Güde GRH 2.5/510L Hydraulic Trolley Jack – 2500 kg, 508 mm height, double cylinder
The Güde GRH 2.5/510L hydraulic trolley jack is the industrial professional version of the GRH range, designed for vertical lifting of heavy vehicles up to 2500 kg (commercial vans, heavy SUVs, pickups, sports cars with additional equipment). The 2.5/510L model exceeds the lighter 2/330 and 2/330L versions in three critical areas: increased capacity, 2500 kg, extended maximum height, 508 mm, and double-cylinder system for 50% faster lifting speed.
The designation “2.5/510L” means: 2.5-tonne capacity, 510 mm maximum height, long chassis (L). Unlike the lightweight portable models, the GRH 2.5/510L is semi-stationary equipment for high-volume workshops – 4 wheels, 2 swivel and 2 fixed, ensure controlled movement, but its 29 kg weight makes it a stable positioning tool, not equipment for frequent manual transport.
Mechanics and design:
- 2500 kg capacity – Static lifting capacity up to 2500 kg. Suitable for commercial vans of 2200–2400 kg, heavy SUVs up to 2500 kg, pickups, sports cars with additional load such as passengers, equipment and fuel. Increased safety margin
- 80 mm minimum height – Critical height for low and sports cars. Similar to the 330L model, 85 mm, allowing ultra-low cars to be lifted without obstruction
- 508 mm maximum height – Significantly increased height compared with the 330 and 330L models, both 330 mm. Allows taller vehicles such as large SUVs and vans to be lifted higher for full underbody access and tank replacement
- 428 mm lifting travel – Greatly increased lifting travel compared with 205 mm on the 330 model and 245 mm on the 330L model. Allows full lifting from 80 mm closed height up to 508 mm extended height on any type of vehicle
- 720 mm long chassis – Maximum length for structural stability. Compared with the 330L model, 530 mm, the additional 190 mm distributes the load over an even wider base – lateral stability during pumping on heavy loads is absolute
- Double cylinder – System with 2 synchronised cylinders instead of a single cylinder. Advantage: lifting speed increased by 50% compared with single-cylinder models – faster lifting during intensive cycles
- 4 wheels, 2 swivel + 2 fixed – Semi-professional configuration. 2 swivel wheels for manoeuvrability, 2 fixed wheels for stability during lifting – prevents lateral oscillation on heavy loads
- Handle with foam protection – Protection on the pumping handle reduces wrist stress during repeated intensive cycles
- 29 kg weight – Significantly heavier than the lightweight models, 8.8 kg for the 330 and 10.9 kg for the 330L. It is not a portable tool – it is semi-stationary equipment for high-intensity workshops
- GS + TÜV Süd + Q9 certifications – German professional safety certifications – standard for European industrial equipment
Who chooses it:
- Very high-intensity automotive workshops – More than 200 lifting cycles/month on mixed fleets. The double cylinder reduces lifting times, and the 29 kg weight is not a factor, as the tool is stationary. The 2500 kg capacity covers virtually any vehicle
- Van and commercial pickup service centres – Maintenance on vehicles over 2200 kg, such as Fiat Ducato, Mercedes Sprinter and Ford Transit. The 2.5/510L model is a standard tool for intensive cycles on commercial fleets
- Multi-specialist workshops with heavy vehicle segments – Workshops servicing sports cars, vans and heavy SUVs. The 2500 kg capacity + 508 mm height + double cylinder cover all segments without the need for multiple pieces of equipment
- Bodywork and industrial diagnostics centres – Intensive lifting cycles for frame inspection, structural repairs and diagnostics on different vehicles. The double-cylinder system accelerates cycles and reduces overall operating time
Who chooses it in Italy
Very high-volume automotive workshops – More than 150 lifting cycles/month on mixed fleets. The double cylinder increases lifting speed and reduces waiting times between cycles. The 2500 kg capacity covers common Italian commercial vans such as Fiat Ducato and Renault Master.
Commercial and fleet service centres – Maintenance of company van and pickup fleets, such as couriers, logistics and service vehicles. The 2.5/510L jack is a standard tool for intensive cycles on vehicles over 2000 kg – capacity and speed are critical.
Multi-specialist workshops with diverse customers – Workshops servicing sports cars, saloons, SUVs and vans during the same shift. The 2500 kg capacity + 508 mm height + double cylinder eliminate the need for multiple jacks.

Who the Güde GRH 2.5/510L hydraulic trolley jack is suitable for
| Profile |
Suitable? |
Reason |
| Very high-intensity automotive workshop |
Ideal |
The 2500 kg capacity covers all vehicles. The double cylinder increases speed during intensive cycles, over 200/month. The 29 kg weight is not a factor, as the tool is stationary. Essential investment. |
| Van and commercial pickup service centre |
Ideal |
Maintenance on vehicles over 2200 kg, such as vans and pickups. The 2500 kg capacity and 508 mm height are specific to the commercial vehicle segment. Intensive cycles justify the investment. |
| Multi-specialist workshop with heavy vehicle segments |
Suitable |
If cycles on heavy vehicles, vans/SUVs, represent more than 40% of the workload, investing in the 2.5/510L instead of the 2/330L is justified. Otherwise, the 330L model covers most needs. |
Not suitable for: Workshops working only on standard light cars under 1500 kg – the 2500 kg capacity is oversized, and the 330/330L model is sufficient and lighter; very restricted workshop spaces, as the 720 mm length is a significant footprint; occasional cycles on vans, where the investment is not justified by occasional maintenance.

Frequently asked questions
What is the main difference between the GRH 2/330L and the GRH 2.5/510L?
Three critical differences: (1) capacity: 2000 kg vs 2500 kg, +25%; (2) maximum height: 330 mm vs 508 mm, +53%; (3) double cylinder vs single cylinder, +50% speed. The 330L model is for sports/low cars, while the 2.5/510L model is for heavy vans/SUVs and very high-speed intensive cycles.
Does the double cylinder really increase speed by 50%?
Yes. Two synchronised cylinders distribute the load over larger sections – lifting speed is increased compared with a single cylinder. During intensive cycles, over 200/month, the speed increase reduces total time and operator fatigue.
Does the 29 kg weight make the jack difficult to move?
Yes – the weight is significant. However, the GRH 2.5/510L is not a portable tool like the lightweight models, 330 and 330L. It is semi-stationary equipment for high-volume workshops – it is positioned in the work area and remains there during the shift. The 4 wheels allow slow, controlled movement between stations, not frequent transport.
Can I use the GRH 2.5/510L on low sports cars like the 2/330L?
Yes. The 80 mm minimum height is similar to the 85 mm of the 330L model – it fits under ultra-low cars without obstruction. Advantage: the 508 mm maximum height, compared with 330 mm, allows higher lifting, useful if the car is very low and the engine is offset.
Is the 720 mm length a footprint problem?
Yes – the trolley is 190 mm longer than the 330L model, 530 mm. It requires dedicated workshop space. If the workshop has narrow lanes or limited space, measure the available length before purchasing.
Does the double cylinder require different maintenance from a single cylinder?
No, maintenance is similar. Both require monthly inspection, annual oil replacement and wheel lubrication. The only difference: the two cylinders must remain synchronised – if they lose synchronisation, contact Krollit for the specific replacement cylinder.
What is the oil tank capacity? How much oil is needed for replacement?
Not explicitly declared by the manufacturer. Estimate: 5–10 litres total. Oil replacement is recommended every 12 months with moderate use, under 50 lifts/month, or every 6 months with intensive cycles, over 150/month. Contact Krollit for the exact capacity.
