Suggestion
It's a great piece of kit, and was the one recommended by Pelican parts for lifting a 996 from the rear lower wishbone mounts/crossmember.
Test height – impressive considering the distance it had

Despite this, it required 17 pumps to reach our 200mm test height – impressive considering the distance it had to travel.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Hi guys
Have been looking for a low level trolley jack (hope that's the right term ) that will get under a 996 to jack from the lower arm front and back.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Steve
I have one that looks like this
https://www.machinemart.co.uk/p/clarke-ctj1250ab-1-25-tonne-aluminium-racing-j/
Mine is red and a different badge. It'll get under the jacking points with plenty of room to spare.
...I have an old low rise snap on trolley jack which is great accept it literally weighs a bloody ton! Must be 40kgs!!
I have a slightly less heavy Halfords which I use for quick and dirty jobs...
I have had a few over the years and there is only one I recommend. The aluminium low entry one from Costco.

Used to be all silver but looks like it is now a racy red colour.
SGS engineering do some quality bits of kit, I have this one which is very well made.

Clarke do some cheaper ones too, worth a trip to Machine Mart if it's local.
This one won Auto Express's test in October:
Clarke Strong Arm 2.25 Tonne Low Profile Trolley Jack CTJ2250LP
Price: £48
Rating: ★★★★★
Another win for this well thought-out jack which comes complete with a pair of double-ended sockets in common wheel nut sizes and a handle that doubles as a wrench. Sports car drivers or those with lowered suspension will love this jack because it's a low-entry design needing just 80mm or so to get under the car. Despite this, it required 17 pumps to reach our 200mm test height – impressive considering the distance it had to travel. The saddle wasn't the biggest, but it did feature a protective rubber insert. A winning combination.
My recommendation too, I have the aluminium race version , low access ....
and recommend "Jackpoint jackstands" too........
great bit of kit , no garage should be without one ...!
(just spent an hour looking through their website for toys I need / don't need but want !)
Low rise ramps can give you the clearance if you have a regular trolley jack or getting a jack pad in as well if its super low, a bit nicer than blocks of wood.

+1 for the WDK13HLQ. It's a great piece of kit, and was the one recommended by Pelican parts for lifting a 996 from the rear lower wishbone mounts/crossmember. Low enough to lift my 996T, which was pretty low at the jacking points once you include a puck.
