Fixed Jack to all wheels of car

Fixing jack to all wheels seems to be nice but it will cost you more.
Operating the jack at rest condition would require power which can be from battery but i don't know whether battery power would be enough to operate jack.Haven't had chance to see electrical jack .
I will leave it to fellow CEans to put their verdict.

Electric jack already available in market can operate with 12 volts battery. We need one jack operation at one time. Only you have to fix it with your car.

Seems like a good idea to me. But, is having it fixed to all wheels necessary?
The proper places to jack up a car are usually covered in the owners manual and can be different for each vehicle.

yes, because if we are operating jack with 12volts only then size of jack should be small and it will give less output it cant lift whole car. so there should have small jacks near each tyre so it can lift the one side of car which have to...

hydraulic jacks are cheaper and can lift from 3 to 5 ton with price range of 650Rs to 1000Rs but electric jacks cost high eg.electric jack operating on 12v capable of lifting2 ton cost 3500Rs.

how will you operate hydraulic jacks by pressing button?

yes, but cant use only one jack to lift whole car. 2 or 4 jacks should use for easy use and safety purpose.

SarathKumar Chandrasekaranhow will you operate hydraulic jacks by pressing button?

brother have you ever seen a machine which fully operated by hydraulic system?
i hope you have seen dumper (truck with lifting system). operator of the dumper just pull a small lever and dump everything on the ground what ever it carrying

#-Link-Snipped-# I second all your views.
While the system might seem novel but a real world implication is highly unlikely. Placing jacks at all the jacking points in a car adds weights and not to mention it might be dangerous. For example these one point of these jacks will have to be wielded to a jacking point and the other end shall reach the ground on the press of button an and begin pushing up the car. In a worst case scenario if the wielding point gives away the jack will be headed straight to the wheel and catastrophe shall ensue.

Ankita KatdareSeems like a good idea to me.[/USER]

A bit of exercise is good for a person.
Adding considerable weight to a car when all are trying to reduce the weight and increase fuel economy seems to be a step backward.
More fuel will be used to operate the jacks.
Thre can be a major hazard if one or more jacks get activated accidentally while the car is in motion. Appropriate interlocks must be provided to ensure that the user cannot deploy the jacks if the engine is running.

All these will add a lot to the cost for a convenience that is rarely used.

I have seen these jacks on large haulage trucks in Europe. The use is justified in that application as the jacks are fitted on heavy tonnage trucks and have to lift heavily loaded trucks. They are also used during loading and unloading (semi trailers) to prevent accidental upending.

In my opinion superfluous in a passenger car.

its ok. but can be use good type of wielding and use nut bolt also. if everything will gives away then we cant do anything in the world.(some times i used jack in my car i had never wield it.)

its ok sir, it can be battery operated.with 12 volts battery it will take only 1 mint to lift the required side of the car.(if we think jacks get activated accidentally while the car is in motion then also think that back door of the car also can be open itself and all the items will on the road) some special operation system can be use like you have to open small lid and then press the button .

#-Link-Snipped-# : The post says fixing a jack near to the wheels and not to the wheels. A slight modification in vehicle chassis will allow such a modification. You just need to add a bracket to support the jack and jack can be fixed. A jack near all wheels will be needed so as to lift the required wheel. A pump directly powered by engine can also be used to actuate the jacks. A control system is required to engage the pump to the crankshaft when required.

The only disadvantage I see is that it may hamper the ground clearance of the car and add weight. Articulated trucks with big trailers use such jacks but not lift wheels but whole trailer. The picture below will not give an exact idea to how it will look in a car but will give a rough overview about what is intended.

yes but we use normal jacks in the car they have enough length when fully open and less length when fully close. so if it will attach near the tyre can have sufficient ground clears.( it will not be upto the half length of wheel base)

Gurwinder Singhits ok. but can be use good type of wielding and use nut bolt also. if everything will gives away then we cant do anything in the world.(some times i used jack in my car i had never wield it.)

I was not talking about regular jacks I was talking about an onboard system of jacks where the manufacturer fits jacks onto all jacking points.

yeah i am also talking about the same. i mean to say if normal jacks can do work without any wielding. then why not a wielded?
but condition is you have to place it on smooth surface

u can better use this concept in trucks . it will be more useful for trucks.

Work on wheels that are puncture proof is ongoing.

This jack is for many uses . Even we can use this type of jack when we have breakdown and also while cleaning.
