Low profile trolley jack

Hi - can anybody recommend a trolley for my C2S Gen 2 Cabrio? It won't get used a lot, just to be able to properly clean the wheels occasionally. The typical ones I have seen do not fit under the car easily. The downside to the low profile is the correspondingly high price. Recommendations very welcomed.
 
I have one of these - which is very low

Ok as long as you don't try to lift the whole car with it!

This is stronger but pricier

Got a Blue Point aluminium one from a snap-on dealer,cost a bit more,but its a lot thicker than most and stronger and its still easy to carry.

I have the same as tscaptain, purchased on one of machinemarts VAT free promotion days. It will easily lift both wheels on one side of the car off the ground when using the rear jacking point.
 
I have some short planks that I drive onto to lift the car a few inches so that my jack will fit under. Very cheap!

I roll mine onto a couple of floor tiles and use a Halfords jack costing about £30. Works well. the car has been on the jack for 24 hors or more and not lowered at all.
