Product Information

Full details

The SIP 20 Ton Bottle Jack is a robust, heavy-duty lifting solution designed for professional mechanics, workshop technicians, and automotive enthusiasts who require reliable support for heavy vehicles and machinery. Its primary benefit is providing 20 tons of stable, controlled lifting power in a compact form factor, making it ideal for everything from passenger cars to large trailers. While its industrial strength is exceptional, users should note that due to its weight and high-capacity design, it is best suited for stationary workshop use rather than emergency roadside tire changes.

FAQs

Can I use this jack on its side?

No, this bottle jack is designed to operate only in a vertical (upright) position. Using it on its side will cause hydraulic fluid to leak and the pump to fail.

What maintenance does the hydraulic system require?

Periodically check the fluid level and ensure the release valve moves freely. Keep the exterior clean and free from rust.

Is the 60mm screw extension part of the total lifting range?

Yes, the 242mm to 470mm range includes the use of the screw extension for fine-tuning the starting height.

Do I need to secure the load with jack stands?

Yes, always transfer the load to certified jack stands before working underneath any vehicle or machinery.

Can I use this jack on asphalt?

It is recommended to use a thick steel plate or wood block under the base if the ground is soft or prone to indentation, such as asphalt or loose soil.

Troubleshooting

The jack does not reach its maximum height

Check the hydraulic oil level, as it may be low due to leakage or improper storage. Refill with high-quality hydraulic jack oil if necessary.

The load slowly descends after being lifted

Ensure the release valve is tightened securely. If the problem persists, dirt may be trapped in the valve, requiring professional servicing.

The handle feels 'spongy' when pumping

This indicates air in the hydraulic system. Open the release valve and pump the handle rapidly several times to purge the air, then close the valve.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High 20-ton weight capacity for heavy-duty applications
  • Compact design saves valuable workshop floor space
  • Sturdy cast iron base ensures maximum stability under load
  • Safety valve prevents hydraulic overloading
  • Serrated saddle design improves grip on contact surfaces

Cons

  • Heavier than lower-capacity jacks due to robust construction
  • Requires manual pumping effort
  • Not intended for low-profile vehicles with very low clearance

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setting up the SIP 20 Ton Bottle Jack involves ensuring the hydraulic valve is tightly closed by turning the release screw clockwise. Once the load is secured, always open the valve slowly by turning it counter-clockwise to lower the load in a controlled manner.

Compatibility: This jack is compatible with most vehicle and machinery chassis points that can withstand a concentrated 20-ton load. It is best used in conjunction with high-capacity jack stands.

Care Instructions:

  • Regularly inspect the hydraulic ram for signs of leakage.
  • Keep the serrated saddle free of oil and debris to ensure a secure grip.
  • Store the jack in an upright position in a dry environment to prevent air from entering the hydraulic system.
  • Occasionally wipe down the lifting rod with a clean, dry cloth to prevent abrasive grit from damaging the internal seals.
