Abstract
A jack with a foot resting on the ground and with a supporting plate that rises away from the foot, lifts the vehicle, and pivots around one or more articulations on a supporting component around an axis paralleling the length of the vehicle. The object is to make it possible to compensate for tilting along the vehicle without causing unilateral stress that could damage the bottom of the vehicle with local pressure. The jack accordingly has at least one support (17) on or between the articulations (15 and 16) and between the supporting plate (8) and the supporting component (3), and the articulations allow a limited pitch paralleling the length of the vehicle on the part of the plate.
