AV Steel Low Profile Floor Jack 3 Ton (6600 lbs), Dual Pistons, Lift Range 3-1/8'' to 19-7/8'' Review (2026)

Overview

This AV Steel floor jack is rated for 3 tons, or 6,600 lbs, and built around a steel frame with a stated lift range of 3-1/8 to 19-7/8 inches. That range combines a genuinely low minimum height, useful for cars and sedans with limited ground clearance, with a maximum reach tall enough to lift SUVs and light trucks, which is a wider practical range than many jacks that specialize in only one end of that spectrum. The maker's own product page confirms the same capacity and lift range listed on the retail listing, along with rotating rear wheels for maneuvering the jack into position under a vehicle.

Lift performance

The jack uses a dual piston pump, which is designed to raise the vehicle in fewer handle strokes than a single piston design, cutting down the physical effort and time needed to get a car up to working height. That is a genuinely useful feature for anyone doing routine maintenance like oil changes or tire rotations regularly, where pump speed adds up over repeated uses. The 360 degree rotatable saddle, confirmed on the manufacturer's own site, helps the jack seat properly against a vehicle's lift point even when the jack is not perfectly squared up underneath the car.

Safety and certification

The manufacturer's product page states the jack meets ANSI and ASME PASE safety standards, the recognized standard for hydraulic jacks sold in the US, along with overload protection against excess weight beyond the rated 6,600 lbs. Those are meaningful safety signals for a tool that will be supporting a vehicle while someone works underneath it, though as with any floor jack, the manufacturer's own safety guidance is clear that a jack should never be the sole support on its own; jack stands rated for the vehicle's weight should always back it up firmly once the car is raised to working height.

Build and warranty

The steel construction gives the jack a sturdy, planted feel and generally a lower price than comparable aluminum jacks, but it also makes the unit noticeably heavier to carry or roll compared to an aluminum racing-style jack aimed at frequent transport. For a jack that stays in one garage rather than traveling to track days or other locations, that weight tradeoff is a reasonable one in exchange for steel's durability and typically lower cost. The manufacturer's own site states a full 12 month warranty against design, materials, and workmanship defects, which is a standard but worthwhile guarantee for a hydraulic tool that sees regular use.

Who it's for

This jack suits a home garage owner who wants a genuinely low-profile 3 ton jack that still reaches tall enough for SUVs and trucks, and who values quick lifting from the dual piston pump over the lighter weight of an aluminum jack. The ANSI and ASME PASE compliance and 12 month warranty are reassuring for anyone new to buying from a less established brand, and the rotating rear wheels make it easy to maneuver into place under a vehicle. Anyone who regularly transports a jack between locations, such as to track days, should weigh the steel build's extra weight against the typically lighter aluminum alternatives.
