Hydraulic Bottle Jack Benefits

Hydraulic jacks offer many benefits and are frequently used for raising vehicles for underneath access and tyre changes. They do have a wide range of other uses and can be used anywhere than warrants the need to lift a heavy load a small distance from the ground up. Pipe bending can also be carried out by a bottle jack. Bottle jacks are compact in nature so they can be stored away easily using up minimal space. They are ideal for keeping in the boot of your vehicle for easy tyre changes should you get a puncture. These jacks are also easy to handle and use with minimal effort required and minimal technical knowledge.

What weights can a Hydraulic Jack Lift?

The bottle jack variety can be found with lifting capacities of many tonnes. So whether you need a 2 tonne bottle jack or a 10 tonne bottle jack you will find what you need right here at great prices. The higher up the capacity scale you go the weight and dimensions of the bottle jack will increase, but not massively.

Hydraulic Jack Basics

Although compact, bottle jacks are fairly weighty objects and have a stable base to keep them in position. The lifting power generated by hydraulics occurs as a result of using the lever/pump to force hydraulic fluid from one chamber into another. The pressure creates a transfer of energy. Which then supplies the usable force required to raise the lifting platform and thus the load. The jack will remain in its raised position until the release valve is operated to release the pressure/force that keeps it up.

Safety Tips

Always ensure the bottle jack is positioned at the correct jacking points on the vehicle. You should also ensure the hydraulic jack is and remains firm and flat on the ground, it should never tilt, Good stability is key to a safe lifting operation. If you are using multiple Jacks you should operate them in small increments in tandem to ensure vehicle stability. Never allow any person to go under a load held by a jack. Unless there is additional support in place to hold the vehicle. Good practices are essential to safety. Thus you will typically find that users will also use additional support stands once the load has been lifted to the required position.
