Atlas –
Car-Jack
Tyre change on the hard shoulder - In this stressful situation there is no time to deal with a complicated car jack.
A self-explanatory function easy usability and a considerate appearance were the most important factors in the process of the recreation of a car jack according to a common construction principle.
It was also important to optimize the design to certain manufacturing methods so that the car jack is still low priced in fabrication. Almost every piece is produced out of plastics. This results at the same time in a significant reduction of weight.
The car industry still offers conventional spare wheels with carjacks in spite of some tricky inventions like leak-proof-liquids in the wheels , mainly because with almost all punctures leak-proof-liquids fail. Even for the Maybach a jack was developed.
