I've just picked one of these up from the Liverpool Costco, they're not listed on the Costco website but they definitely have them in store at £108, as stated by quattrogmbh.

Most of the reviews I've read on aluminium trolley jacks have been on the the Clarke CTJ1250A as sold by Machine Mart, which is reportedly small, light & fairly flimsy, and they had all but put me off buying one, but this Arcan jack is just the opposite. For a start it is beautifully made, but it is also a lot bigger & heavier than I expected. Provided you can buy the Arcan at Costco it works out at the same price as the Clarke, but comparing specs they're like chalk & cheese ie:

Clarke CTJ1250A

Lift Capacity:........1.25 Tonnes
Dimensions (LW):...533x280
Weight:...............10.3kg
Low/High height:...79mm / 376mm


Arcan CEALJ2T

Lift Capacity:........1.8 Tonnes
Dimensions (LW):...673x330
Weight:...............21.5kg
Low/High height:...89mm / 498mm

I would definitely say this Arcan is one heluva trolley jack & one which I'd highly recommend
