Inflatable jack
Power Team’s Generation III inflatable jacks are designed for exceptional durability in maximum load-lifting situations. Constructed on neoprene rubber bonded to four plies of polyester fabric, the jacks are not affected by dirt, oil, gases and most chemicals. A canvas liner is permanently bonded to the jack’s interior for added strength. This liner also prevents blockage at the air inlet during deflation. Corners are reinforced with an extra layer of polyester. The stainless steel, air-inlet fitting is molded into the jack’s neck, adding strength and reducing the possibility of leaks. The jack’s outer surface features a special non-skid pattern to keep the jack in place during use. A centering mark assists accurate placement. The jacks are available in five models and are capable of lifting as much as 73 tons. They can be inflated with compressed air, inert gas or water. Contact: Pete Dixon, Power Team, 2121 W.
