Pneumatic Power Handles the Toughest Lifting Jobs

The 10-ton capacity at 200 PSI puts virtually no lifting challenge beyond reach. This pneumatic powerhouse handles large trucks, buses, industrial equipment, heavy construction machinery, and agricultural vehicles that would be impossible to lift safely with manual equipment. The air-operated system eliminates the physical strain and fatigue associated with manual pumping, allowing operators to focus on positioning and safety rather than exhausting themselves with repetitive pumping motions.

The three-way air valve system provides unprecedented control over lifting and lowering operations. Fine adjustments become effortless, allowing precise positioning that’s crucial when working with expensive heavy equipment. This level of control significantly improves safety and reduces the risk of vehicle damage during lifting and lowering procedures.

Adjustable Steel Saddles for Maximum Versatility

The robust 4″ x 6″ steel saddles adjust between 36″ and 50″ widths to accommodate various vehicle configurations and lifting points. This adjustability ensures optimal weight distribution across the lifting surface, preventing concentrated stress points that could damage vehicle frames or lifting equipment. The reversible saddle arms provide additional flexibility for low-height applications, expanding the range of vehicles and equipment this jack can handle effectively.

Advanced Safety Features Protect Equipment and Operators

Automatic mechanical safety locks engage at five different lift heights ranging from 17-1/2″ to 50″, providing redundant protection against accidental lowering. These locks operate independently of air pressure, ensuring vehicles remain securely supported even during air system maintenance or unexpected pressure loss. This mechanical backup system demonstrates AFF’s commitment to operator safety and equipment protection.

The extra-wide stance design enhances stability during lifting operations, particularly important when handling the entire front or rear end of heavy vehicles. This stability reduces the risk of equipment tipping or shifting during service operations, protecting both the vehicle being serviced and surrounding shop equipment.

Professional Mobility and Maneuverability

Front swivel casters combined with pneumatic rear tires provide excellent maneuverability around the shop floor. Despite its substantial 750-pound weight and robust construction, the jack moves smoothly to different work areas, allowing efficient workflow management in busy service environments. The pneumatic rear tires roll easily over shop debris, cords, and uneven surfaces that might impede solid wheels.

The 13-inch forward reach from cylinder to saddles provides excellent access to vehicle lifting points while maintaining operator clearance from the equipment being lifted. This reach distance accommodates most truck and bus configurations without requiring repositioning during lifting operations.

Dual Air Control System

Two air control valve fittings enhance operational flexibility and safety. The primary fitting connects to shop air supply for normal operations, while the secondary Schrader valve fitting allows manual air addition or bleeding when fine adjustments are needed or when shop air isn’t available. This dual system ensures operational capability under various shop conditions.

Built by Industry Veterans with Nationwide Support

American Forge & Foundry’s six-decade history since 1963 demonstrates their commitment to quality and customer support. The company maintains over 300 service centers nationwide, ensuring replacement parts availability and technical support wherever your operations take you.

AFF’s commitment to parts availability protects your investment and ensures long-term operational capability, making this jack a true long-term asset rather than a temporary solution.

Professional-Grade Construction

Every component reflects heavy-duty construction designed for commercial service environments. The steel saddles, robust hydraulic cylinder, and reinforced frame construction withstand the punishment that comes with daily use on heavy equipment. This isn’t consumer-grade equipment – it’s built for professionals who depend on their tools every day.
