The new Blue one wins...
I've got that same scenario, too. (http://mkb-cc.yanksrule.co.uk//Forum/smileys/up.gif)
That said my smaller JCB jack is still rated at a higher load than the low-lift one I had off of Ray.
And it has proven itself to be very handy even though I now have a superior jack to potentially replace it.
In the market for a low lift jack myself (http://mkb-cc.yanksrule.co.uk//Forum/smileys/chiny.gif)... details?
Been using the scissor lift from the Mondeo for the last year (http://mkb-cc.yanksrule.co.uk//Forum/smileys/rolleyes.gif)
Nice! TOOLS! (http://mkb-cc.yanksrule.co.uk//Forum/smileys/mechanic2.gif)
What rating is it? Is it a low-lift one? I can't tell from that angle.. (http://mkb-cc.yanksrule.co.uk//Forum/smileys/chiny.gif)
Its this one:
http://www.lftauto.co.uk/epages/BT3814.sf/en_GB/?ObjectPath=/Shops/BT3814/Products/028from that company too.
I got the 3 ton one because it was only £10 more than the 2.5 ton one.
Its a bit bigger that I thought it would be TBH (http://mkb-cc.yanksrule.co.uk//Forum/smileys/rofls.gif) as I didn't read the bit on ebay where i got it through that said it is 45kg!
nice bit of kit,
my mate has a 3 tonne one ..it a bugger to drag up and down the drive slope...(http://mkb-cc.yanksrule.co.uk//Forum/smileys/shame.gif)

That was a nice side effect I can't deny it (http://mkb-cc.yanksrule.co.uk//Forum/smileys/up.gif)
Ouch. I'd be looking for a lightweight one...
Like this I guess
<Link>They often have one in CostCo as well but at the best part of £200 I'll be keeping an eye out for second hand ones nearer to my birthday (http://mkb-cc.yanksrule.co.uk//Forum/smileys/wink.gif)
I think my one must be around 45kg, too.

The CostCO one has a closed height of 100mm - the heavier ones have a closed height of 68mm.
FYI.

Hmm worth knowing ta, Steve's jack only just fit at the front end and even then I sometimes had to give it a tiny boost up with the scissor jack or do one side at a time (http://mkb-cc.yanksrule.co.uk//Forum/smileys/chiny.gif)

Minimum Height: 86 mm (http://mkb-cc.yanksrule.co.uk//Forum/smileys/chiny.gif) though only 1.5 ton.. Mondeo is around 1600kg Mustang up to 1500kg but you generally only jack up one end or corner at a time... thoughts?
Don't forget that 1 Ton does NOT equal 1 Tonne.
1.5 Ton = 1360kg (http://mkb-cc.yanksrule.co.uk//Forum/smileys/wink.gif)
Not that you're picking up the whole car, of course, but worth bearing in mind.

The CostCo one is only handle operated . . . I must admit I'd personally prefer a "foot" operated option as the handle is a complete bastard if you have anything parked with a metre of you.
This is like the one I had off Ray :
