both low and high capacity cars.

Of all the application types, this equipment package is the easiest to install.

Disadvantages:
Oil contamination in the ground is possible. As a precaution, the jack can be

enclosed in PVC pipe. Areas with frequent seismic activity will have the greatest risk
of oil contamination.
The jack must go down into the ground roughly the same distance as the desired

travel. Drilling a jack hole is expensive and may be nearly impossible in certain
structural or geologic conditions.
