There are at least three kinds:

  1. hydraulic jack: A pump with a small-diameter piston and cylinder is operated to produce hydraulically pressurised liquid. This liquid is directed again a large piston. Since this piston is larger that the one in the pump, although the force acting on, say, a square centimetre is the same the overall force is much larger and great enough to lift a car.
  2. scissor jack: The jack is in the form of a four-sided figure with hinges at the corners. A screw is mounted horizontally so that it can rotate at one corner of the square and turn inside a thread at the opposite corner. As the screw tightens it pulls the opposite sides of the four-sided figure together forcing the top of the figure up.
  3. rack-and-pinion jack: The jack consists of a long, large diameter screw with a threaded hook on it. As the screw is turned the hook is pulled up.
