Hydraulic bottle jack pad adapter – polyethylene 29 mm recess for 5–6 tonne jacks
This little jack pad is one of those unglamorous bits of kit you don’t realise you need until you’ve saved yourself a right faff — and a hefty repair bill. Designed to sit over the saddle of most 5–6 tonne bottle jacks, the AUTOXBERT pad gives a flat, grippy contact point that protects the vehicle and keeps the lift steady. Simple, effective and built to last.
Why you’ll want one
Plonking a bottle jack straight onto chassis rails or pinch welds can pinch, bend or even crack the metal — and that’s never cheap to sort. This pad stops metal-on-metal contact, spreads the load a touch and adds grip so the car is far less likely to slip. No more faffing about with bits of wood or fretting over scuffed rails; it’s straightforward protection that does the job.
Key features and benefits
- Compatibility – fits bottle jack saddles with a 29 mm recess and is suitable for most 5–6 tonne bottle jacks, so it works across cars, vans and light commercials.
- Durable material – moulded from robust polyethylene to cope with workshop use and repeated lifts.
- Improved stability – gives a flat, grippy surface to reduce slipping or tipping on uneven ground (always use on a level surface).
- Vehicle protection – prevents pinch welds and chassis rails from being bent or crushed by the jack saddle.
- Quick to use – simply pop it over the jack head and lift; it stays put while you work.
Typical use cases
- Quick tyre changes at the roadside or on the drive — especially useful if the jack that came with the car isn’t ideal.
- Garage and workshop use — a sensible bit of kit for mechanics who regularly work with bottle jacks.
- Restoration and DIY projects — handy for protecting old or fragile pinch welds when moving a body on a jack.
Worried about fit? The pad has a 29 mm recess on the underside to locate over the jack saddle; if your jack’s saddle is a very different size, it’s worth checking first. It’s feather-light at about 70 g and compact enough to keep in the boot without it getting in the way. The pack contains one jack pad from AUTOXBERT, model reference 108P2415-20RD.
