jacking point

noun

noun

A place, usually strengthened or reinforced, provided on the underside of a vehicle so that a jack or hoist can be used to raise it when necessary.

Lifting and jacking points are provided at suitable points on the locomotive; these facilities cater not only for workshop needs but also to facilitate re-railing in case of accidents.1959 June 23, “Type "4" Diesel Locomotives for the L.M.R.”, in Railway Magazine, page 395:
