What is a Hydraulic Jack?

A hydraulic jack is a device that is used to lift heavy loads by applying a force via a hydraulic cylinder. Hydraulic jacks lift loads using the force created by the pressure in the cylinder chamber.

How does a jack work?

Jacks lift a load in one of two ways. Mechanical jacks, such as screw and scissor jacks, use a threaded screw: each turn of the handle raises the load a small distance, and the thread holds it in place without further effort. Hydraulic jacks use oil under pressure: a small pump piston pushes oil into a much larger lifting piston, and because the same pressure acts over the larger area, the lifting force is many times the effort put in at the handle.

How Do Hydraulic Jacks Work?

A hydraulic jack creates pressure by moving oil through two cylinders via a pump plunger. The pump plunger is drawn back, which opens the suction valve and draws oil into the pump chamber. As the plunger is pushed down, the oil is transported through an external discharge valve and into the cylinder chamber. The suction valve then closes, resulting in pressure being built up within the chamber; causing the piston in the chamber to rise and lift your heavy object.

This process can be repeated many times, allowing your load to be lifted higher and higher.

Which hydraulic jack suits the job?

  • • Lifting a vehicle for servicing: a trolley jack or a bottle jack.
  • • Lifting machinery with almost no ground clearance: a toe jack, or a pad or low profile jack where the gap is tighter still.
  • • Heavy industrial lifting, pushing and pressing: a cylinder jack driven by a separate hand or electric pump.
  • • Pulling or tensioning through the load, such as wire ropes: a hollow (centre hole) jack.

Before choosing, match the jack's rated capacity and closed height to the load and the space underneath it. For a closer look at each type, see our guide to the different types of hydraulic jack.

About Our Hydraulic Equipment

Reliability is crucial when dealing with heavy loads, and we specialise in heavy-duty hydraulic equipment that can lift extremely heavy weights safely and reliably. Our hydraulic jacks are capable of lifting up to 200 tonnes in some cases - please check the maximum weight capacity of your chosen product before completing your purchase.

We offer many different types of jack, including cylinder jacks, bottle jacks, toe jacks, trolley jacks, and more. We also supply all the necessary fittings and connectors for the jacks we sell, along with additional items such as nut splitters and pipe benders.

Here at Safety Liftin Gear, we strive to provide a comprehensive range of heavy lifting solutions. If our wide collection of hydraulic jacks does not meet your needs, please don't hesitate to get in touch - we'll be more than happy to discuss a bespoke solution for you.
