Güde GRH 3/470 Hydraulic Trolley Jack – 3000 kg, 130–465 mm height, compact 28 kg frame
The GRH 3/470 model is the compact and lightweight version of the new GRH 3 series. With a 3000 kg capacity while weighing only 28 kg, the GRH 3/470 is the most manageable heavy-load trolley jack in the Güde range. The synchronised double hydraulic cylinder ensures balanced load distribution, while the reduced dimensions, with a 550 × 340 mm frame, make it ideal for workshops with limited space.
The 130 mm minimum height allows access under very lowered vehicles and cars with sports suspension. The 465 mm maximum height is sufficient for standard maintenance operations on passenger cars. The compact structure does not compromise stability: four wheels, two 360° swivel wheels and two fixed wheels, ensure agile mobility and precise positioning.
Distinctive features:
- 3000 kg capacity, only 28 kg weight – Superior capacity-to-weight ratio compared with competing models. Easily transportable by hand between workstations
- 130 mm minimum height – Easier access even under lowered vehicles, sports cars and classic cars with modified suspension
- 465 mm maximum height – Moderate travel, 335 mm, optimised for workshops that do not require very high access
- Compact 550 × 340 mm frame – Reduced footprint, easy to store in small workshops or spaces with limited room
- Synchronised double cylinder – Absolute stability during lifting. No tilting or lateral drift, with certified operational safety
- Lightweight 28 kg design – Superior handling compared with the GRH 3/500 Q, 36.8 kg. Single operators can transport it without mechanical aids
- 360° swivel wheels – Agile mobility and quick positioning, ideal for workshops with dynamic workstation layouts
- GS + CE certifications – Guaranteed compliance with European safety standards, TÜV and Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC
Who chooses it in Italy
Small and craft workshops with limited space – Maintenance of standard vehicles, including tyre changes, chassis maintenance and underbody access, without requiring bulky jacks. The lightweight design allows practical space management.
Single operators and freelance mechanics – Manual jack easily transportable from one workshop to another. Ideal for mobile mechanics working at multiple sites. The low weight, 28 kg, compared with its 3000 kg capacity is a competitive advantage.
Maintenance centres with mixed fleets – Maintenance of sports cars, lowered vehicles and classic cars with modified suspension. The 130 mm minimum height allows easier access where standard jacks cannot reach.

Who the GRH 3/470 is suitable for
| Profile |
Suitable? |
Reason |
| Small workshop / single craft mechanic, 1–3 operators |
Ideal |
Lightweight 28 kg design, manageable by one person. Compact frame fits into tight spaces. 3000 kg capacity covers professional loads |
| Mobile operator / freelance mechanic |
Ideal |
Easily transportable between different locations. Low weight compared with capacity is a key strength. Superior handling compared with standard models |
| Continuous production / industrial workshop |
Suitable |
3000 kg capacity is sufficient, but the 465 mm maximum height is moderate. The double cylinder does not offer increased speed compared with GRH 3/500 Q models |
Not suitable for: Industrial workshops with continuous cycles, 150+ operations/month – prefer the GRH 3/500 Q with 500 mm maximum height; very low cars requiring minimum height <100 mm – consider the GRH 2/330L; occasional hobby scenarios.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between the GRH 3/470 and the GRH 3/500 Q?
Both have a 3000 kg capacity, but the GRH 3/470 is the compact and lightweight version, 28 kg, 550 × 340 mm frame, 465 mm maximum height; the GRH 3/500 Q is the standard version, 36.8 kg, 690 × 350 mm frame, 500 mm maximum height. Choose the GRH 3/470 if space is limited or if you frequently transport the jack; choose the GRH 3/500 Q if you require 500 mm maximum height and continuous cycles.
What is the exact capacity of the GRH 3/470?
3000 kg, with the load positioned in the centre of the platform, plate diameter 110 mm. Do not exceed the maximum load; operator safety depends on respecting this limit. Synchronised cylinders ensure balanced load distribution.
What is the minimum lifting height?
130 mm minimum height, the lowest in the entire Güde trolley jack line. It allows access under sports cars, hot rods, lowered classic cars and vehicles with modified suspension. It is the recommended model for maintenance of low-profile cars.
What is the maximum lifting height?
465 mm maximum height, with total travel of 335 mm. This height is sufficient for most standard maintenance operations on passenger cars. Not suitable for very “high” maintenance work – for this, prefer the GRH 3/500 Q, with 500 mm maximum height.
How much does the GRH 3/470 weigh?
28 kg net weight, the lightest in the GRH 3 series. The low weight allows manual transport between different workstations without mechanical aids. Ideal for single operators or freelance mechanics who transport the jack between different locations.
What are the complete dimensions and footprint?
Base frame: 550 mm length × 340 mm width × 160 mm platform height. This is the most compact footprint in the GRH 3 series. Total length with pump handle retracted is approximately 615 mm. Ideal for small workshops or spaces with limited room.
What certifications does the GRH 3/470 have?
The model has the CE mark according to Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC and GS certification, certified safety, issued by TÜV. Both certifications guarantee compliance with European safety standards for professional lifting equipment.
What minimum height can I access under the vehicle?
130 mm is the absolute minimum height of the platform from the ground. For very lowered vehicles, sports setups and modified cars, this is the recommended height. The GRH 3/470 is the most suitable Güde model for access under low-profile cars in the 3000 kg category.
How do you maintain the GRH 3/470?
Minimal maintenance. Monthly inspection: check oil pressure, cylinder integrity and system operation. Oil replacement is recommended every 12 months with moderate use, under 50 cycles/month. Lubricate swivel wheels every 6 months with spray, such as WD-40. Annual safety valve check.
