Product Information

Full details

The Sealey JLB3 Safety Support Brace is designed for mechanics and DIY enthusiasts who need to securely support a vehicle after lifting it with a hydraulic floor jack. Its key benefit is providing a stable, secondary safety measure, preventing accidental lowering. A potential caveat is that it is designed to work with hydraulic floor jacks and may not be compatible with other lifting mechanisms. This brace offers robust support, single-handed operation, and a compact design for easy storage.

FAQs

What is the weight capacity of the Sealey JLB3 Safety Support Brace?

The Sealey JLB3 Safety Support Brace has a weight capacity of 3 Tonne.

How does the automatic locking feature work?

The pin is spring-loaded and designed to automatically engage into a slot on the hydraulic floor jack's lifting mechanism as the weight is transferred, securing the position.

Can I use this brace with any type of jack?

This brace is specifically designed for hydraulic floor jacks with compatible saddle and lifting mechanisms. It is not intended for use with scissor jacks, bottle jacks, or other lifting devices.

How compact is the brace when folded?

The brace folds down to only 230mm, making it very compact for storage.

What material is the brace made from?

The brace is constructed from aluminium, which provides strength and resistance to rust.

Is single-handed operation difficult?

The spring-loaded crutch release is designed for ease of use, allowing single-handed positioning. Some users may require a brief period to get accustomed to the operation.

What is the weight of the brace itself?

The Sealey JLB3 Safety Support Brace weighs just 1.75kg.

Troubleshooting

Pin does not engage automatically

Ensure the brace is correctly aligned with the floor jack's saddle and lifting mechanism. Check for any obstructions preventing the pin from sliding freely. Try adjusting the height slightly.

Brace feels unstable

Verify that the vehicle's weight is fully transferred to the brace and not still on the jack. Ensure the brace is on a level and stable surface. Check for any damage to the brace or the jack.

Difficulty releasing the brace

Ensure the vehicle's weight is slightly lifted off the brace by the floor jack before attempting to release. Operate the spring-loaded release handle smoothly.

Corrosion or damage observed

Discontinue use immediately and inspect for structural integrity. If damage is present, replace the unit. Clean with a damp cloth and store in a dry environment for maintenance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: Ensure the hydraulic floor jack is positioned correctly under the vehicle's designated lift point. Extend the floor jack to the desired height. Position the Sealey JLB3 Safety Support Brace under the jack saddle, ensuring the brace's arm is properly aligned with the jack's lifting mechanism. Adjust the height of the brace until it engages securely with the jack. The pin should automatically lock into place. Slowly lower the floor jack until the vehicle's weight is fully supported by the brace. Always ensure the pin has engaged and the brace is stable before proceeding with any work.

Compatibility: This safety support brace is specifically designed for use with Sealey hydraulic floor jacks and similar models with compatible saddle and lifting mechanisms. It is rated for a maximum load of 3 Tonne. Always verify your floor jack's compatibility before use.

Care: Clean the brace regularly with a damp cloth to remove dirt and grease. Avoid using abrasive cleaners. Inspect the brace for any signs of damage or wear before each use. Store in a dry place to prevent corrosion, despite its aluminium construction.
