FAQs
What is the maximum lifting height of this jack?
The maximum height is 390mm, achieved by combining the minimum height (205mm), lifting height (125mm), and adjustment height (60mm) of the extendable head.
Is this jack suitable for trucks?
The jack has a 10-ton capacity, which is suitable for many light to medium-duty trucks. Always verify the weight of the vehicle or load and ensure it does not exceed the jack's capacity.

Troubleshooting
Jack fails to lift
Ensure the release valve is fully closed (turned clockwise). Check the hydraulic fluid level; if low, add appropriate hydraulic jack oil. Verify the lifting point is stable and that the load does not exceed the 10-ton capacity.
Jack slowly lowers under load
This may indicate a leak. Check the release valve for proper sealing and ensure it is fully closed. Inspect seals for damage. If the problem persists, it may require professional servicing or seal replacement.
Ram does not retract fully
Ensure the release valve is fully open (turned counter-clockwise). Check for obstructions around the ram. Ensure the jack is not overloaded.
Hydraulic fluid leaking
Inspect the ram seals, valve assembly, and hose connections (if applicable) for visible damage. Small leaks may occur at seals over time; if significant leakage is present, the jack may need repair or replacement.
