Hydraulic pit jacks or heavy-duty pit jacks are tools for lifting vehicles off the ground. Along with floor jacks, and other types of truck jacks like bridge jacks, rolling jacks, etc., heavy-duty pit jacks are useful for the full course of lifting, suspending and lowering vehicles for the purpose of servicing and maintenance.
These heavy-duty truck jacks come in a variety of operating mechanisms, like hydraulics, mechanical, electrical, digitized, air motorized, hybrid, among others. These innovative power options will allow you to choose the best fit for your tailored requirements. Cutting-edge technology along with usable and functional design is shaping the automotive landscape today.
There are several reasons why this is so. For starters, customers are demanding more efficiency and effectiveness over any other features that traditional jack manufacturers had been offering for long. Affordable entry price points and safety measures along with enhanced durability are only head starts today.
For the full heavy-duty truck maintenance experience, pit jacks are needed that can save the time and energy of the people using them, and for industry, the companies employing the personnel wielding them. Commercial garages are no longer ready to lose hours over cumbersome lifting, and the risks attached to it.
Hydraulic Pit Jacks and Their Importance for Heavy-Duty Truck Maintenance
Fluid mechanics, or Pascal’s principle, is the foundation for hydraulic pit jack operation. According to the law, any part of a fluid that is pushed or squeezed will also affect the other parts of the fluid.
In essence, it indicates that any pressure change that occurs at any point in a confined, incompressible fluid is transmitted throughout the entire fluid without experiencing any loss. Consequently, the motion that is transferred through a fluid medium inside the machine’s cogs is what makes hydraulic pit jacks‘ function.
The following general components of a hydraulic system of operation—hydraulic oil, reservoir, buffer, or oil tank; main cylinder or ram; release valve, control valve, check valve; lifting arm or pad; hydraulic pump with piston or plunger; and pump lever or handle—will help us comprehend the basic operation of a hydraulic pit jack.
The actual part of the hydraulic pit jack that stores the hydraulic liquid or pump oil when not in use is called the reservoir, buffer, or oil tank. To stop an unintentional oil flow, the control valve remains closed when the hydraulic pit jack is not in use.
The heavy weight or load must be raised by the piston. Usually, the handle or pump lever attached to it can be moved to mechanically activate it. The fluid inside the hydraulic pit jacks’ buffer tank or reservoir experiences pressure buildup from this movement.
The hydraulic pit jacks’ adjacent compartment, which is the reservoir or buffer tank holding the fluid or pump oil, experiences a build-up of pressure when the handle or lever of the pump with piston or plunger is mechanically lowered or raised.
The hydraulic pit jack’s main cylinder, or ram, emerges from the main body with the force needed to lift the load thanks to the pressure that was created and allowed to pass through a check valve.
The oil is transferred from the pump through the check valve and into the main cylinder, or the ram, which emerges from the hydraulic pit jack body, by means of this applied pressure. Ultimately, the release valve generates the necessary lifting force and raises the load by releasing the built-up pressure, allowing the ram to be easily retracted and lowered while carrying a load.
