Planger® power pad flat – premium rubber jack pad for trolley jack, vehicle lift and axle stand
This compact rubber pad is one of those nifty bits of kit that makes life easier and helps keep your car looking shipshape. It sits between the jack head, lift plate or axle stand and the vehicle’s pinch weld or sill to stop metal-on-metal contact, cut down slipping and avoid scuffs or paint damage. Handy, reliable and fuss-free — none of that faffing about with makeshift solutions.
Why this pad matters
When you’re using a trolley jack or lift, the last thing you want is a slipped jack or a marked sill. The Power PAD flat cushions the contact point, spreads the load a touch and gives the jack head something grippy to bite into. That’s proper useful in winter or if you’re working on a wonky driveway. It couldn’t be simpler to use: pop it on the jack saddle, line it up with the pinch weld, and lift. Job done.
Features and typical uses
- Protects car, SUV and light vehicle pinch welds and sills from damage and scratches when jacking.
- Compatible with most trolley jacks, vehicle lifts and axle stands — ideal for home mechanics and professional garages alike.
- Anti-slip rubber surface reduces movement of the jack head, so there’s less chance of slipping under load.
- Compact size for easy storage in the boot or toolbox — it hardly takes up any room.
- Lightweight (approx. 109 g) yet durable; made by PLANGER-Autoteile to cope with regular use.

Compatibility and common questions
It plays nicely with popular jack brands like Unitec and Michelin and fits most standard trolley jacks. If you’re unsure whether it suits a particular jack head or lift saddle, have a quick look at the saddle shape and size — this pad is compact and made for standard pinch weld contact points.
Some folks ask about load limits: the pad cushions and improves grip, but it doesn’t change the jack’s rated capacity, so always follow the jack or lift manufacturer’s safety instructions.
After something simple to stop marks, reduce slipping and take a bit of the worry out of working under the car? The Power PAD flat does exactly that, no drama. Backed by a one-year warranty, it’s a small, sensible addition to any toolkit — and will save you a fair bit of heartache when lifting vehicles for maintenance.
