Factory spare tire jack - what is the name for this style of jack?

Looking to purchase a similar style but larger jack of this type but cannot find anything but standard bottle jacks, scissor jacks, or non-automotive screw jacks.

Any ideas on the right key words to find more jacks of this style?

 

They are scissor jacks. In RV world, they can be called stabilizer jack, but they will have a flat top.

 

Go to the junk yard and they often have large selections to chose from, or pick and chose from domestics.

They are dangerous and not many companies want to sell them on shelves for anything above the height of a Rav4.

 

Get you a good floor jack. Those bottle jacks are for if you want to commit suicide. It’s like trying to balance a fridge on a coke bottle

 

If you want a bottle jack go get a hydraulic one that's of decent quality. Like everything there is a place for them in recovery, maintenance, etc. Just like every other jack you need to know how to use them safely

 

No joke.
I've seen guys do stuff that made my hair stand on end.

Every now and then there's a news item about some guy getting crushed while working on his vehicle.
Of course they never tell you the circumstances.
But the visual I get is of a guy without jack stands, tires not blocked, using a bottle jack.

 

Ive heard some refer to that type as a "screw Jack" before .

 

I'm looking for a jack to put on chains. Wouldn't a bottle jack cut the mustard?
If I were to work underneath my truck, wouldn't the bottle jack with jack stands suffice?

 

you should always use jack stands when under a vehicle regardless of what type of jack you use. I use jack stands and this bottle jack/stand combo I got from tractor supply when I don't feel like wheeling the large heavy ass floor jack out.

 

I have this same jack, its great. I have it in my truck mounted in the rear access cab area. As the stock jack will not get my summer tires off the ground.

It cant fly around mounted like this. These have to be stored upright, if you put them on their side they will leak.
