Frequently Asked Questions
Question: What kinds of vehicles can I raise on my Rolling Bridge Jack?
Answer: A wide range of vehicles. There are multiple Rolling Bridge Jack models, each supporting
different weight capacities, so a wide range of vehicles can be raised.
Q: If a vehicle is already on a Lift, why do I need a Rolling Bridge Jack?
A: A Rolling Bridge Jack gives you the option of raising two or four wheels of the vehicle off the
Runway of the Lift, which makes certain automotive services (brake jobs, suspension work, tire
changes, and so on) much easier. To get
four wheels
off the Runway, you need
two Rolling
Bridge Jacks
.
Q: What Rolling Bridge Jack goes with what BendPak Lift?
A: Rolling Bridge Jack
are associated with specific BendPak lifts, based on their weight
capacities. So if you have a BendPak HD-14 Lift, for example, which has a capacity of 14,000 lbs, you
would need two
Rolling Lift Jacks.
Q: Can I use a Rolling Bridge Jack on an Alignment Lift?
A: Yes. They work the same on an Alignment Lift.
Q: Are Rolling Bridge Jacks heavy?
A: Yes. You need a shop crane or forklift to put them into position and you must not stand or walk
under them. Your Rolling Bridge Jack was designed to stay in place, but you should always use
extreme care when walking around under Lifts, raised vehicles, and Rolling Bridge Jacks.
Q: Why are the bases of a Rolling Bridge Jack extendable?
A: To accommodate different widths between Runways on the four-post Lift. Note that the bases for
the RBJ18000 and the RBJ25000 are
not
extendable.
Q: How is a Rolling Bridge Jack powered?
A: Via air pressure (that you supply) that connects to the Air-Operated Hydraulic Pump. The optional
AK-14 Integrated Rolling Bridge Air Line Kit makes this easy; visit the website page for more
information.
Q: How many Safety Lock positions does my Rolling Bridge jack have?
A: Three. This gives you three heights to which you can raise and hold your Rolling Bridge Jack.
Q: How long can I leave a vehicle raised on my Rolling Bridge Jack?
A: For quite some time, as long as long as you leave it on a Safety Lock. Once a Safety Lock is
engaged, gravity holds the vehicle up, so a loss of air pressure has no effect; your vehicle is going to
stay where you left it.
Always leave your Rolling Bridge Jack either fully lowered or on a
Safety Lock.
