If you're searching for a hydraulic car jack that delivers exceptional lifting power, safety, and durability, look no further than Syco Machinery. With a rich history dating back to 1966, Syco Machinery has built a reputation as a leader in automotive workshop equipment in South Africa. We are proud to supply high-performance hydraulic jacks and lifting systems from global manufacturers such as PEAK and GS/BOXER—tools trusted by professionals for both light-duty and heavy-duty vehicle lifting.
Our mission is to deliver reliable, advanced, and durable equipment to automotive workshops, tyre shops, panel beaters, service centers, and testing stations throughout South Africa.
A hydraulic car jack is a mechanical device that uses hydraulic pressure to lift heavy vehicles off the ground, allowing technicians to perform wheel replacements, undercarriage inspections, and repair work with ease and safety. Unlike manual jacks, hydraulic systems require minimal physical effort and offer significantly greater lifting capacity and stability.
Hydraulic jacks come in various forms, including floor jacks, bottle jacks, trolley jacks, and low-profile jacks—each designed for specific applications depending on the type of vehicle and workshop setup.
At Syco Machinery, we understand that vehicle lifting is one of the most critical functions in any automotive workshop. That's why we offer only high-quality hydraulic jacks and lifts that meet strict safety and performance standards. Our range is designed for both small-scale operations and high-volume commercial workshops.
High Lifting Capacity: Suitable for cars, SUVs, bakkies, and light commercial vehicles.
Heavy-Duty Construction: Built with industrial-grade materials for long-term reliability.
Precision Operation: Easy-to-control lifting and lowering mechanisms ensure operator safety.
Low Maintenance: Engineered for durability and smooth hydraulic action over time.
Compact & Portable: Ideal for workshops with limited space or for mobile mechanics.
Whether you're performing tyre services or general repairs, our hydraulic jacks are up to the task.
