trolley jack

so I am slowly fitting out my home garage as I want to do brakes, basic maintenance etc on vehicles, but the bottle jack I have only just lifts the Disco high enough, and I can't get axle stands in and lowered without the wheel hitting the ground again.

So looking for an ok trolley jack - what do people use?
anyone any experience with sgs?

seen Bodsy recommends the machine mart one, but it's a bit more. Worth it?

(feeling poor at the moment, too!)

I also have a 3 ton SGS trolley jack. Had it for a couple of years now and it is big heavy and solid. It lifts the Disco like it weighs next to nothing. I got a couple of axel stands at the same time and they are sturdy too.
