About Hydraulic Aluminium Jack – Yale AJS & AJH

The AJS lower capacity models (6.5t & 10t) can be used in any orientation – even upside down, thanks to the spring return piston & stop ring. The AJH models of 20 ton and above can only be used vertically or horizontally. All jacks incorporate an overload protection valve for optimum safety.

Being made from a high tensile aluminium alloy these hydraulic jacks are relatively low in weight, equating to around 1.8 ton of lifting capacity to 1kg of product weight.

Handle strokes range between 75 and 305 depending on the model. Mechanical stroke limiters are in place on all models over 20 ton.

The lifting saddle is made from hardened alloy steel and all jacks incorporate a sensitive, lever operated lowering valve for controlled load descent.

Yale AJS & AJH Aluminium Jack Capacity Range

The AJS and AJH hydraulic aluminium jack series offers a great range of lifting capacities to suit many requirement. Starting at 6.5-ton, perfect for workshop tasks, and extending to capacities up to 100 tons for heavy-duty industrial applications. This extensive range ensures that whether you’re lifting automotive components or heavy machinery, there’s a model perfectly matched to your needs.

Aluminium Jack with Lifting Claw Option

Choosing the model with the additional lifting claw will give you the advantage of lifting from a lower height on the toe of the claw. However the rated capacity will need to be reduced by 40%. The base plate is longer on these models for more stability and protection to the claws toe.

Jack with Safety Lock Nut

Another option with these jacks are the addition of a safety lock nut, which are available on models from 20 ton and up. The benefit of the lock nut enables the jack to be used as a mechanical support, without the hydraulic system engaged. Once raised into position the lock nut can be engaged and then the hydraulic system totally released. (cannot be used with the claw).
