Planger® rubber car jack pads – 4 x Power Pad Flat (suitable for all cars)
If you’re after a simple, tough and reliable way to protect the underside of your car while using a jack, these Power Pad Flat rubber jack pads from PLANGER are just the ticket. They sit between your jack and the car’s sill or jack point to prevent metal-on-metal contact — so no more scratched sills or dented jack plates.
Key features
These pads are made to be used, not admired. A few handy points:
- The pack contains four Power Pad Flat rubber jack pads plus a carry case, so you’ve got spares when you need them.
- Made from a shatterproof resist2 rubber compound — the material’s been tested to 3.5 tonne and the product is rated for 3 tonne use.
- Works with trolley jacks, scissor jacks and lifting platforms — a versatile tyre-change companion.
- The pad is designed to deform slightly to cup the jack plate for a secure grip, reducing slippage and marking of metal surfaces.
- Compact and lightweight — pop them in the boot in the included case and you’re good to go.
How to use and what to check
Before you jack the car up, check the size of your jack plate and the car’s lift point so the pad sits correctly. If you’re unsure, the PLANGER Pad FINDR helps match pad to jack. Simply pop the pad on the jack plate, align it with the car’s lift point and lift as normal. No faffing about with awkward adapters — which is a real bonus when it’s cold and greasy outside.
Why choose these pads?
They stop the common issues: scratched sills, bent jack plates and slipping jacks. The rubber has enough give to spread the load and is tough enough to resist cracking or shattering in normal use. Whether it’s a roadside tyre change, routine maintenance or a quick swap in the driveway, they make the job safer and a lot less stressful.
Technical details and practical notes
These pads are compact and light enough for regular use and easy storage. The rubber compound has been lab-tested to 3.5t, so they’re well suited to most passenger cars and light vans when used correctly. If your vehicle is exceptionally heavy or modified, double-check the jack’s rated capacity and get in touch with support if you’re unsure.

Support and tips
If something doesn’t sit right or a pad looks damaged, contact PLANGER support — they’re based in Düsseldorf and generally very helpful. For best results, keep the pads clean and give them a quick check before each use. If you’re dealing with a completely flat tyre or a very uneven jacking point, take extra care and make sure the jack and vehicle are stable before you start.
All in all, these Power Pad Flat jack pads are a small investment that saves a lot of faff and potential expense. They protect the car, keep the jack steady and mean fewer scratched sills — a tidy bit of kit to keep in the boot.
