Bottle jack AJ series

hydraulicaluminum

Aluminium jacks combine light weight with high lifting capacity. The use of high tensile aluminium alloy allows lifting capacities of up to 100 tons resulting in a very favourable 1.8 tons lifting capacity per 1 kg weight ratio. Operation of Yale hydraulic jacks is very simple. Jacks are supplied ready for use, i.e. including hydraulic oil, operating lever and, where applicable, carrying handle and lifting claw. Aluminium jacks with lifting claw Jacks from 20 tons are available with a lifting claw. In this case the jacks are provided with an elongated base plate. The max. permissible working load of the lifting claws is 40 % of the jack capacity. Aluminium jacks with safety lock nut Jacks from 20 tons can be supplied with a safety lock nut. This device allows absolute safe jacking over a long period. In this case the hydraulic jack can be operated like a mechanical support and the hydraulic system can be totally released. Application Hydraulic jacks are universally popular tools for use in workshops or on site for all kinds of lifting and assembly applications, for construction, shipbuilding, power plants, general engineering, metal fabrication and many more. Applications are unlimited. Standard jacks with plain piston and jacks with safety lock nuts cannot be used with a lifting claw. To increase stability, all jacks with long stroke (305 mm) are equipped with an elongated base plate.
