Rolling Jacks

Rolling jacks — also called bridge jacks or sliding jacks — sit on top of your four-post lift runways and raise the wheels free of the platform so you can service brakes, suspension, and tires. For any shop or garage running a four-post lift, a rolling jack turns a storage or drive-on lift into a full-service setup. This collection covers bridge jacks built to roll along the runways and lift at the frame or axle.

How Rolling Jacks Work

A rolling jack bridges the gap between your four-post runways and slides to position under the vehicle. Once set, it lifts the chassis so the wheels drop free of the platform, giving you the wheels-off access a drive-on lift can't provide on its own. Most run on air-over-hydraulic power and roll by hand along the length of the lift.

What to Look For in a Rolling Jack

• Capacity: Match the jack rating to the vehicles you service, with margin to spare.
• Runway compatibility: Confirm the jack fits the width and rail style of your four-post lift.
• Lift height: Enough vertical travel to clear the tires for wheel and brake work.
• Adapter pads: Rubber blocks and stackable pads to reach frame and pinch-weld points safely.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will a rolling jack fit any four-post lift?

Not automatically. Rolling jacks are sized to a range of runway widths, so measure the inside spacing of your lift and confirm compatibility before ordering.

What powers a rolling jack?

Most are air-over-hydraulic, meaning they use shop air to drive a hydraulic ram. You'll need an air supply nearby to operate them.

Do I need one or two rolling jacks?

One lifts either the front or rear. Many shops run two so they can raise both ends and get all four wheels off the runways at once.
