Hydraulic Bottle Jack: Compact Powerhouse for Heavy Lifting
A hydraulic bottle jack is a robust, portable lifting device distinguished by its compact, cylindrical "bottle-like" shape. It operates on hydraulic principles to generate immense lifting force with minimal manual effort, making it ideal for elevating heavy loads in confined spaces.
Working Principle:
Manual pumping forces hydraulic oil from a reservoir into a pump cylinder.
Oil pressure drives a vertical ram (piston) upward, lifting the load.
A release valve allows controlled descent.
Load Capacity:
Ranges from 2 tons (4,000 lbs) to 100+ tons (200,000+ lbs), catering to industrial-grade tasks.
Compact Design:
Vertical orientation minimizes footprint.
Low starting height (e.g., 6–8 inches) fits under low-clearance machinery.
Durability:
Forged steel construction withstands extreme stress.
Sealed systems prevent oil leaks and contamination.
Safety:
Integrated overload valves prevent over-pressurization.
Wide base ensures stability during lifts.
Automotive: Lifting trucks, buses, and heavy equipment.
Construction: Positioning steel beams or machinery.
Manufacturing & Warehousing: Maintenance of industrial presses, conveyors.
Agriculture: Repairing tractors and harvesters.
Mining/Energy: Supporting infrastructure in rugged environments.
✅ Higher lifting capacity per unit size vs. scissor/screw jacks.
✅ Smooth, controlled elevation compared to mechanical jacks.
✅ Minimal physical exertion required.
Regularly check hydraulic oil levels.
Store upright to prevent fluid leakage.
Inspect ram/piston for corrosion or damage.
Why Choose It? When space is limited, loads are massive, and precision matters—the hydraulic bottle jack delivers unmatched power-to-size efficiency for critical industrial lifting.
