English term or phrase: Pivoting jack
Contexto: Texto sobre F1, estamos no pit stop:

Pivoting jack

"A 'jack' is a device for lifting heavy objects; here we see one used to raise the car's axle off the ground so that wheels can be changed or their underside inspected. Here 'pivoting' means that the jack used has a pivot, so can be turned."

Sei que é alguma espécie de macaco, e o mais próximo que encontrei até agora foi macaco giratório. Seria isso?

Agradeço antecipadamente!

Explanation:
Sugestão, mas não encontrei referências válidas específicas para F1. A maioria dos macacos articulados são aqueles comuns que vem nos carros de passeio.

pivoting jack
macaco com plataforma (de elevação) articulada


Explanation:
Sem dúvida, é um macaco! E o link do Nick descreve o resto. É a plataforma ("lifting pad") do macaco que é articulada para permitir desengate rápido na hora de baixar o carro:

"(...) the mechanic pulls a lever to release the front jack, the lifting pad drops away, pivoting on the axle and the car drops quickly to the ground."
