DNA Motoring TOOLS-00234 Low Profile Hydraulic Trolley Service/Floor Jack, 2 Ton (4000 lbs) Capacity, Lifting Range 5.1"-13", Black

What It Is

The DNA Motoring TOOLS-00234 is a low-profile hydraulic trolley jack designed for lifting lawn mowers, garden tractors, and small vehicles up to 2 tons (4,000 lbs). Its compact frame and low 5.1-inch minimum height make it ideal for accessing mower decks, blades, and undercarriages without ramps.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, check these specifics:

• Lifting range: 5.1" to 13" – confirm your mower’s ground clearance (e.g., zero-turn or riding mower decks often sit 4–6" off the ground). Won’t work for very low sports cars or low-profile mowers under 5".
• Weight capacity: 2 tons (4,000 lbs) – sufficient for most residential riding mowers (300–800 lbs) and garden tractors, but not for commercial zero-turns over 1,500 lbs.
• Chassis width: Saddle width is ~4.5"; ensure it fits under your mower’s frame or axle without hitting belts or guards.
• OEM vs aftermarket: Universal fit, no mower-specific brackets included. Works with any mower with a solid lift point (frame rail, axle, or reinforced deck edge).

Key Things to Know

• Quality trade-off: At $53, expect basic steel construction with some weld imperfections. It’s functional but not pro-grade; seals may leak after heavy use.
• Assembly required: Comes partially disassembled; you’ll need basic wrenches and about 20 minutes. Bleed the hydraulic system before first use (air in lines causes slow lift).
• Low-profile gotcha: The jack’s front wheels can hang up on uneven ground or tall grass. Use on hard, level surfaces only.
• Safety note: Always use jack stands (not included) for any under-mower work. The jack alone is not stable for long-term support.

Should You Buy It

Buy this if you need an affordable, low-profile jack for occasional homeowner mower maintenance (blade changes, deck cleaning, oil changes) and don’t mind basic build quality. Skip it for daily commercial use, heavy zero-turn mowers over 1,500 lbs, or if you prefer a sealed, leak-proof hydraulic unit.
