Hey guys,
Does a trolley jack have a life span, so to speak?
Do they need servicing or parts replaced?
If so, is it after a set period of time or is it after a certain amount of useage?
I'm thinking rubber seals etc.
I have a Clarkes trolley jack (2 or 3 tonne, I think it is).
Bloody great thing and pretty heavy duty.
I noticed that the last time I used it, a small drop of oil fell onto the ground just under it.
I haven't had a chance to investigate, but I'm thinking a seal is perishing maybe?
It's not used at all heavily.
Just to change wheels for MOT & Servicing and swapping wheels before and after winter.
Crucially, is it safe to continue using?
