The VEVOR QY156H is a low profile hydraulic floor jack with a 1.5-ton (3,300 lb) capacity. Low profile means the jack can slide under vehicles with little ground clearance, and its dual-piston pump is meant to raise the car in fewer strokes. Here is what its specs mean and what to confirm.

What 1.5 tons means

The capacity is the maximum load the jack is designed to lift. It is not the weight of the whole vehicle, because a jack typically lifts one end or one corner at a time. The vehicle's weight, how it is distributed and the lift point all matter, so check your car's weight and the manual before choosing any jack. VEVOR describes it as suited to compact sedans through to large SUVs, but compare the listed capacity with your own vehicle.

Lift range

The minimum saddle height is 3-3/20 inches (80 mm) and the maximum is 14-10/27 inches (365 mm). The low minimum is what lets it fit under lower cars. The maximum determines how far the vehicle can be raised, so compare it with the height you need to reach to place jack stands.

Dual pump design

Two pistons let each stroke move the saddle farther than a single-piston pump. VEVOR says this raises lifting speed noticeably, which saves time during repetitive work. Quick-lift pumps generally cover the first part of the lift fast, then slow slightly as the load takes up.

Steel and aluminium construction

The body is thickened steel, with a 6 mm aluminium plate. VEVOR says the steel resists compression and deformation under load and that the aluminium reduces weight so the jack is easier to move around a garage or workshop. Dimensions and weight were not given in the listing, so check them before ordering if you need to fit it in a car boot or small space.

Saddle and stability

A large, raised rubber pad on the saddle increases contact with the vehicle's lift point and is meant to prevent slipping. A wider base and a rubber pad are typical features aimed at stability, but a floor jack is only for lifting, not for holding.

How it operates

VEVOR gives four steps: turn the oil return valve clockwise, place the saddle under the lift point, pump the handle to raise, then turn the valve counterclockwise to lower. Always read the full manual, including how to lower slowly.

Who it suits

It suits home mechanics and small garages working on cars with low ground clearance, for jobs such as wheel changes, brake work and oil changes.

What to check before you buy

  • Vehicle weight and lift points: use the points shown in the owner's manual.
  • Ground clearance: confirm that 80 mm will fit under your vehicle's lift point.
  • Maximum height: check that 365 mm reaches high enough for your jack stands.
  • Always use jack stands: a floor jack must never be the only support under a vehicle. Work on level, firm ground.
  • Upkeep: check the manual for hydraulic oil, seals and storage.
  • Size and weight: confirm these on the product page before you plan storage.

The short version

  • A low profile 1.5-ton (3,300 lb) hydraulic floor jack.
  • Lift range of 80 to 365 mm (about 3.15 to 14.4 inches).
  • Dual-pump design for quicker lifting.
  • Thickened steel body with 6 mm aluminium plate.
  • Rubber saddle pad; support the vehicle on jack stands before working under it.
