Equally, how do you know that the OP's need would be satisfied by a 3T jack and that he is not intending to lift something which requires a 10T lifting capability?
On this forum, it is reasonable to assume that a person seeking input is going to lift a car, and more specifically a car that is nominally the weight of a Rover 75. I am not aware of any car that requires a 3T jack. A person would only need a 2.5T jack if wanting to lift a Range Rover V8 off all four wheels.
For cars, a 2T device will be more than enough. If you look at CJ Auto circa £500 hydraulic ramps, they are rathed at either 0.9T or 1.3T!
It is not helpful to give advice which implies that a 3T jack is necessary unless this is qualified with additional information.
Build quality is often more important than claimed size!
