There are two jacks from cost-co

The heavy one and the light alloy one

I have the heavy one its very very good but its very very heavy

It will lift the Unimog so quite powerful as to low hieght i haven't got a clue as i don't do low ground clearance
Landrover 90 = Muddy shed spec
Fiat panda = Couldn't care less spec
Landrover ?? = Muddy shrek spec
Unimog 404S = Very slow silly offroader spec

Assuming it's the same Costco Jack, I agree mine is very heavy, but is a low entry jack, which comfortable gets under my lowered elise :thumbsup

Not too fussed about the weight as it will not be leaving the garage. Be lifting the 340 - the barge.

Machine Mart have a very good service department, that replaced the seals on mine free of charge.

Just took it into the store and collected it later in the week.
