Product Information
Full details
This SGS 20 Tonne Hydraulic Bottle Jack is designed for demanding daily use in professional garages and industrial environments. Its key benefit is its robust construction and high lifting capacity, ensuring reliable performance for heavy-duty tasks. A potential caveat is its weight and size, which may require dedicated storage space. Key features include a heat-treated extension screw for precise height adjustment, a serrated saddle for secure grip, a wide and stable base, and reinforced stress points for enhanced durability. An automatic safety overload valve is included for added protection.

FAQs
What is the maximum lifting height of this jack?
The maximum lifting height is 452mm.
What is the minimum pickup height?
The minimum pickup height is 242mm.
How often should I check the hydraulic fluid?
It is recommended to check the hydraulic fluid level periodically, especially before heavy use, and top up as needed.
Can this jack be used for lifting at an angle?
Bottle jacks are designed for vertical lifting. Using it at an angle can compromise stability and safety. Always ensure the jack is on a level surface and directly beneath the load.
What type of hydraulic fluid should I use?
Use a quality hydraulic jack oil. Consult your local auto parts store for recommendations or refer to the product manual if available for specific fluid types.
What does the 2-year extended warranty cover?
The warranty typically covers manufacturing defects and component failures under normal use. It is recommended to review the warranty documentation for specific terms and conditions.
How do I maintain the jack for longevity?
Keep the jack clean, dry, and store it with the ram retracted. Regularly inspect for damage and ensure the hydraulic fluid is at the correct level.
Troubleshooting
Jack fails to lift or lifts very slowly
Check the hydraulic fluid level and top up if necessary. Ensure the release valve is fully closed. Inspect for any leaks in the hydraulic system.
Jack will not hold the load
Ensure the release valve is completely closed and tightened. Inspect the ram and seals for damage or leaks. Do not attempt to use if the jack is not holding pressure securely.
Ram does not retract fully
Ensure the release valve is fully open. Check for obstructions preventing the ram from retracting. If the issue persists, there may be an internal problem with the hydraulic system.
Visible leaks from the cylinder or seals
Cease using the jack immediately. Leaking seals indicate a need for repair or replacement of hydraulic components. Contact customer support or a qualified repair service.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure the jack is placed on a firm, level surface capable of supporting the load.
- Position the jack directly beneath the designated lifting point of the vehicle or equipment.
- Connect the handle and begin pumping to raise the load.
Compatibility:
This jack is compatible with any heavy vehicle or equipment that has a suitable, strong lifting point within the jack's lifting range (242mm to 452mm) and does not exceed its 20-tonne capacity.
Care:
- Keep the jack clean and free from dirt, debris, and corrosive materials.
- Regularly inspect the hydraulic seals and cylinder for leaks or damage.
- Store the jack in a dry environment, preferably with the ram fully retracted to protect it from corrosion.
- Check the hydraulic fluid level periodically. If low, top up with appropriate hydraulic jack oil.
- When not in use, store the jack on a level surface with the ram fully lowered.
