Avoiding Common Mistakes When Operating Heavy Duty Jacks

Avoiding Common Mistakes When Operating Heavy Duty Jacks
Avoiding Common Mistakes When Operating Heavy Duty Jacks

Truck lifting equipment like hydraulic floor jacks or bridge jacks have been around for centuries now. Traditional jacks have generally been difficult to maintain and operate, due to cumbersome heavy-duty jack operation guidelines and proneness to malfunction. 

Innovations in safe vehicle lifting practices along with advancements in jack technology have resulted in modern jacks, like Scorpion floor jacks, with features for avoiding jack operation errors. 

However, unless you own Stan Design Inc. products like the StanJack or Scorpion lines of jacks, you would need to know some of the common jack operation errors and how to avoid them. In this blog, we discuss just that! Read on. 

Common Jack Operation Errors 

  • Skipping Safety Measures – Your jack requires regular inspection. Safety checks can range from as simple as seeing whether you have cleaned your jack after use and stored it upright in a clean and dry place, to more sophisticated ones like having a checklist to determine its fluid viscosity, etc. 
  • Not Sticking to Load Capacity – The load capacity of a jack refers to the limit of quantity that it is designed to lift. Overloading a jack is not only detrimental to its durability but also dangerous for the personnel using it, along with the vehicle being lifted. 
  • Not Removing Obstacles Before Lowering – A most common and easily resolvable issue while operating jacks is not clearing the ground before lowering the vehicle it has hoisted. 
  • Lifting or Lowering Too Quickly – Another safe vehicle lifting practice involves hoisting and lowering it slowly and steadily, making sure the vehicle remains stable. Remove the jack once the vehicle is fully on the ground. Check that the vehicle is rising evenly and not shifting. 
  • Not Checking the Surface or Contact Points – Positioning a jack incorrectly below the vehicle, that is, not in the correct jacking point, and lifting vehicles on a slippery or uneven surface is a recipe for disaster. 

5 Heavy-duty Jack Operation Guidelines 

  1. Use the Right Jack for the Task – Determine its purpose of use before choosing the type to work with. For instance, a hydraulic floor jack is ideal for home garage work, while a bridge jack is better for heavy-duty lifting. 
  2. Focus on Accurate Positioning – As discussed above, ensure that the lifting point on the load is directly above the center of the jack’s saddle, and it is connected to the jacking point before lifting. 
  3. Avoid Overloading the Jack – Check the maximum weight capacity, or load capacity, of the jack and stick within the permissible limits to avoid overloading the jack and causing accidents. 
  4. Follow Jack Maintenance Tips – Check for any signs of damage or wear and tear and ensure all bolts are tightened securely, along with regular lubrication of the system, handle, base plate, and wheels of the jack. 
  5. Adhere to Proper Jack Usage – Always use proper personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves and safety glasses when operating a jack. Follow all safety guidelines provided by the manufacturer of your jack.

Our Scorpion floor jacks are built with the finest quality materials, to be durable, safe and reliable in all seasons, making them the best jack for sale in North America.

What is the Scorpion Floor Jack and How Does it Work?

A floor jack is a tool used to lift heavy loads like automobiles and machinery equipment and suspend them at a particular height in air to work on repairing their parts, maintaining and servicing them. Jacks can be of many types, depending on the purpose they fulfill, like rolling jacks, bridge jacks, or floor jacks.

These jacks mainly have two different types of mechanisms of operation- either hydraulic or mechanical. Scorpion floor jacks by Stan Design Inc. operate based on heavy-duty hydraulics or air motors which eliminates the need for cumbersome and exhausting mechanical hand pumping to lift loads, ensuring safety of the vehicle as well as the lifting professionals.

The hydraulic system used in floor jacks has a simple to understand working process that offers powerful and smooth lifting without hand pumping. Hydraulic systems consist of the following broad components– hydraulic oil, reservoir or 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 a pump lever or handle.

The reservoir or buffer or oil tank is the physical compartment of the floor jack that holds the hydraulic liquid or pump oil together when it is not in use along with the control valve which stays in a closed position to prevent the accidental flow of oil.

When the handle or lever of the hydraulic pump with piston or plunger is mechanically lowered or raised, it activates force and builds up pressure in the adjoining compartment, i.e., the reservoir or buffer tank containing the hydraulic fluid or pump’s oil.

This applied pressure transfers the oil from the pump through a check valve and into the main cylinder or the ram, which extends out of the hydraulic jack body creating the required lifting force and lifting the load.

Whether it is a rolling bridge jack or a floor jack, they aid customers by lifting and transporting heavy weights, industrial loads, cars, vehicles and machinery equipment for clamping, etc. in varying industries, like:

  • Aircraft
  • Automotive
  • Bridges
  • Cable tensioning

Top Reasons That Make Scorpion Floor Jacks a Great Tool For Truck Owners

Why Truck Owners Prefer Scorpion Floor Jacks
Scorpion Floor Jacks: Reliable Tools for Trucks

Hydraulic jacks are an essential tool in any garage owner’s arsenal. For the best buy, the Stan Design Scorpion floor jack inevitably stands out. Where conventional truck jacks wear out easily, this jack lifts high and heavy with ease, safety and speed.

Hydraulic floor jacks are mechanical devices used to lift heavy loads and forces like trucks, sports utility vehicles, or other types of cars, among other heavyweight items. The reason why the Stan Design hydraulic system Scorpion floor jack makes a great tool for truck owners is the agility it offers.

Its components work in accordance with Pascal’s law to produce applications in a range of fields beyond the automotive industry. But for the sake of this blog, we will only explore its mechanism in lifting heavy trucks and buses off the ground for repairs and maintenance.

Like other hydraulic auto jacks, the anatomy of the Stan Design Scorpion floor jack can be broken down into these main parts, namely:

  • Reservoir or buffer tank
  • Pump with piston or plunger
  • Pump lever or handle
  • Check valve
  • Main cylinder or ram
  • Release valve
  • Handle

The reservoir or buffer tank is the physical compartment of the floor jack which holds the hydraulic fluid or pump oil. When the handle or lever of the pump with piston or plunger is mechanically lowered or raised, it builds up pressure in the adjoining compartment, i.e., the reservoir or buffer tank containing the hydraulic fluid or pump’s oil. This applied pressure is transferred from the pump through a check valve and into the main cylinder or the ram, which extends out of the hydraulic jack body creating the required lifting force and lifting the load.

Why Choose the Scorpion floor jack?

As famously quoted by Benjamin Franklin in George Fisher’s book, “Time is money” indeed! And the more time you spend in non-revenue generating tasks, like fixing your auto jack instead of lifting with it, the more you lose out on money!

Pros and Cons of hydraulic floor jacks 

Hydraulic jacks are mainly of two types: bottle jacks and floor jacks. The latter are popular because of the enormous benefits they offer their users, especially to do it yourself (DIY) automotive garage enthusiasts. Unlike bottle jacks which operate vertically, floor jacks operate horizontally, therefore, providing a greater range of vertical lift than bottle jacks. Below are their benefits in various applications.

  • Most floor jack designs occupy less space and are lighter than other types of jacks like screw jacks, ratchet jacks, scissor jacks, leveling jacks, etc. This makes them portable enough to carry around.
  • Less likely to jam due to rust in the screw thread as unlike mechanical jacks which work by using them, these jacks use hydraulic power to work.
  • Highly effective with heavy loads as they are built to lift heavier loads compared to bottle jacks or trolley jacks, which do not have the lift range or weight capacity of floor jacks.
  • It is easier to use as its working mechanism is simple, making it a convenient choice for a range of clientele, especially do it yourselfers (DIYers).
  • Loads are lifted with minimum effort as hydraulic mechanisms make it easier to lift heavy and high using scientific laws as opposed to tiresome mechanical effort.

Despite the good advantages of hydraulic floor jacks, some limitations still occur. Below are the disadvantages of hydraulic floor jacks in their various applications.

  • It has a relatively low speed, as compared to other jacks which however may either take up more space or be heavier and more cumbersome to use.
  • Susceptible to failure if oil seals are worn out as hydraulic floor jacks use hydraulic fluid pressure to lift heavy loads, which if leaked can cause soil and water pollution.
  • The device can emit an unpleasant odor due to the overuse of warm oil so regular checks and maintenance of the pump oil or hydraulic fluid becomes mandatory.
  • Overheating can quickly occur, making taking care of the floor jack an added trouble in today’s fleeting age.
  • It is considerably valued at higher price points than other jacks because of the features like convenience of use, portability, lift range and weight capacity it offers.

  • Reservoir or buffer tank
  • Pump with piston or plunger
  • Pump lever or handle
  • Check valve
  • Main cylinder or ram
  • Release valve
  • Handle

The piston is responsible for lifting the heavy load or weight. It is usually mechanically activated by shifting the positions of the handle or pump lever attached to it. This movement builds up pressure in the hydraulic fluid contained inside the reservoir or buffer tank. The pressure created allows the fluid to move through a check valve into the ram or main cylinder, which then pops out of the main body of the hydraulic jack creating the force required to lift the load. Finally, the release valve relieves the built pressure for easy retraction and lowering of the ram with the load on it.
