About Jefferson Tools
Jefferson Professional Tools is a UK brand focused on workshop equipment for the automotive and vehicle maintenance sector. The range covers what a professional vehicle workshop needs for engine and drivetrain removal and installation, vehicle lifting and supporting, and general workshop organisation, including engine cranes, engine stands, transmission jacks, trolley jacks, axle stands and tool storage.
Engine removal is one of the most demanding jobs in vehicle maintenance. It calls for equipment that can safely support and manoeuvre a loaded engine through a confined space above a vehicle, then lower it under control to the workshop floor. A good engine crane, with a strong boom, a stable base, precise hydraulic control and enough reach, is a worthwhile investment for any workshop that takes on engine work, because the quality of the equipment feeds directly into both the safety and the efficiency of the job.
Jefferson Tools is pitched at the professional independent workshop and the serious enthusiast, offering capable equipment at prices that suit the budgets of the UK independent workshop sector rather than the premium of manufacturer-specific tooling. The practical design and sturdy construction reflect a focus on day-to-day professional use rather than the occasional hobby task.
Products We Can Supply from Jefferson Tools
Engine hoists and cranes. The folding engine hoists come in 1 tonne and 2 tonne capacities, with an extending boom for reach adjustment, a hydraulic ram for controlled lifting and lowering, and folding legs for storage. Workshops use them for engine removal and installation, gearbox and subframe work, and any lifting task that needs a positioned overhead point. Leveller attachments are available for tilting engines during installation.
Engine stands and support equipment. Rotating engine stands in 500 kg and 750 kg capacities support engines during inspection, rebuild and storage. Transmission jacks support and lower gearboxes and transfer cases as they come out from under the vehicle, and universal engine support bars suspend engines in the engine bay during subframe and drivetrain work without removing the engine.
Hydraulic trolley jacks and axle stands. Professional trolley jacks come in 2 tonne, 3 tonne and 5 tonne capacities in standard and low-profile forms, with axle stands in matched capacities for safely supporting vehicles while work goes on underneath. The hydraulic jacks use quality seals and rams that lift consistently, without the drift that poorly made jacks show under sustained load.
Workshop tool storage and cabinets. The Jefferson tool chest and roller cabinet ranges are built in steel for organising and storing hand tools in professional workshops, alongside workbenches and workshop stools for stationary working positions. Good tool storage matters in any workshop where productivity depends on tools being organised, accessible and protected from damage.
Industries
Jefferson Tools equipment is used in independent automotive workshops, commercial vehicle maintenance depots, vehicle restoration and engineering workshops, agricultural and plant machinery maintenance, motorsport preparation, and any professional workshop that undertakes engine, drivetrain or suspension work requiring workshop lifting and support equipment.

Good to Know
Always use axle stands when working under a vehicle. A trolley jack is a lifting tool, not a support. Hydraulic seals can fail without warning, and a vehicle held up only on a trolley jack can drop without notice. Lower the vehicle onto rated axle stands in good condition before working underneath, no matter how briefly you expect to be under there.
