Description

A massive, heavy-duty industrial hydraulic floor jack with an 80-ton (160,000 lb / 72,575 kg) lifting capacity. This is a high-capacity industrial lifting tool, not a standard automotive shop jack.

How It Works
It uses a high-volume, multi-stage hydraulic ram powered by a long pump handle. The jack rolls on heavy-duty wheels/rollers, allowing it to be positioned under enormous loads like industrial machinery, heavy construction equipment, or large structural components.

Key Design & Specs

Capacity: 80 Tons (160,000 lbs). Used for the heaviest industrial applications.

Construction: Extra-heavy steel frame, often with reinforced swivel casters and a large, reinforced lifting saddle (“pad”).

Lift Height: Typically has a substantial maximum lift range (often 24 inches/60 cm or more) to provide meaningful clearance.

Low Start Height: Still designed with a relatively low saddle to fit under heavy loads.

Hydraulic System: Large-bore ram, heavy-duty pump, and industrial-grade hydraulic fluid. Some models are air/hydraulic for easier pumping.

Primary Industrial Applications

Heavy Machinery Installation & Maintenance: Presses, generators, turbines, large molds.

Construction & Mining Equipment: Lifting sections of excavators, crushers, dozer tracks, or large vehicle axles/frames.

Industrial Plant Maintenance: Positioning heavy valves, motors, or structural steel.

Marine & Railroad: Supporting ship components or railcar assemblies.

Critical Safety & Operational Rules

Strictly Industrial Use Only: Not for standard vehicles. Requires a trained operator.

Ground Conditions Are Critical: Must be used on extremely solid, level, and clean floors (reinforced concrete or steel). Ground failure is a catastrophic risk.

Lift on Solid Structure: The load must be lifted from a structurally sound point capable of bearing the concentrated force. Use large, thick lifting plates or pads to distribute weight if needed.

Support the Load Immediately: NEVER work under a load supported only by any hydraulic jack, especially this one. Use 80T+ rated jack stands, cribbing, or permanent supports before entering the danger zone.

Inspect Thoroughly: Check for hydraulic leaks, structural cracks, and smooth operation before every use. Maintenance is critical.

Use a Spotter & Plan the Lift: Due to size and limited visibility, communication and a pre-planned lifting procedure are essential.

Pumping & Control: Pump slowly and evenly. Be aware of the jack’s large footprint and potential for slight shifting during the lift.

Bottom Line
An 80-ton trolley jack is a serious piece of industrial lifting equipment for the heaviest loads. Its use is defined by extreme capacity, strict site requirements, and non-negotiable safety protocols for supporting the load. It is a tool for trained professionals in industrial, construction, or heavy machinery environments.
