Cartrend 144000 universal rubber jack pad for trolley jack and vehicle lift
Quick overview
Handy, no-nonsense and built to take a bit of wear — this compact rubber jack pad stops your jack slipping and helps protect the underside of the car. It’s made from solid rubber with a wedge-shaped V-groove and a waffle-pattern top so it bites into the beading and gives a secure contact point when you lift. Small enough to stash in the boot or toolbox, and tough enough for regular use in a busy garage or for weekend DIY.
Key features and why they matter
- The V-groove moulds to flared edges and beading commonly found on car underbodies, so the pad sits neatly instead of sliding off.
- Waffle-pattern top increases friction — less chance of the car shifting on the jack, which is a proper bonus for safety and peace of mind.
- A scoop on the underside bites into the jack plate, keeping the pad put while you raise or lower the jack — no faffing about with slips.
- Solid rubber construction handles repeated use without crushing or deforming quickly, so it lasts.
- Compact and lightweight, so it doesn’t take up much room in the boot or your tool kit.
Technical details
Diameter: 38/65 mm — designed to fit the common recesses on trolley jacks. Product dimensions: 18.5 × 4 × 12 cm. Item weight: 120 g. Manufacturer part number: 144000. Material: rubber.
Compatibility and typical uses
Fits most standard trolley jacks and lifting platforms, including names like Cartrend, Unitec, Michelin and Goodyear — though there are always the odd few models with non-standard plates. Perfect for routine tyre changes, light workshop lifting, MOT prep and for anyone who wants a bit of extra protection between jack and car.
Practical tips
- If the pad feels loose on a particular jack, double-check the recess diameter — some jacks use unusual plates.
- Keep the pad clean and free of oil for best grip; a quick wipe after use will sort it.
- Not a substitute for axle stands — always use proper supports once the car is lifted.
What some buyers ask
Will this fit my jack? For most standard trolley jacks, yes — the universal 38/65 mm design covers the majority. If your jack plate is an odd shape it might not sit perfectly.
Does it protect paintwork? Yes — the rubber reduces metal-to-metal contact and helps prevent scratches and dents.
Any limitations? It’s designed to improve grip and protect the vehicle, not as a load-bearing safety device — always follow safe lifting practices and use axle stands.
Overall, a neat little upgrade that removes a lot of the niggle when using a trolley jack — quick to fit, easy to store and does the job without any fuss.
