam bumper to prevent bodywork paint damage in case of accidental contact. Naturally, it includes a built-in safety overload protection system, guaranteeing reliable operation without the risk of exceeding the rated capacity.

Ramps / Drive-on ramps

Low-profile ramps – Lightweight, easily portable plastic ramps are the ideal garage accessory for lowered vehicles where even a low-profile jack cannot be used. A smooth incline and a maximum height of 8 cm protect the car's bumper and front lip from damage. The product is also suitable for loading a vehicle onto a trailer or driving over a garage threshold. Weighing just 3.5 kg, these ramps are engineered for a maximum capacity of 5 tons.

Plastic ramps with a height of 170 mm – Crafted from a highly durable and lightweight plastic material, they guarantee easy handling, high durability, and resistance to workshop chemicals. The ramps feature a generous drive-on width of 33 cm and a total length of 90 cm, allowing for a smooth and safe vehicle ascent. The drive-on surface is equipped with special grooving that significantly increases tire traction and prevents slipping during ascent. The stable platform raises the vehicle to a comfortable height of 17 cm, providing ample space for working under the chassis. A maximum level of safety is ensured by an integrated 5 cm high safety stop, which effectively prevents accidentally overshooting the edge of the ramp. The entire set boasts a total load capacity of up to 2,000 kg, meeting the needs of most passenger cars.

Mechanic creeper – Working under a car on the cold and hard floor of a garage can quickly turn even simple maintenance into an unpleasant experience. Back pain, a strained neck, and constantly searching for wrenches or screws across the entire workshop carpet are familiar to every DIY enthusiast and professional mechanic alike. That is precisely why a 36" contoured mechanic creeper is an essential piece of equipment for every modern garage. It allows you convenient and quick access to the vehicle's chassis without having to laboriously set up drive-on ramps or lift the entire car. The creeper is made of impact-resistant plastic. Thanks to its single-piece molded design, it contains no weak joints, guaranteeing a long service life and high resistance to both mechanical damage and oils. Six independent swivel casters ensure excellent stability, even weight distribution, and smooth movement across the floor in any direction. With a load capacity of up to 150 kg and a height of just 90 mm, you can easily slide under vehicles with lower ground clearance as well.
