Güde GRH 2/330L Hydraulic Trolley Jack – 2000 kg, 330 mm height, robust long chassis
The Güde GRH 2/330L hydraulic trolley jack is the professional extended version of the GRH 2/330 model, designed for vertical lifting of cars up to 2000 kg with low or modified geometry (sports cars, lowered cars, hot rods, tuning vehicles). The designation “L” stands for “Lang”, meaning long in German – the chassis is extended from 460 mm to 530 mm, increasing structural stability during vertical lifting of heavy loads.
The critical difference compared with the standard model is the minimum height of only 85 mm, compared with 135 mm on the 330 model. As a result, the jack can be positioned under sports and lowered cars, which have a ride height of less than 100 mm from the ground, without the need for additional supports. The increased lifting travel, 245 mm instead of 205 mm, also allows full lifting up to 330 mm for complete underbody access.
Mechanics and design:
- 2000 kg capacity – Static lifting capacity up to 2000 kg. Suitable for small to medium-sized cars, heavy saloons, compact SUVs and light vans up to 2000 kg dry weight, with a safety margin
- 85 mm minimum height – Critical height for low cars. Sports cars such as Porsche, Ferrari or Lamborghini-type vehicles often have ride heights of 80–100 mm – the 330L jack fits comfortably underneath without obstruction. Main advantage over the 330 model, which has a 135 mm minimum height
- 330 mm maximum height – Same as the standard model. Lifts the car for full access to the underbody, oil changes and suspension inspection
- 245 mm lifting travel – Increased by 40 mm compared with the 330 model. Allows full lifting even on very low cars – from 85 mm closed height up to 330 mm extended height
- 530 mm long chassis – Length increased from the standard 460 mm. The extended chassis distributes the load over a larger base, increasing lateral stability during pumping with heavy loads
- 60 mm platform – Diameter increased from the standard 55 mm. More even load distribution on the vehicle structure, reducing stress concentration on a single point
- Double-stage system (Doppelhub) – Same as the 330 model. The first stage lifts quickly up to approximately 200 mm, then switches to the slow stage for the final 100–130 mm up to 330 mm
- Long hydraulic handle – Extended handle reduces pumping effort on the final piston strokes. Removable in 2 parts for compact storage
- 360° swivel wheels – Agile mobility between workshop stations. No manual carrying effort required
- 10.9 kg weight – Slightly heavier than the 330 model, 8.8 kg, due to reinforced construction. Still portable and easy for a single mechanic to transport
- Integrated safety valve – Prevents accidental overload. If the operator loads more than 2000 kg, the valve blocks pumping
- GS certification – German Geprüfte Sicherheit, certified safety, for professional use
Who chooses it:
- Specialised sports and luxury car workshops – Maintenance of sports cars, supercars and heavy classic cars. The 85 mm minimum height is essential for lifting low cars without damage
- Tuning and hot rod centres – Work on modified cars with lowered suspension. The 330L jack eliminates clearance issues – it fits under ultra-low cars
- High-intensity multi-brand workshops – Intensive work cycles on mixed fleets, including sports cars, saloons and SUVs. The long chassis offers increased stability during intensive cycles over 150 lifts/month
- Professional bodywork centres – Frame diagnostics and structural repairs on low cars. Easier access to the underbody on very low setups is critical for inspection quality
Who chooses it in Italy
Specialised sports and luxury car workshops – Maintenance of Porsche, Ferrari, Lamborghini and Maserati vehicles with very low ride height. The 85 mm minimum height is essential – the standard 330 model does not fit under common Italian sports cars with 80–90 mm ride height.
Tuning and hot rod centres – Work on modified cars with lowered suspension. The 330L jack is an essential tool – it eliminates the complexity of positioning under ultra-low cars and improves operator safety.
High-volume automotive workshops – Intensive work cycles, over 100 lifts/month, on mixed fleets. The 530 mm long chassis offers superior stability during repeated pumping on heavy loads, reducing lateral oscillation.

Who the Güde GRH 2/330L hydraulic trolley jack is suitable for
| Profile |
Suitable? |
Reason |
| Specialised sports and luxury car workshop |
Ideal |
The 85 mm minimum height is essential for sports cars and low vehicles. The 530 mm long chassis offers stability on heavy loads. The 330L jack is a standard tool for specialised workshops. |
| Tuning and hot rod centre |
Ideal |
Cars with ultra-low ride height under 100 mm require a very low jack. The 330L model is the only practical option – it eliminates the need for improvised supports. |
| High-volume automotive workshop |
Suitable |
Intensive cycles, over 150 lifts/month, benefit from the stability of the long chassis. If operations on low cars are frequent, investing in the 330L instead of the standard 330 is justified. |
Not suitable for: Workshops working only on standard cars, such as saloons and SUVs with normal ride height – the standard 330 model is sufficient and lighter; lifting cars >2000 kg, which would exceed the structural capacity; occasional use on low cars, where the investment is not justified by occasional maintenance.

Frequently asked questions
What is the main difference between the standard GRH 2/330 model and the 2/330L?
The “L” stands for “Lang”, meaning long. Differences: 85 mm minimum height versus 135 mm, a critical advantage for low cars; 530 mm chassis versus 460 mm, for increased stability; 245 mm travel versus 205 mm, for increased vertical lift; 10.9 kg weight versus 8.8 kg. The 330L model is designed for sports cars, lowered cars and tuning vehicles – it is the solution for anyone lifting low cars.
Can I use the GRH 2/330L on a normal standard car with 150+ mm ride height?
Yes, absolutely. The 330L jack works on any car – the “L” simply offers additional advantages, such as greater stability and a lower minimum height. On a standard car, you will not fully use the 85 mm minimum-height capability, but there is no disadvantage.
What minimum height allows it to fit under a sports car such as a Porsche?
85 mm is the declared minimum height. Typical Porsche sports cars have a ride height of 80–95 mm – the 330L jack fits comfortably under the structural lifting point without obstruction. The standard 330 model, with 135 mm minimum height, would be too high.
Does the longer chassis, 530 mm, make the jack difficult to store?
Slightly – it is 70 mm longer than the standard 330. However, the removable 2-piece handle still allows compact storage thanks to the low profile. If workshop space is very limited, consider the more compact standard 330 model.
Is the greater lifting travel, 245 mm versus 205 mm, significant?
Yes. On low cars, the additional 40 mm allows full lifting from 85 mm to 330 mm without intermediate supports. The standard 330 model with 205 mm travel may not reach 340 mm on very low cars – hence the need for the 330L version with extended travel.
Is the higher weight, 10.9 kg versus 8.8 kg, a transport problem?
No. The difference is 2.1 kg – still light for a single mechanic. The long chassis and reinforced construction justify the additional weight. Swivel wheels allow movement without continuous manual lifting.
What maintenance does the GRH 2/330L require?
Same as the 330 model. Monthly inspection: check oil pressure, cylinder integrity, safety valve operation, handle and wheels. Oil replacement every 12 months with moderate use. Wheel lubrication every 6 months. Intensive use, over 150 lifts/month, requires more frequent maintenance – inspection every 2 weeks.
