Large Jacks in Paddock

[jcorsico]

Who makes the air jacks (or hydraulic jacks?) that many teams use to lift up their cars in the paddock?

I'm referring to jacks that get the car several feet off the ground - not the quick-jacks that are used to change tires.

Thanks!

There are no such jacks. The cars are lifted onto stilts, which generally attach at various chassis mounting points (e.g. the front bulkhead mounting points for the nose cone.

Camozzi make them too. About £5000 each I think (or that might be for a pair). And that's probably the cheap, generic type. Specialised ones are probably 10 times that!
