Why use a JAK10 compact jack?

Make the JAK10 your own personal compact 10 tonne jack. They are an essential tool for  machine moving and on railroads, shipyards and other sites. Use a JAK10 for lots of jobs requiring jacking, aligning and clamping jobs. The JAK10 is unbeatable.

Is the JAK10 a 10 ton US jack?

10 metric Metric tonnes is 11 US tons. 10 tonnes metric is 9.84 imperial tons and 98.1kN force.

Is a compact integral jack better than a separate pump, cylinder and hose?

Read our buyers guide on hydraulic jacks. It depends on the job you are doing today and the other applications you have for the kit.

You could use a 10 tonne 700 bar cylinder, hand pump unit and hose. That doesn’t always work well as a compact tool for single person use. Simply push the JAK10 under the job, pump the handle to do the lifting work then release the pressure to lower the load using the high quality release valve. Pull the jack out of the way. Lifting is done keeping hands well away from the job We would say there is a place for both options, to suit your exact job. Just ensure that you use the right tools for the job and don’t compromise.

Why buy a JAK10?

British manufacture still means quality. The JALK10 is rugged and if it does need service or repair, we can sell you spares at a modest cost. The unit can be used in any position due to its sealed hydraulic system. Rugged steel construction and an integral safety overload valve provided peace of mind. There is a two year guarantee.

What if I need a pressure gauge?

If it is purely and lifting or jacking job, the JAK10 provides up to 10 tonnes force with that limited using an internal relief valve. The relief valve limits the pressure that you can generate using the hand pump. Some applications need you to control the force being exerted. We can offer a 63mm pressure gauge calibrated in tonnes. The gauge dial is reading the direct force based on being calibrated for the area of the JAK10 piston rod.

Is the unit suitable for pressures lower than 10 tonnes?

After decades of people using our Sarum Hydraulics compact 10 tonne jacks, we have seen a range of applications right down to people lifting minimal loads. There is no real minimum. The pump section has a precise operation.

What other applications could this Jack be used in?

Although jacking often equates to lifting, these units have a very wide application. We have seen them widely used for work holding and alignment during production processes. Using a hydraulic jack and whatever fixturing allows it to be used properly simply puts you in total control. You can move components by small amounts and the precision release valve will give you accuracy. Users find this beneficial over levers and mechanical adjustment. Testing is another big area for the compact JAK10. With the right fixturing or frame, you can configure your own test equipment for the exact task. If you need to mount a 10 tonne hydraulic jack into a fixture or frame, the MV10 hydraulic jack may be worth considering. There you have the industry standard external 2.250-14UNS male thread on the outside of the cylinder body to provide a mounting.

Are hydraulic jacks safe?

Yes, hydraulic jacks are safe provided you use them properly. The JAK10 is supplied with instructions and certification. Do follow the basics for all hydraulic jacks. Consider training operatives. Use the saddle that we supply fitted to the top of the piston rod. Do not use offset loads. Risk assess what is going to happen when you lift your load. Anything that moves horizontally when it lifts or becomes unstable in another direction is dangerous. Never statically load a JAK10 up with more than 10 tonnes and do not try to adjust the relief valve to achieve more than its rated load. There is skill in using a hydraulic jack. Safety comes first. Never work under anything that is only supported on a jack or a single support. That is simply dangerous to life.
