The Loops Heavy-Duty Floor Transmission Jack is designed for professional mechanics and serious DIYers needing to safely support heavy automotive components, particularly gearboxes, during maintenance. Its primary benefit is the robust 1-tonne capacity combined with a safety chain for secure operation. A minor caveat is its significant weight (130kg), which impacts portability. Key features include heavy-duty construction, a wide adjustable saddle with versatile tilt options, a precision control valve, and four castors for maneuverability.

The height is adjusted by pumping the hydraulic lift lever. Delicate adjustments for positioning can be made using the precision control valve.
The overall dimensions are approximately 650mm wide x 1080mm long.
Check the hydraulic fluid level. Ensure the release valve is fully closed. If the issue persists, the hydraulic system may need bleeding or servicing.
Verify that the load is centered correctly on the saddle. Ensure the release valve is tightly closed. If the saddle continues to drift, there might be a leak in the hydraulic cylinder, requiring professional inspection.
Inspect the castors for obstructions such as debris or wiring. Clean the castor wheels and bearings. Apply a suitable lubricant to the castor swivels if necessary.
Adjust the chain tension using its integrated mechanism or ensure it is properly secured to the component being lifted. Never operate the jack if the chain cannot provide secure fastening.
Setup: The transmission jack is largely pre-assembled. Ensure all castors are securely attached. Before first use, check that the hydraulic system is properly primed by operating the lift lever several times. Confirm the safety chain is securely attached to its anchor points.
Compatibility: This jack is designed to work with most standard automotive transmissions and gearboxes. Its adjustable saddle and tilt features make it compatible with a wide range of vehicle makes and models. Always ensure the component being lifted is securely fastened to the saddle before raising.
Care: Regularly inspect the hydraulic system for leaks. Keep the lifting surfaces and saddle clean from grease and debris. After each use, lower the saddle completely and store the jack in a dry environment. Periodically check the castors for free movement and damage. Lubricate moving parts as needed according to general maintenance best practices.
