This lifting device combines pneumatic and hydraulic principles to raise heavy loads. It employs compressed air to power a hydraulic pump, which in turn generates the force needed to lift vehicles or equipment. A typical application includes automotive repair shops, where it facilitates undercarriage access for maintenance and inspections.
The value of this system lies in its efficiency and ease of use. Compared to purely manual jacks, the air-powered mechanism reduces operator effort and increases lifting speed. Historically, these types of jacks represent an advancement in lifting technology, improving both productivity and safety in professional settings by providing greater control and stability during lifting operations.
