Product Information

Full details

The Heavy-Duty 50 Tonne Bottle Jack by Loops is designed for professionals and serious DIYers needing robust lifting power for heavy vehicles and machinery. Its primary benefit is the immense 50-tonne lifting capacity combined with a machine-welded construction for enhanced durability. A key consideration is its substantial weight (25.8kg), requiring careful handling and storage.

FAQs

What is the maximum lifting height of this bottle jack?

The maximum lifting height is 450mm. The hydraulic lift itself is 170mm, and the minimum height is 280mm.

What type of hydraulic fluid should I use?

The product information does not specify the exact type. It is recommended to use a high-quality hydraulic jack oil. Consult your local supplier or a professional if unsure.

How often should I check the hydraulic fluid level?

It is recommended to check the hydraulic fluid level periodically, especially before demanding tasks. A visual inspection for leaks will also indicate if the fluid level needs attention.

Can this jack be used horizontally?

Bottle jacks are designed for vertical operation. Using it horizontally may damage the jack and is not recommended.

What safety precautions should I take when using this jack?

Always use on a level, stable surface. Ensure the load does not exceed the 50-tonne capacity. Use the overload valve and never bypass safety features. Keep hands and body clear of the load path. Consider using jack stands for prolonged support.

What is the net weight of the jack?

The net weight of the 50 Tonne Bottle Jack is 25.8kg.

How do I lower the load?

Slowly turn the release valve counter-clockwise. The speed of descent can be controlled by how far you open the valve.

Troubleshooting

Jack fails to lift or lifts slowly

Check the hydraulic fluid level and top up if necessary. Ensure the release valve is fully closed. Inspect for any leaks in the seals or hoses. Bleed the air from the system if needed.

Jack slowly loses height when under load

This indicates a potential leak. Inspect the ram seal and release valve seal for wear or damage. Do not use the jack until the leak is repaired.

Handle is difficult to operate

Ensure the release valve is fully closed. Check for any obstructions. The internal mechanism may require lubrication or servicing.

Jack makes strange noises during operation

This could be air in the hydraulic system. Attempt to bleed the air out of the system according to standard hydraulic jack procedures.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional lifting capacity for heavy-duty tasks.
  • Durable construction with a machine-welded base and reservoir.
  • Built-in safety features like an overload valve.
  • Adjustable height range suitable for diverse applications.
  • Includes a convenient 2-piece handle and carrying handle for portability.

Cons

  • Significant weight (25.8kg) can make it difficult to move or store for some users.
  • Requires a stable, level surface for safe operation.
  • Potential for hydraulic fluid leaks if not maintained properly.
  • Maximum height might be insufficient for extremely tall or elevated tasks.
  • Requires physical effort to operate the hydraulic pump.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the jack is placed on a solid, level, and stable surface capable of supporting the load.
  2. Position the jack directly beneath the designated lifting point of the vehicle or equipment.
  3. Attach the 2-piece handle to the release valve stem and pump mechanism.
  4. Slowly turn the release valve counter-clockwise to allow the ram to extend slightly, ensuring it makes firm contact with the lifting point.
  5. Operate the handle up and down to pump hydraulic fluid, raising the load.

Compatibility:

This jack is compatible with any load up to 50 tonnes. Always confirm the weight of the object being lifted and ensure it does not exceed the jack's capacity. It is suitable for use with heavy-duty vehicles, industrial machinery, and construction equipment.

Care:

  • Regular Cleaning: Wipe down the jack after each use with a clean, dry cloth to remove dirt and debris. Pay special attention to the ram and seals.
  • Hydraulic Fluid: Periodically check the hydraulic fluid level. Top up with the appropriate hydraulic jack oil if low. Refer to the manufacturer's recommendations for fluid type.
  • Storage: Store the jack in a dry, protected environment. Ensure the ram is fully retracted to protect the seals from contamination and damage.
  • Inspection: Before each use, inspect the jack for any signs of damage, leaks, or wear. Do not use if any defects are found.
  • Release Valve: Ensure the release valve operates smoothly. Lubricate sparingly if necessary.
