VAICO V20-1947 Protective Frames

The VAICO V20-1947 Protective Frame is a high‑performance mounting solution designed to securely support a vehicle’s jack or lift system on both sides of the chassis. Its dual‑side compatibility makes it an ideal choice for automotive technicians and enthusiasts who require reliable, symmetrical support during maintenance or repair tasks.

Key Functional Features

• Dual‑Side Mounting Capability: The frame is engineered to be installed on either side of the vehicle’s frame, providing balanced support for jacks positioned on the driver’s or passenger’s side. This versatility eliminates the need for separate left and right mounting plates.
• Robust Construction: Constructed from high‑strength steel with a protective coating, the V20-1947 offers exceptional durability against corrosion and mechanical stress during heavy lifting operations.
• Precision Fitment: The design incorporates accurately machined mounting holes that align perfectly with standard jack attachment points. This ensures a secure fit without requiring extensive modifications to the vehicle’s frame.
• Load‑Bearing Design: Engineered to handle substantial loads, the protective frame distributes weight evenly across the chassis, reducing localized stress and extending the lifespan of both the jack and the vehicle structure.
• Easy Installation: The plate’s streamlined shape allows for quick attachment using standard fasteners. Its symmetrical design means that installation steps are identical regardless of which side of the vehicle is being prepared.

Applications Across Vehicle Models

The VAICO V20-1947 Protective Frame is compatible with a wide range of automotive platforms, including but not limited to:

• BMW models such as the MINI (3/5 doors), Clubman, Cabriolet, and various Coupe variants.
• Other European brands that employ standard jack mounting systems, thanks to its universal design.
• Custom or aftermarket lift setups where a reliable, symmetrical support plate is required.

Installation Overview

1. Position the Frame: Align the V20-1947 plate with the designated jack mounting area on either side of the vehicle. Ensure that the mounting holes line up with the existing chassis or frame points.
2. Screw Securely: Use appropriate bolts and washers to fasten the plate firmly in place. Tightening should be performed evenly across all fastening points to maintain balance.
3. Attach the Jack: Once the protective frame is secured, mount the jack onto the plate following standard procedures. The dual‑side design guarantees that the jack will sit flush and stable on either side.
4. Verify Stability: Before lifting the vehicle, double‑check all fasteners for tightness and confirm that the jack sits evenly on the frame without wobble.

Maintenance Tips

• Inspect the protective plate regularly for signs of wear or corrosion. Clean with a mild detergent if necessary.
• Re‑tighten bolts after each use to counteract any loosening caused by vibration during lifting operations.
• Avoid overloading beyond the specified weight limits to preserve structural integrity.
