  • Air/Hydraulic Jack – 22 Ton

    Posted by Archived on September 18, 2012 at 8:43 pm

    I just bought one of these and you can’t beat the price, 234.00 delivered UPS.

    They’re on e-bay here: Jack

    Tom, can you let me know what your going to do with that jack? The only time I seen one of those used was on my front end, the guy put in it in the middle of the front axle and up it went, I thought, he better not break my axle.

    When I’m home and in the shop, I have my bus on its stands and the air is out of all the bags and only use 2 ton bottle jacks to lift the each side of each axle.

    I really don’t want you to “One Up Me” 🙂

    Would this thing work like a trailer donkey (could you lift the tongue of the trailer and then wheel it around the shop)?

    It would really be a step up from what I am using now (a lot of elbow grease and grunting).

    Dale,

    When your old and drawing SS, you must find ways to eliminate rolling around on the floor or laying on a creeper with your coveralls getting caught in the wheels while trying to place and work a hydraulic jack. Your still a puppy, so you won’t need one of these for years.

    Now I can push a button to raise the front end when greasing, removing tires and cleaning/polishing the wheels without doing the gator on the concrete.

    TOM, What is “doing the gator” mean? slithering around on the floor? Are you hurt when this happens or under the influence of some medication or some sort of liquid refreshment? Gary

    Gary,

    Crawling on the floor is bad enough, but getting up, sheesh….
