American Forge & Foundry 20-Ton Air/Hydraulic Long-Chassis Jack (3225)

The American Forge & Foundry 20-Ton Air/Hydraulic Long-Chassis Jack (3225) is engineered for demanding professional environments, providing a robust solution for lifting heavy trucks, buses, and other large vehicles. Its substantial 20-ton lifting capacity combined with a super-long chassis ensures you can safely and efficiently access difficult-to-reach load points, even on vehicles with long overhangs. Built with a heavy-gauge steel frame and robust welds, this jack is designed for maximum strength and exceptional durability, standing up to the rigors of continuous daily use in busy shops and industrial settings. The dual air/hydraulic operation system offers the best of both worlds: rapid lifting via the high-speed air motor for efficiency, and precise manual control when air pressure isn't available or fine adjustments are needed. Every component, from the heavy-duty pumps to the precision-machined rams and cylinders, is thoroughly inspected to guarantee long service life and consistent, superior performance. With built-in safety features like automatic overload valves and a versatile control lever, the Model 3225 prioritizes user safety and operational reliability for all your heavy lifting needs.

KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS:

• 20-Ton Lifting Capacity: Safely lifts vehicles and equipment weighing up to 40,000 lbs, accommodating a wide range of heavy-duty applications.
• Extended 66-inch Chassis: Provides exceptional reach to access lift points on long-wheelbase vehicles, including trucks and buses, improving operational flexibility.
• Air/Hydraulic Dual Operation: Offers the convenience of a high-speed air motor for quick lifts and the reliability of a foot-operated manual pump for precise control or when air power is unavailable.
• Precision-Machined Components: Heavy-duty pumps, rams, and cylinders are engineered for accuracy, ensuring long service life and consistent, dependable performance.
• Controlled Lowering: A handle-actuated release valve allows for metered control over the lowering speed, providing safe and smooth descent of loads.
• Enhanced Stability: Constructed with a heavy-gauge steel frame and robust welds, this jack offers maximum strength and stability during lifting operations, reducing risk.
• Overload Safety Valves: Integrated automatic overload safety valves prevent lifting beyond the jack's rated capacity, protecting both the equipment and the operator.
• Versatile Handle Control: The handle-mounted locking control lever features three positions, offering better versatility for under-car positioning and overall ease of use.

HOW TO USE:

1. Preparation: Ensure the vehicle is on a hard, level surface and properly chocked to prevent movement. Verify that the jack's wheels are free to roll.
2. Positioning: Roll the jack under the vehicle, using its long chassis to reach the designated lifting point. Adjust the handle's locking control lever to the most suitable position for access and maneuvering.
3. Connecting Air (if applicable): If using air-assisted operation, connect an air hose from a compressor to the jack's air inlet. Ensure your air compressor can provide between 101-145 PSI.
4. Lifting the Load:
   • Air Operation: Activate the air motor to begin rapidly lifting the vehicle.
   • Manual Operation: If using the foot-operated pump, press down repeatedly with your foot on the pump pedal to raise the jack.
5. Secure the Load: Once the vehicle reaches the desired height, immediately place appropriate jack stands under the vehicle's designated support points for safety. The jack is designed for lifting, not for prolonged support.
6. Lowering the Load: With the load supported by jack stands, slowly open the handle-actuated release valve. This will allow the jack to lower in a controlled, metered fashion.
7. Removal: Once the jack is fully lowered, roll it out from under the vehicle.
