Construction paint- sprays upside down for wrecks

Can you explain this one? Thanks

It’s spray paint for marking the location of vehicles. We marked the center of the tire at the pavement and indicated direction. And a number at the rear(1 in a circle, 2 in a circle, etc) to be used to mark the cars for after they are moved.

The city didn’t give it to us....construction paint will spray while the can is pointed “upside down” at the ground.

I gots one like these

Not light weight, but I have ramped it into the pickup bed.

If I was to go with a bottle jack, I'd probably go with something like these.

3 ton bottle jack, jack stand combo.

I'm surprised the fire department didn't have an inflatable bag for a quick solution.

I fall into the bottle jack camp, and it's what I carry in my Tacoma, along with several pieces of 2"x8" and 2"x10", for providing a good base on soft ground and/or raising the lifting height.
 
For lifting (anything), I prefer to go with quality built and overkill on capacity. Norco bottle jacks are made in Japan, high quality and rebuildable. I chose the 5 ton model (overkill), but there are 2 and 3 ton models on that page as well, either of which would work for your situation. Check the specs of each because they vary in minimum height and lifting height/range.
 
The 3 ton (76503B) can be had online at <$65.

This and a couple of 1' pieces of 4"x4" wood.

Maybe after you've lifted it some with the floor jack. It's tough fitting a bottle jack under most of the vehicles on the road, especially if they have a flat tire.

When you're dead, you don't know you're dead. The pain is only felt by others. The same thing happens when you're stupid.

I bought a Harbor Frieght Alum. jacj that has served well. Under $100.
