FAQs

What is the maximum lifting capacity of this jack?

The Sealey 6001A has a maximum lifting capacity of 6 tonnes (6000 kg).

What is the lifting height range?

The minimum saddle height is 150mm, and the maximum lifting height is 650mm.

Can I use this jack for light passenger cars?

While it can lift lighter vehicles, its primary design and long reach are optimized for heavier plant, tractors, and commercial vehicles. For typical car maintenance, a lighter-duty jack might be more practical.

How does the 'Rocket Lift' feature work?

The Rocket Lift is a mechanism that rapidly brings the lifting arm into contact with the jacking point in just a few strokes, significantly speeding up the initial phase of lifting.

What maintenance is required for this jack?

Regular cleaning, checking hydraulic fluid levels, inspecting the rubber pad, and lubricating moving parts are essential. Refer to the product manual for detailed maintenance schedules.

The jack includes the main unit, a handle, and a protective rubber jack pad. An air hose connection is present, but the hose itself is not typically included.

What warranty comes with the Sealey 6001A?

This model comes with an extended 3-year guarantee.

Troubleshooting

Jack fails to lift or lifts very slowly.

Check air pressure if using air operation. Ensure the air coupling is secure. Verify hydraulic fluid level is adequate. Inspect for any visible leaks. If operating manually, ensure the pump mechanism is functioning correctly.

Jack lowers unintentionally.

Ensure the safety release valve is fully closed. Check for any obstructions preventing the valve from sealing properly. Inspect seals for wear or damage. If the issue persists, do not use the jack and seek professional service.

Difficulty positioning the jack under the vehicle.

Utilize the long reach feature to maneuver the saddle closer to the jacking point. Ensure the path to the jacking point is clear of obstructions. The large diameter saddle aids in easier alignment.

Damage to vehicle underside.

Always ensure the rubber jack pad is correctly positioned between the jack saddle and the vehicle's jacking point. Use only manufacturer-approved jacking points on the vehicle.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the jack is placed on a firm, level surface capable of supporting the vehicle's weight.
  2. Connect an appropriate air hose (if using air operation) to the designated inlet. Ensure the air supply is clean and dry.
  3. Familiarize yourself with the handle controls for raising, lowering, and the safety release.

Care:

  • Keep the jack clean and free from dirt, grease, and debris, especially around the hydraulic ram and lifting mechanisms.
  • Periodically check the hydraulic fluid level and top up if necessary using appropriate jack oil.
  • Inspect the rubber saddle and jack pad for wear or damage before each use. Replace if compromised.
  • Lubricate moving parts as recommended in the manufacturer's manual.
  • Store the jack in a dry location, preferably with the ram fully retracted to protect it from corrosion.
