You could look at the sealey one and add the special jacking beam they do for Defender axles. I keeping thinking I'll get one but my current Jack won't die. 2007 110 TDCi Station Wagon XS

I got this jack and use the extension arm which gives 2 points of contact on the axle. It's been faultless so far.

Machine Mart is worth a look.
I use just the Hydraulic jack on the axle, I find it’s the safest option for me, but Trolley jacks have their uses and are faster / easier in other ways and in situations where there is a solid level floor. One benefit I can think of is faster to get a trolley jack underneath, but only in the right environment such as solid garage floor. |

Bit pricey but a bit different too.

The JCB is similar to (but cheaper than) the stunning Pro-Eagle.

I have a few trolley off-road trolley jacks but have found i use this more nowadays easy to grab and sling under the vehicle and the added safety benefit of integral jack stand, high lift height too.

I like the idea of that. My Wife's car has nowhere to support the rear except the single lift point on each side so I always end with nowhere to put the stand once it is jacked up. 2007 110 TDCi Station Wagon XS

Interesting. Is it low enough to get under a Land Rover axle without jacking it up first? I’ve found them on Amazon but couldn’t see dimensions. Also worth noting that it is “ton” and not “tonne”. So only approx 1300kg for a 3 Ton rating. |

I'm not quite sure how you arrived at a figure of 1300kg. 1 ton = 2240 lbs (in the civilised world), 2000 lbs in the US. It's an American product. 1 tonne = 1000kg = 2200 lbs. The label on the device says "2721.5kg". |

My bad. Started writing it, then went off to do something before coming back to it and didn’t really read what I’d typed.
One of the listings for the item I was looking at says “3000lbs” which is 1360kg. The sticker does say 3 Ton which is 6000lbs. However I think axle stands (jack stands in the USA) are usually rated in pairs. Which would mean a single unit could explain the 3000lbs in the listing. Either way for someone in the U.K. the 3 Ton sticker could be misleading if you are thinking that as a single unit it’ll be fine for 3000kg. With my assumption being it is actually less than half this. |
