FAQs
What is the minimum and maximum lifting height of this jack?
The saddle has a minimum height of 160mm and a maximum lifting height of 560mm.
What type of hydraulic fluid should I use?
Use a high-quality hydraulic jack oil. Consult the product manual for specific recommendations, but generally, ISO VG 32 or VG 46 hydraulic oil is suitable.
How often should I check the hydraulic oil level?
It is recommended to check the hydraulic oil level periodically, especially if you notice a decrease in performance or before undertaking heavy lifting tasks. Refer to the user manual for specific intervals.
Can this jack be used for routine maintenance on a standard car?
While it can technically lift a car, its 10-tonne capacity and large size are designed for heavy-duty applications. For standard cars, a lighter-duty trolley jack is often more practical and easier to maneuver.
What are the overall dimensions of the jack?
The dimensions of the jack are approximately 1540mm in length, 480mm in width, and 330mm in height.
How do I control the lowering speed?
The lowering speed is controlled by the twist-release valve located on the handle. Turn it slowly counter-clockwise to lower the load; the slower you turn it, the slower the descent.
Troubleshooting
Jack fails to lift or lifts slowly.
Check the hydraulic oil level and top up if low using approved hydraulic jack oil. Ensure the release valve is fully closed before attempting to pump. Inspect for any visible leaks around the seals or cylinder.
Jack loses height after lifting.
This often indicates a seal leak. Inspect the ram and seals for damage or wear. Ensure the release valve is completely closed; even a slight opening can cause gradual descent.
Handle is difficult to operate.
Ensure the twist-release valve is fully open (counter-clockwise) when pumping. Lubricate the handle mechanism and pivot points. If resistance persists, check hydraulic fluid and for internal obstructions.
Jack is unstable during operation.
Verify that the jack is on a completely level and solid surface. Ensure the saddle is properly centered under the designated lifting point and making firm contact. Do not operate on uneven or soft ground.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: Before first use, inspect the jack for any signs of damage incurred during transport. Ensure the operating area is level and firm. Familiarize yourself with the handle operation, the twist-release valve, and the foot pedal. Confirm the handle can be locked in its desired position.
Compatibility: This trolley jack is designed for heavy-duty applications, primarily suitable for larger vehicles such as trucks, buses, agricultural equipment, and heavy plant machinery. While it can technically lift lighter vehicles, its size and capacity are best suited for industrial or commercial use.
Care: Regularly inspect the hydraulic ram and seals for leaks. Keep the jack clean and free from dirt and debris, especially around the hydraulic components. Apply a light lubricant to moving parts, including the handle joints and wheels, as needed. Store the jack in a dry environment, ideally on a level surface, to prevent corrosion and ensure smooth operation. Periodically check the oil level in the hydraulic system and top up with appropriate hydraulic jack oil if necessary, following the manufacturer's recommendations.
