Buy jacks for industrial and construction tasks
When performing repair, construction, installation and dismantling work at an industrial enterprise or production facility, it is often necessary to use a jack. Regardless of the type and design, the main task of a jack is to lift a load, machine, process equipment, or building structure to a low height to perform repairs or installation.
There are 2 main types of industrial jacks: hydraulic and mechanical rail jacks.
Types and design features of hydraulic jacks
The catalog of the online store “Rigging Systems” presents the following types of hydraulic jacks:
1. Hydraulic bottle jacks are a type of hand jacks whose principle of operation is based on pumping hydraulic oil, which raises/lowers the device's rod. The jacks allow you to lift loads to a height limited by the stroke of the rod within 127-180 mm (depending on the model) and fix the device in this position. They have a relatively simple design and are easy to operate. Bottle jacks have a smooth stroke, which is very important for particularly precise work. The only drawback of jacks is that they can only be used vertically. Jacks should also be stored and transported only vertically, otherwise, oil will start to spill out. Bottle jacks are available in load capacities from 5.0 to 50.0 tons.
2. Industrial hydraulic jacks - reinforced jacks for industrial use, which, unlike bottle jacks, can be operated in a horizontal plane and at any angle. This feature expands the options for using lifting equipment during installation, repair and construction work. It is convenient to use the jack in hard-to-reach places and in cramped conditions due to the ability to rotate the device body 360°. The built-in overload protection protects the device from critical loads, thereby extending its service life.The jack is designed to have a low lift for the possibility of lifting low loads relative to the floor level. There is a removable handle for easy transfer of the unit to a new location. They operate at temperatures from -20 °C to + 50 °C.
They are available with lifting capacities of 5.0, 10.0 and 25.0 tons and a rod height of up to 230 mm.
3. Hydraulic cylinder jacks (with oil station) - special hydraulic jacks with a small stroke of 11-69 mm (depending on the model of the unit), used for precise lifting and positioning of the load. The hydraulic cylinder rod is driven by the oil station pump. Compared to bottle jacks, hydraulic cylinders of this type can operate in both vertical and horizontal planes.
Jacks with oil stations are available with lifting capacities of 20.0, 30.0, 50.0 and 100.0 tons.
Types and purpose of mechanical rail jacks
Rail jacks are a type of mechanical jacks that are used for a wide range of tasks. Structurally, the rail jack consists of a metal body and a rail with which the gear wheel of the gear transmission engages, moving down or up. Rail jacks can be operated horizontally or vertically. The device allows you to pick up low-lying loads due to the presence of a lower paw. The upper support can also be used to secure the load. Compared to hydraulic jacks, rail mechanisms have a wider lifting range.
A type of mechanical device is a rail jack of the Hi Jack type, which is used by jeepers and owners of off-road vehicles, amateurs and professionals of off-road driving. The well-thought-out design of the Hi Jack makes it possible to pick up the car in any plane by the power structures (sills, kangaroo), bumper, wheels. With Hi Jack jacks, you can quickly change a tire or pull a stuck SUV out of the mud/snow.
