Hydraulic cylinder low-height jacks with a plain ram are specialized jacks designed to operate effectively in environments with minimal clearance. These jacks are ideal for lifting heavy loads when there isn’t enough space for a traditional jack. They have a low-profile design and utilize a plain ram (non-threaded) to provide lifting capability without fine adjustments.
Specifications for Hydraulic Cylinder Low-Height Jacks with Plain Ram1. General Specifications
- Model: [Specific Model Name]
- Manufacturer: [Manufacturer Name]
- Type: Low-Height Hydraulic Cylinder Jack with Plain Ram
2. Lifting Capacity
- Maximum Load Capacity:
- Range: Typically from 2 tons (4,000 lbs) to 20 tons (40,000 lbs) depending on the model.
- Units: Tons or pounds (lbs).
3. Dimensions
- Minimum Height:
- Range: 2 inches (51 mm) to 6 inches (152 mm). This is the lowest height the jack can achieve, allowing it to fit under very low-clearance vehicles or equipment.
- Maximum Height:
- Range: 8 inches (203 mm) to 15 inches (381 mm). This indicates how high the jack can lift a load.
- Diameter of Base:
- Range: 6 inches (152 mm) to 12 inches (305 mm). A larger diameter base provides stability during lifting.
4. Weight
- Net Weight:
- Range: 30 lbs (14 kg) to 70 lbs (32 kg). Heavier models are typically designed for higher capacities.
- Shipping Weight: Slightly higher due to packaging.
5. Construction
- Material:
- Primary Material: High-strength steel or aluminum alloy to ensure durability and load-bearing capability.
- Finish:
- Type: Powder-coated or corrosion-resistant finish to prevent rust and wear.
6. Hydraulic System
- Hydraulic Fluid Capacity:
- Range: 0.3 gallons (1.1 liters) to 0.6 gallons (2.3 liters). The fluid capacity impacts the jack's lifting efficiency.
- Pump Mechanism:
- Type: Manual hand pump or optional powered pump (electric or pneumatic) for easier operation.
- Hydraulic Fluid Type:
- Common Fluids: Mineral oils or other hydraulic fluids as specified by the manufacturer.
7. Plain Ram Features
- Ram Type:
- Design: Plain ram, which provides vertical lifting without fine adjustment threads.
- Material:
- Construction: Made from hardened steel or alloy for strength and durability.
8. Safety Features
- Relief Valve:
- Purpose: Prevents overloading by releasing excess pressure to protect the hydraulic system.
- Safety Lock:
- Feature: Some models include a safety lock to secure the jack at the desired height.
9. Handle and Operation
- Handle Length:
- Range: 24 inches (610 mm) to 30 inches (762 mm). Provides leverage for ease of use.
- Material:
- Construction: Steel or reinforced composite for strength.
10. Portability
- Casters/Wheels:
- Option: Some models come with wheels or casters for easier mobility, especially useful in workshops.
- Carrying Handle:
- Feature: Integrated handle for easier transport.
