Enerpac GBJ050A hydraulic steel bottle jack is designed for lifting heavy machinery & equipment for maintenance or repair work, raising vehicles for tire changes or undercarriage inspections, supporting structural components during construction or installation and assisting in positioning or aligning heavy loads.
Working Mechanism:
- When the user pulls the handle upward, hydraulic fluid is drawn from the reservoir into a small piston chamber.
- As the user pushes down the handle, the hydraulic fluid is transferred from the small piston chamber to the main cylinder, which contains a larger piston.
- This repeated up-and-down motion of the handle causes the hydraulic fluid to be pumped into the cylinder, increasing its pressure.
- The increased pressure forces the piston in the cylinder to move upward and remain in a stationary position, thereby lifting the load.
- To lower the jack, the user needs to turn the release valve slowly. This allows the hydraulic fluid to flow back from the cylinder to the reservoir, gradually reducing the pressure and lowering the load.
Features:
- Enerpac GBJ050A hydraulic jack features steel construction for structural rigidity and long service life.
- This Class 50 Enerpac hydraulic jack has a built-in pressure relief valve to ensure overload protection.
- It has a lower handle effort for reducing operator fatigue while operating.
- This bottle jack has a bypass port for preventing the risk of over-extension.
- It is equipped with a removable telescopic handle for ease of storage.
- This Enerpac hydraulic jack can withstand loads up to 55 tons.
- Customers looking for lower load capacity varaints can opt for Enerpac GBJ008A, GBJ005A and GBJ030A hydraulic jacks having current ratings of 8, 5 and 33 tons, respectively.
