FAQs

What is the maximum weight capacity of this jack?

The AB Tools TR351 has a maximum weight capacity of 600kg.

What are the height ranges of the jack?

The jack extends from 47cm when fully retracted to 80cm at full height, not including the handle.

Does the jack come ready to use?

The jack is supplied in red oxide primer and is functional. However, for optimal longevity and appearance, painting is recommended.

How do I maintain the jack for optimal performance?

Regularly lubricate the gears using the integrated grease nipple. Keep the jack clean and dry, and apply paint to the primer finish for corrosion protection.

Can this jack be used for long-term storage or just temporary support?

This jack is suitable for both temporary support during loading/unloading and for stabilizing trailers during longer-term storage, provided it is used on a stable surface and properly maintained.

What is the purpose of the grease nipple?

The grease nipple allows for easy lubrication of the internal gears, ensuring smooth operation, reducing wear, and extending the life of the jack.

Troubleshooting

Jack is difficult to extend or retract

Ensure the telescopic sections are clean and free of debris. Lubricate the gears through the grease nipple. Check for any obstructions.

Base plate seems unstable on soft ground

Place a sturdy, flat board (e.g., a piece of thick plywood) under the base plate to increase its surface area and distribute the load more effectively.

Rust appearing on the jack

Clean the affected area and apply a suitable metal primer followed by a durable topcoat of paint. Ensure all exposed metal is covered.

Handle is stiff or hard to turn

Apply grease to the gears via the grease nipple and work the handle back and forth to distribute the lubricant.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Very heavy-duty construction ensures longevity and reliability.
  • Wide base plate provides excellent stability and load distribution.
  • Telescopic design offers adjustable height for various applications.
  • Integrated grease nipple simplifies maintenance and ensures smooth operation.
  • Suitable for leveling and preventing trailer tipping.

Cons

  • Requires painting or proper finishing to prevent rust due to primer coating.
  • Base plate may be too large for very confined spaces.
  • Handle length is not included in the height measurement, which might be a minor detail for some users.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Ensure the jack is placed on a firm, level surface. Extend the jack to the desired height by turning the handle, ensuring the telescopic sections move freely. For best results, apply a small amount of grease to the gears via the grease nipple before initial use.

Compatibility: This jack is compatible with most types of trailers and caravans that require stabilization or leveling. It is particularly useful for preventing the front of a trailer from lifting when the rear is heavily loaded or when unhitching.

Care: The jack is supplied with a red oxide primer. For long-term protection against corrosion, it is recommended to paint the jack after cleaning or welding. Regularly lubricate the gears through the grease nipple to ensure smooth operation and prevent seizing. Clean the jack with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly after use, especially in wet conditions.
