2 Ton Hybrid Car Jack

anglais vers français Technique / Génie Industrie automobile / voitures et camions
I assume "Hybrid" in the sense steel/aluminum (as in this pic: http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=214805)

Do I have to translate Car Jack with cric automobile or is cric self-explanatory?

My suggestion hopefully works:
Cric hybride de 2 tonnes
Proposed translations (français)
4 +2 Cric hybride (aluminium) 2 tonnes
3 -1 cric 2 tonnes pour voiture hybride

Discussion

Daryo Jul 16, 2015:
do you have any picture? or more information? Is this part of a list of tools you get with the car? part of the user manual for the car? There must some more context than just "Tech/Engineering - Automotive / Cars & Trucks"

The only bit that is "self-explanatory" is that this a device designed to lift cars that can produce a 2 tons lifting force - all the rest is open to interpretation - for all we know it could even be some special model for hybrid cars ...
Marc Rizkallah (asker) Jul 16, 2015:
aluminium vs. steel It seems that in the jack business, (at least from what I gather from the discussion on the link I posted), that there are more robust steel models and lighter, cheaper, less sturdy aluminium models. I suppose the "hybrid" offers a middle-ground solution.

Cric hybride (aluminium) 2 tonnes

Hybrid refers indeed to the material (I think most people rather use the locution "hybride aluminium" in French). I would not say "de 2 tonnes" because that could suggest the cric WEIGHS two tons.

Thanks!
agree Tony M : Of course, the 'car' is probably not necessary, if the wider context makes it clear this is in an automotive field.
