Product Information

Full details

The Sealey 500TTJ is designed for professional mechanics and automotive technicians who need a reliable, space-saving solution for gearbox removal and installation. Its key benefit is the 2-stage telescopic design that allows for operation in low-clearance environments, making it an essential tool for busy workshop floors. The primary caveat for users is that, while highly stable, the unit is intended specifically for vertical transmission lifting and should not be used as a general-purpose vehicle support jack.

FAQs

Can I use the 500TTJ to lift the entire vehicle?

No, this device is designed exclusively for the removal and installation of transmissions and gearboxes. It is not a vehicle support stand.

What is the maximum lifting capacity?

The maximum capacity is 0.5 tonnes (500kg).

Why does the jack stop lowering when I let go of the handle?

This is the 'dead man's' safety feature, which prevents accidental lowering if you lose physical contact with the release control.

How often should I change the hydraulic oil?

Generally, it is recommended to inspect the oil annually and replace it if the fluid appears contaminated or if the jack performance becomes sluggish.

Can I use this on uneven concrete?

It is highly recommended to use the jack only on flat, level, and solid workshop floors to ensure maximum safety and stability.

Troubleshooting

Jack fails to lift the load

Check the hydraulic fluid level and ensure the release valve is fully closed before pumping.

Jack lowers slowly under load

Inspect the release valve for debris or potential leakage; bleed the hydraulic system to remove air pockets.

Saddle will not stay in position

Tighten the adjustment bolts on the saddle assembly and ensure the load is balanced correctly on the centre of the saddle.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Compact telescopic design for restricted clearance
  • Hands-free foot pedal operation
  • Enhanced safety with dead man's release
  • High-quality construction for industrial workshop longevity
  • Excellent manoeuvrability around the shop floor

Cons

  • Requires significant vertical space when fully extended
  • Not suitable for use as a primary vehicle jack stand
  • Requires periodic hydraulic fluid maintenance

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure longevity, the Sealey 500TTJ should be stored on a level surface to prevent hydraulic seal degradation. Before use, always bleed the hydraulic system by pumping the pedal several times without load to remove any trapped air. The unit is compatible with most standard vehicle transmissions within the 0.5-tonne weight limit. Regular maintenance includes inspecting the heavy-duty castors for debris that could inhibit movement and checking the hydraulic oil levels annually. If the jack is exposed to heavy grit or metal shavings, wipe down the telescopic rams before retracting them to avoid scoring the seals.
