Omega 44980 8 Ton Long Ram Crane Jack
Omega 44980 is a manual long-ram hydraulic jack listed for use with Omega engine cranes, with an 8 ton component rating. The listed height range is 24-1/8 to 43-1/4 inches. Crane capacity still depends on the complete crane and its configuration; fitting an 8 ton ram does not give a hoist an 8 ton lifting capacity.

Product questions and answers
Is Omega 44980 air powered like 44981?
No air actuation is listed for 44980. The description explicitly assigns the air-turbo feature to 44981; this page is for the manual 44980.
Will the 8 ton ram make my engine crane an 8 ton crane?
No. The ram rating is a component rating. The crane's approved load depends on the complete machine, boom setting and manufacturer limits.
Do the listed heights establish compatibility with my crane?
No. The 24-1/8 to 43-1/4-inch range is only part of the selection. Confirm the exact approved crane model and attachment dimensions before replacement.
