FAQs
What is the maximum lifting height?
The maximum lifting height is 500mm.
What is the minimum lifting height?

How much weight can this jack lift?
This jack has a maximum lifting capacity of 5 tonnes (5000 kg).
What does ENP on the ram piston mean?
ENP stands for Electroless Nickel Plating. This coating prevents rust and ensures a smooth, durable surface for the piston.
How do I prevent oil leaks?
Ensure the jack is used on a level surface and not overloaded. Periodically inspect the double seals in the pump and the ram seals for wear and tear. Proper maintenance and storage also help prevent leaks.
What is the stroke length of the jack?
The jack has an extra-long stroke of 275mm.
Is there an overload protection feature?

What is the warranty period?
Please refer to the manufacturer's documentation or the retailer for specific warranty information, as it is not provided in the product details.
Troubleshooting
Jack does not lift the load
Ensure the release valve is fully closed. Check the hydraulic oil level and top up if necessary. Verify the load does not exceed the 5-tonne capacity.
Jack lowers slowly or leaks oil
Inspect the pump seals and ram seals for damage or wear. Tighten any loose fittings. If leakage persists, the seals may need replacement.
Pump handle is stiff or difficult to operate
Check for any obstructions. Ensure the release valve is fully open when lowering. The hydraulic fluid may need to be replaced if the jack has been stored for a long time or shows signs of contamination.
Jack makes unusual noises during operation
This could indicate air in the hydraulic system. Slightly open the release valve to bleed out any air, then re-close and test. Ensure the jack is on a stable surface.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- High lifting capacity for demanding tasks.
- Extended stroke reduces effort and time for lifting.
- Durable construction with rust-resistant components.
- Built-in safety features for user protection.
- Smooth operation due to precision engineering.
Cons
- Heavyweight (16.47 lbs) may affect portability for some users.
- Requires a stable, level surface for safe operation.
- Potential for oil leaks if seals are compromised over time.
- Minimum height might be too high for very low-profile vehicles.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure the jack is placed on a firm, level surface. Position the jack directly under the designated lift point of the vehicle or equipment. For operation, locate the release valve (typically a screw on the base) and close it by turning clockwise. Operate the pump handle up and down to raise the load. To lower, slowly open the release valve counter-clockwise.
Compatibility: This jack is suitable for lifting vehicles and machinery within its 5-tonne (5000 kg) capacity. Always consult your vehicle's manual for the correct jacking points.
Care: After each use, wipe the jack clean with a dry cloth. Store in a dry environment. Periodically check the oil level and inspect seals for any signs of wear or leakage. Ensure the release valve operates smoothly. Avoid exceeding the maximum weight capacity.
