KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS:
High-Capacity Lifting: With a substantial 50-ton capacity, this jack can effortlessly handle the heaviest commercial vehicles and industrial equipment.
Enhanced Durability: Features a heat-treated cylinder wall and chromed piston, along with an alloy steel lifting mechanism for extended service life.
Efficient Air-Hydraulic Operation: The air/hydraulic system with a unique motor design accelerates ram advancement for faster lifting.
Advanced Safety Mechanisms: Includes an integral safety overload system to prevent overcapacity usage.
Optimal Maneuverability: Large 8-5/8” rear wheels allow for easy positioning under heavy equipment.
Versatile Lifting Range: Comes with a ram extension kit (3/4”, 2-3/8”, and 4” or 2-3/4”) to accommodate varied lifting heights.
Capacity: 50 Tons
Ram Lift: 5.75 inches
Low Height: 12.375 inches
High Height: 26.5 inches (with extensions)
Reach: 65 inches
Width: 14.5 inches
Ship Weight: 158 lbs
Operating Air Pressure: 90-180 PSI
Included in Product: 1-piece handle, Ram Extension Kit (3/4”, 2-3/8”, and 4” or 2-3/4”), In-line air filter, Automatic in-line oiler
Preparation: Ensure the vehicle is on a stable, level surface. Chock unlifted wheels and verify the jack’s air supply (90–180 PSI).
Positioning: Roll the jack under the lifting point using the one-piece handle and large wheels. Center the saddle under the contact point.
Adjusting Height (if needed): Choose the appropriate ram extension and insert it securely into the ram before lifting.
Lifting the Load: Activate the air supply. The motor advances the ram quickly to contact, then lifts the load. Monitor for stability.
Securing the Load: Once at desired height, place jack stands beneath the vehicle. Never rely on the jack alone for support.
Storage: Retract the ram fully, disconnect air, and store the jack in a dry, clean place with the handle in position.
