American Forge & Foundry 2-Ton Low Profile Floor Jack (200T)

Description

The American Forge & Foundry 2-Ton Low Profile Floor Jack (200T) is engineered to meet the rigorous demands of professional service technicians while also being perfectly suited for dedicated home mechanics. This heavy-duty hydraulic floor jack combines robust construction with precise functionality, making it an essential tool for lifting a wide range of vehicles, especially those with limited ground clearance. Its design focuses on efficiency, safety, and long-term reliability in demanding workshop environments.

KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS:

• Exceptional Low Clearance Access: With a remarkably low pickup height of just 2-3/4 inches, this jack easily slides under custom, lowered, or high-performance vehicles, addressing a common challenge in automotive service.
• Rapid Lifting Capability: The integrated twin hydraulic pump system significantly accelerates the lifting process, allowing you to elevate vehicles quickly without sacrificing control or stability.
• Precise Vehicle Lowering: Featuring advanced universal joint technology and a precision release valve, the jack enables a smooth, gradual, and highly controlled descent of the vehicle, enhancing safety during operation.
• Enhanced Vehicle Protection: A pinned steel saddle equipped with a protective rubber pad prevents scratches and damage to the vehicle’s undercarriage during lifting and lowering.
• Superior Durability: Constructed from heavy-gauge steel and treated with a tough UV powder-coated frame, this jack offers exceptional resistance to wear, corrosion, and the impacts of daily workshop use, extending its lifespan.
• Overload Protection: An integrated safety valve prevents the jack from being used beyond its rated 2-ton capacity, ensuring safe operation and protecting both the equipment and the user.

HOW TO USE:

1. Prepare the Vehicle: Ensure the vehicle is on a flat, stable surface. Engage the parking brake and place wheel chocks on the wheels that will remain on the ground.
2. Position the Jack: Locate a secure jacking point on the vehicle’s frame or designated lift point as specified in the vehicle’s owner’s manual. Slide the AFF 200T floor jack under the vehicle, ensuring the saddle is centered directly under the jacking point.
3. Lift the Vehicle: Close the release valve by turning the handle clockwise until it is tight. Begin pumping the handle to raise the saddle. Continue pumping until the vehicle is lifted to the desired height.
4. Place Jack Stands: Once the vehicle is lifted, immediately place appropriately rated jack stands under secure support points on the vehicle’s frame. Lower the vehicle slowly onto the jack stands by carefully turning the handle counter-clockwise to open the release valve.
5. Secure and Work: Ensure the vehicle is stable and fully supported by the jack stands before beginning any work. Do not rely solely on the floor jack for support.
6. Lower the Vehicle (After Work): When work is complete, lift the vehicle slightly off the jack stands using the floor jack. Remove the jack stands. Slowly lower the vehicle completely to the ground by gradually turning the handle counter-clockwise to release the pressure.
7. Remove the Jack: Once the vehicle is fully on the ground, carefully slide the AFF 200T floor jack from underneath.
