Installation and maintenance of industrial machinery: Many manufacturing plants and factories have heavy machinery that requires the use of a jack to move or maintain.
Moving containers and storage equipment: 12T and 20T bottle jacks are suitable for lifting large metal containers and storage equipment.
4. Off-road and 4x4 use
Off-road enthusiasts and professionals use bottle jacks to maintain and rescue their vehicles in difficult off-road conditions.
Off-road repairs: When a vehicle gets stuck in mud, sand, or snow, a bottle jack can help safely lift the car out of a difficult spot.
Off-road vehicle equipment: Used for lifting when installing larger tires, chassis kits, or other off-road modifications to a vehicle.
Rescue situations: A handy tool in wilderness conditions when a vehicle needs to be lifted out of an obstacle or repaired on site.
5. Railway and transportation sector
The maintenance and repair of heavy equipment, such as train carriages and other means of transport, requires efficient lifting equipment.
Maintenance of railcar axles and wheelsets: A hydraulic bottle jack is used to lift railcars during inspections and repairs.
Truck and trailer maintenance: The 20T model is ideal for lifting heavy equipment such as trucks and trailers.
Port logistics: Lifting large containers or transport platforms for installation and maintenance work.
6. Rescue and emergency situations
Bottle jacks are an essential part of rescue and emergency equipment.
Fire and rescue service use: Used at accident scenes to lift vehicles and heavy obstacles in rescue situations.

Hydraulic Bottle Jack User Manual
Preparation: Place the jack on a flat and stable surface. Place a support beam or wooden board under the jack for added stability.
Commissioning: Turn the release valve clockwise to close to ensure that the hydraulic system is working properly.
Lifting: Place the pump arm in place and pump it up and down until the jack reaches the desired height.
Supporting the load: Once the vehicle or object has been raised to the desired height, position the safety stands to support the load.
Lowering: Slowly turn the release valve counterclockwise to lower the jack in a controlled manner.
How to choose the right bottle jack
Choosing the right bottle jack depends on several factors:
Lifting capacity: Choose a jack with a capacity that exceeds the weight of the vehicle or load. For passenger cars, 2T-6T is often sufficient, while for heavier vehicles, 12T-20T is needed.
Lifting height: Check that the minimum and maximum height of the jack is suitable for your application.
Operating environment: For heavy industrial and professional use, it is recommended to choose a jack with a more robust structure.
Safety features: Built-in overload valve and strong construction are important for safety.
Portability: If the jack is moved frequently, the carrying handles on the 12T and 20T models can be a significant advantage.
Warnings
Never exceed the rated load of the jack.
Make sure the jack is placed on a flat and stable surface before use.
Do not work under a raised vehicle without support stands.
Avoid exposing the jack to extreme temperatures and contaminants.
Check the hydraulic oil level regularly and top up if necessary.
