Tony,
That is not a vehicle jack. It is what is known colloquially as a bottle jack and is used for lifting heavy items. At the slipyard where I worked for 25 years we would jack up 100 ton trawlers using multiple jacks just like that one. Having said that, they are extremely useful around the workshop. But!! they do tend to slip if placed metal to metal. Always put some wood between the jack and the metal your jacking.
Regards Rick.
