ENERPAC Jacks FAQ's

What are hydraulic jacks?

Hydraulic jacks are devices that use hydraulic fluid to create a lifting force. They are commonly used in automotive and construction applications. Hydraulic jacks use a pump to pressurise hydraulic fluid, then push against a piston. This action creates a lifting force that can be used to raise heavy objects. Hydraulic jacks are known for their immense lifting power and their ability to operate in tight spaces.

What are hydraulic jacks used for?

How do hydraulic jacks work?

Hydraulic jacks use a simple principle to lift heavy loads. They rely on the fact that when an incompressible fluid is forced into a confined space, it generates pressure. This pressure can then be used to push against a load, lifting it into the air.

The key part of a hydraulic jack is the cylinder. This is a hollow chamber that contains hydraulic fluid. When you pump the jack’s handle, this forces fluid into the cylinder, increasing the pressure inside. In turn, this pushes against the piston, which is attached to the load you want to lift. The result is that your load is lifted into the air!

Hydraulic jacks are incredibly versatile and can be used for all sorts of tasks, from changing a tyre on a car to lifting a heavy piece of machinery in a factory. They’re also very safe to use, as long as you follow the instructions carefully.

What is a hydraulic bottle jack?

A hydraulic bottle jack is a type of lifting device that uses hydraulics to lift heavy loads. Hydraulic jacks are commonly used in automotive and construction applications.

Bottle jacks get their name from their shape—they are typically cylindrical in shape, with a large base and a smaller top. The hydraulic mechanism inside the jack allows it to generate great force, making it ideal for lifting heavy objects.

What is a toe jack?

A toe jack is a type of hydraulic jack that is used to lift heavy objects. It gets its name from the fact that it has a toe (or tip) at the end of the lifting arm, which helps to stabilise the object being lifted. Toe jacks are very versatile and can be used for various applications, such as lifting cars, trucks, and other vehicles.

There are many different types of hydraulic jacks on the market, but toe jacks are one of the most popular. This is because they are relatively inexpensive and easy to use, making them a great choice for those who need to lift heavy objects regularly.

What is a tracker aligner jack?

A tracker aligner jack is a hydraulic lifting device that is used to raise and lower vehicles. It is typically used in automotive repair shops to align wheels and track vehicles.

Tracker aligner jacks use hydraulics to lift and lower vehicles. They are operated by a hand pump, which pressurises the hydraulic fluid in the jack. This pressure is then transferred to the vehicle, lifting it off the ground.

What are mechanical jacks?

A mechanical jack uses a screw thread or rack and pinion to apply force, unlike a hydraulic jack. The most common type of mechanical jack is the car jack, which is used to lift vehicles to perform maintenance.

Mechanical jacks can be manually operated or powered by electricity. When force is applied to the handle of a mechanical jack, it turns a screw thread or rack and pinion. This, in turn, raises the load that is attached to the jack. The amount of force that can be applied to the handle depends on the design of the jack.

What is the Pow'r Lock jack?

The Pow’R Lock is a new type of hydraulic jack that uses a self-locking mechanism to keep the load securely in place. This makes it ideal for use in applications where traditional jacks would not provide sufficient holding power, such as lifting heavy equipment or vehicles.

The Pow’R Lock jack works by using a series of check valves and a pressure-relief valve to create a self-locking circuit. This prevents the load from being released unintentionally, even if the power supply is lost or interrupted.

Hydraulic Jack Safety: How do you reduce risk?

When using a hydraulic jack, always make sure that the base is firmly seated on the ground before you start to lift. If the base is not secure, the jack could tip over and cause serious injury or damage to equipment.

Never get underneath a vehicle that is supported by a hydraulic jack. If the jack were to fail, the vehicle could fall on top of you and crush you. Always be sure to make use of trestles to support the vehicle.

Always use caution when working with hydraulics. The fluid under high pressure can be very dangerous if it leaks out or if the hose bursts. If you are injured by hydraulic fluid, seek medical attention immediately.

Hydraulic jacks are powerful tools that can be very useful in various situations. However, it is important to always use them safely to avoid serious injury or damage to property.
