I tend to use two jacks on the jack points and then place a triangle thingy wotsit under the towing eye. In case the jack deflates

ok well I slightly contravene that with two jacks either side and the axel stand in the centre where your pic shows a jack!

It is only there in case of one or both of the jacks deflating!

None of this central point lifting is my cuppatee. The contact points aren't designed for it in spite of what they say.



I'm a freak for safety, so I hope those casters are stronger than they look!

For trolley jacking under the sills, I made an adapter plate to fit the locking pip in the pads.
