Cartrend 10430 universal rubber jack pad – flat plate
Here’s a handy bit of kit that makes lifting a car less of a faff and much safer. The Cartrend 10430 is a solid rubber pad that sits on your trolley jack or lift plate, protecting the car’s underbody while giving a firm, non-slip contact point. It’s one of those small things you don’t notice until you need it — then you wonder how you ever managed without it, especially when you’re tackling larger vehicles or battling with grim weather.
What it does for you
The pad’s wedge-shaped V-groove is a proper boon — it nests neatly onto the flanged edges you find on many chassis, so there’s less slippage, fewer scratches and a steadier lift. The waffle-textured top helps prevent movement between pad and car, so you’re not left with that nerve-jangling slide as the jack comes up.
Key use cases
- Routine tyre changes or wheel work — provides a safer contact point and protects the pinch weld or chassis flange.
- Heavier vehicles — SUVs, vans and minibuses benefit from the broader, sturdier contact surface.
- Professional and DIY garages — fits most standard trolley jacks and lift platforms, including Cartrend, Unitec, Michelin and Goodyear jacks.
Technical details and compatibility
Diameter: 105 mm. Height: 30 mm. Load capacity: 1000 kg (1 tonne). Item model number: 10430. Made from solid rubber for long-term use and resistance to compression. Lightweight and simple to fit — no fiddly setup.
Practical advantages
No more marking up the underside of the car, and no more worrying about the jack slipping off a thin flange — a real bonus when it’s wet or greasy in winter. It’s small enough to stash in the boot but tough enough for repeated garage use. If you’re unsure whether it’ll sit perfectly on an oddball pinch weld, check the vehicle’s jacking points first — the V-groove helps a lot, but every car is a tad different.
One last note
This pad is made to work with common jacks and lift platforms and is particularly useful on heavier vehicles, but do check your jack’s manual and the vehicle’s lifting points before use. Little bits of kit like this save time, cut down on scratches and make lifting a fair bit less stressful — no fuss, just reliable support when you need it.
