Default New product from Hardbar.net

I have been searching for a low profile Aluminum jack for a reasonable price for quite some time. Well, I found one! We are now carry the Zinko aluminum jacks on a trial basis. If they sell well, we will be able to offer group discounts.
They sell for $595 and we have 3 in stock. and they have the following features:
Fast Performance - maximum height reached in 6 pumps.
Low profile - extremely low starting height, (3.5 inches) designed especially for racing cars.
Durable - The highest grade die cast aluminum combined with the patent hydraulic system while meeting all of ZINKO's high standards make this jack as close to trouble free as you can get.
Universal - 3,000 lb capacity, combined with a notched lift cup that has a removable rubber insert for fits on all types of cars.
No stop bracket required. Handle automatically stops at 12 o'clock vertical position. This insures no damage to the car body.
Heavy duty full service real caster wheel for easy movement.
Superior quality, durability & function make this jack the leader, all others will be trying to catch.

Oh wow, I want one of these things! I am sick of the crappy one I have been using. I will start saving my pennies and see if I can pick one up off of you in the next couple months.

Oh yea, all of the other ALUMINUM jacks are $700 and up! But then again, you can get a normal jack at S**'s Club or similar for $70 bucks or so (like we all have done) until you get tired of the POS leaking, weighing 90 lbs, etc and get fed up and decide to get a quality jack

Where is it made? How high does it go? By the way while I got you on the line I nee a seat Evo 2 or something with the mounting brackets. You had given me a price last year I think do you still sell them? It was a bolt in installation right? Lead time is howlong for the seat.
Thanks Gary!

The max lift height is 17.5 inches, and they are imported (various). They have a 2 piece aluminum handle so it will fit in the rear for the A-X guys that pack everything in the back of their car or little trailer.
The Evo2 will fit as well as the Pro2000 and of course, the Evo.
I do make and sell the rails, but not the seats themselves, do a search for Sparco and find your best deal. They are totally bolt in, and normally the lead time is a month or so (I am making a bunch in the next 2 weeks or so). They are $200 in non powdercoated and $235 powdercoated and the lead time is sometimes more for the powdercoated due to minimums at the coater's shop. We now have 3 mills (including a new 3 axis CNC). The passenger side with active handling is $250 due to the "doghouse" needed to clear the yaw rate sensor on the floor.
