Exclamation This 2T Floor Jack could not lift the front of c300

Hey Folks
I bought this Montomaster 2 Tones low profile Jack to lift the front of my 2017 c300 and it could't !
The jack seems to work ok as I was able to lift the car's corner to swap my tires but when I tried to lift the front of car, it was not moving up!,
here is my calculation
the c300 2017 curb weight is 3600lb which is about 1600kg
I want to lift the front of car so it will be approximately 1T , so if I buy a 2T floor jack it should be fine ! ===> "FAILED"
any idea ?
I returned the jack anyway but what floor jack will you recommend ? I'm located in Toronto Canada



Motomaster 2T Floor jack
