Whether you need to lift a classic car or a 60-ton truck or even a bus, to work both quickly and safely, you need to have the right equipment. Here is the 6-step guide to make the right choice on how to choose the right Air hydraulic jacks
To know the required lifting capacity, check the weight of the vehicles you are working on.
On the market, you will find different air jack types with different capacities:
The free working space below vehicles is getting smaller every day making important to be sure that your hydraulic jack fit the height requirement . This is why you can now find more compact air hydraulic jacks, also called “low profile", that can fit into the smallest of areas.
Some other hydraulic jacks will come with extensions, enabling you to extend the maximum height for specific applications.
Before buying your equipment, ensure that your airline set up will cover the requirements. This information is provided by the manufacturer, you can find it in the operator manual or in the technical specification sheets.
| Air Hydraulic Jack Model | Air Pressure Required |
| 30, 50, 80 Tons models | 116-174 PSI / 8 - 12 bars |
| 100 tons model | 130 - 174 PSI / 9 - 12 bars |
Quality and durability are not just here for fun. It is to ensure your safety and to enable you to do the job when you need to. In America and Europe, the main certifications are the CE and ASME certifications. Some independent organisms, such as TUV, also exist. Make sure your hydraulic jack is certified by one of them.
