SAFE LIFTING TECHNOLOGY FOR WORKSHOPS AND SERVICE CENTRES
A jack lifts vehicles in a controlled manner and creates the conditions for safe work on wheels, brakes or chassis. Without this technology, maintenance and repairs cannot be carried out properly. Whether in a private setting or in a professional workshop, the workshop jack ensures the necessary distance between the vehicle and the ground. We call it a WEBER-HEBER, but many people also know it as a car jack, especially from mobile use or as part of workshop equipment.
CAR JACK
DESIGN AND FUNCTION OF MODERN CAR JACKS
The design of a car jack follows a clear principle: load-bearing construction, controlled lifting mechanism and a stable support surface. A hydraulic jack uses an integrated pump to generate pressure in a closed system. This pressure moves the piston upwards and lifts the vehicle evenly. Mechanical variants work with spindles or lever arms. Clean power transmission and controlled lowering are always crucial.
1. OVERVIEW OF TYPES OF CAR JACKS – THE RIGHT SOLUTION FOR EVERY APPLICATION
The design and drive vary depending on the area of application. From occasional tyre changes to daily workshop use, a wide variety of solutions are available. At WEBER-HYDRAULIK, we have the right solution for every purpose, whether you need jack stands, hydraulic manoeuvring jacks, air-hydraulic jacks or our WEBER-HEBER.
1.1 MANOEUVRING CAR LIFTS FOR MODERN WORKSHOP USE
A trolley jack is kept handy in many workshops due to its quick readiness for use. Its rollers allow it to be pushed under the vehicle without any awkward readjustment. This is particularly important when changing wheels frequently or carrying out service work. Load capacity and stability are decisive factors in determining whether the workshop jack works reliably or tends to slow down everyday work.
1.2 HYDRAULIC CAR JACK FOR POWERFUL LIFTING OPERATIONS
A hydraulic jack shows its strengths where heavy vehicles are lifted regularly. The system operates smoothly and the lift remains controlled, even if the vehicle is not only raised briefly. In workshops, agricultural applications or industrial areas, it is precisely this reliability that counts. If nothing moves unnecessarily during the lift, this protects the technology and gives the user a feeling of safety at work.
1.3 TRUSSING BLOCKS – ESSENTIAL FOR SAFE WORKING UNDER LOADS
Support stands have a clear purpose: they secure the vehicle after it has been lifted. No jack can replace this safety measure. As soon as work is carried out under the vehicle, the stands bear the weight and relieve the lifting equipment. Height adjustment, stable support surfaces and tested load capacities make all the difference here. In practice, the actual work only begins once the vehicle is safely positioned on support stands.
2. JACKS AS PART OF PROFESSIONAL WORKSHOP EQUIPMENT
In a well-organised workshop, the hydraulic jack never works alone. As part of the workshop equipment, it complements jack stands, torque wrenches and other workshop tools. Only this interaction creates safety and efficiency. Professional companies pay attention to tested load capacities, clean workmanship and long service life. Manufacturers take standards, load tests and real continuous operation into account. The WEBER-HYDRAULIK workshop range includes solutions that are designed precisely for this purpose. The WEBER-HEBER stands for robust technology that works reliably in everyday workshop use.
3. WEBER-HYDRAULIK – CAR JACKS FOR YOUR WORKSHOP RANGE
In every workshop, the jack forms the basis for many work steps. With the right design, you can work safely, in a controlled manner and efficiently. In practice, it quickly becomes apparent whether the technology is suitable for daily use or not. Those who rely on tested designs and clear processes reduce downtime and avoid damage. A coordinated workshop programme helps to supplement your equipment in a meaningful way and keep it ready for use at all times. Contact us now and let our experts advise you.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Here you will find answers to the most frequently asked questions about our services, products and
processes – summarised quickly and clearly.
Air in the system is noticeable due to jerky movement or lack of power. To bleed the air, open the release valve and pump the jack several times without any load. This allows trapped air to escape. Then close the valve again and check the movement under a light load. If the movement remains smooth, the system is free of air.
That depends on the application. A compact jack is often sufficient for occasional work on your own vehicle. In the workshop or for frequent use, sturdy trolley jacks with a high load capacity have proven their worth. The decisive factors are the lifting height, design and how often the jack is used on a daily basis. The higher the load and the frequency of use, the more robust the device should be.
The load capacity should always exceed the actual weight of the vehicle. As a rule of thumb, allow for at least one third reserve capacity. For a vehicle with a total weight of two tonnes, a jack with a load capacity of at least two and a half tonnes is recommended. This reserve capacity ensures smooth lifting and protects the mechanics.
The attachment point determines safety. Vehicles have designated mounting points on the sills, axles or frame. These points are listed in the vehicle manufacturer's manual. Never attach the device under thin metal sheets or non-load-bearing components. An incorrectly selected point can cause damage or make the vehicle unstable.
A jack is used for lifting, not for securing. Longer work on vehicles requires jack stands. As soon as someone is working under the vehicle, the load must rest on jack stands. This relieves the jack and significantly increases safety.
