American Forge & Foundry 35-Ton Single Stage Air/Hydr Axle Jack (536)
The American Forge & Foundry 35-Ton Single Stage Air/Hydr Axle Jack (536) is engineered for the demanding world of heavy vehicle maintenance. This robust lifting solution provides substantial 35-ton capacity, making it an indispensable tool for truck and trailer shops, rail and bus maintenance, and crucial roadside service calls. Its advanced air/hydraulic system ensures rapid, controlled lifting and lowering, enhancing efficiency and safety in any professional setting. The thoughtfully designed compact and low-profile chassis allows for optimal access, easily fitting between the wheels of tandem axle vehicles. Constructed with precision and quality in mind, the Model 536 stands as a reliable partner for your toughest lifting challenges.
KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS:
High Lifting Capacity: Provides a substantial 35-ton capacity, suitable for a wide range of heavy trucks, trailers, and industrial equipment.
Efficient Air/Hydraulic Operation: Utilizes a specially engineered high-speed air motor to deliver fast and efficient lifting, significantly reducing service time.
Compact & Accessible Design: Features a low-profile and compact chassis that allows for maximum access, making it easy to position the jack even between the wheels of tandem axle vehicles.
Enhanced Stability and Durability: Built with fully welded hydraulic pump and cylinder construction, ensuring increased structural strength and reliable, leak-free operation.
Superior Mobility: Equipped with large all-terrain rubber wheels, facilitating effortless movement and positioning whether in a busy shop or on varied outdoor surfaces.
Flexible Positioning: An extra-long handle can be locked in three different positions (90-180 degrees), providing versatile positioning options and improved user ergonomics.
Safety Assurance: Incorporates a safety overload system that prevents the jack from being operated beyond its rated capacity, protecting both equipment and personnel.

Prepare the Vehicle: Ensure the vehicle is on a stable, level surface. Engage the parking brake and block any wheels that will remain on the ground to prevent movement.
Connect Air Supply: Connect an air compressor line to the jack's air inlet. Ensure your air compressor can supply the required working air pressure of 90-150 PSI.
Position the Jack: Roll the axle jack to the desired lifting point under the vehicle's axle or frame. Utilize the extra-long handle and its 3-position lock (90-180 degrees) for optimal positioning.
Select Extensions: If needed, insert one or more of the provided heat-treated extensions (3/4”, 2-3/4”, or 4”) into the saddle to achieve the necessary lifting height.
Initiate Lift: Operate the control valve or lever to start the air/hydraulic lifting mechanism. The specially engineered high-speed air motor will rapidly advance the ram to the load.
Lift to Desired Height: Continue lifting until the vehicle reaches the desired working height. Monitor the stability of the vehicle throughout the lifting process.
Secure with Stands: Crucially, once the vehicle is lifted, immediately place appropriately rated jack stands under the vehicle at secure support points. The axle jack is a lifting device, not a long-term support device.
Remove Jack: Once the ram is fully retracted, remove the axle jack from under the vehicle.
