Abstract

An improved lift cap for a jack which comprises a two-piece lift cap that fit together with tab and slot arrangements and which allow the overall mass of the jack to be substantially reduced by allowing the width of the base and channels to be reduced. The improved lift cap has a raised portion which serves as a stop to align the jack and which also provides additional support to lift a vehicle which is being lifted by the jack.
