The High Lift Transmission Jack is a specialized piece of equipment designed for the safe and efficient installation, removal, and transportation of automobile transmissions, transfer cases, and transaxles. Its robust construction and dual-stage operation (air and hydraulic) make it suitable for professional automotive repair environments.
The primary function of this jack is to assist technicians in handling heavy and often awkwardly shaped automotive components like transmissions. It achieves this through a two-stage lifting mechanism:
The jack's design emphasizes safety and precision. It includes a universal saddle that can be adjusted to accommodate various transmission shapes, and a restraint system (chains and chain hardware) to securely fasten the transmission to the adapter, preventing movement or tipping during lifting, lowering, or transport. The ability to adjust both raising and lowering speeds through metering valves is a critical safety feature, ensuring controlled movement of heavy loads.
The High Lift Transmission Jack is engineered for ease of use and adaptability within a workshop setting:
To ensure longevity, reliable performance, and continued safety, the High Lift Transmission Jack incorporates several design considerations for maintenance:
Overall, the High Lift Transmission Jack is a robust, versatile, and user-friendly tool, designed with both operational efficiency and safety at its core, supported by clear guidelines for proper use and maintenance.
