Description
Raise heavy trucks with American Forge 10 Ton Air Lift equipment when floor-level service requires more clearance than a conventional jack. Experienced automotive technicians gain 20,000-lb lifting capacity at 200 PSI during wheel, axle, suspension, and underbody work, but can an air lift support a vehicle safely without engaged locks and stands? Its high-grade steel construction, rubber-tread wheels, removable T-handle, and overload protection support vehicle lifting and lowering, not unrestricted load suspension.
Model 3400A provides a 12-inch lift travel from an 18-inch minimum height to a 52-inch maximum height. The air valve controls lifting and lowering speed, while extension tubes provide multiple lifting points and locking positions. Published data lists a 27-inch length, 12.75-inch base width, 18.25-inch overall height, 183-lb weight, and red finish. Use the current manual for air-pressure, lock, and vehicle-contact requirements.
Features of American Forge Lift
Automotive repair shops, fleet garages, agricultural service centers, and heavy-equipment technicians need an air lift for raising the front or rear of supported vehicles. Trained operators can use this 10-ton air jack when the contact points, floor, air supply, mechanical locks, and safety stands are verified.
- 10-ton capacity supports compatible trucks, tractors, trailers, and heavy service vehicles.
- 20,000-lb capacity is achieved at the listed 200 PSI operating pressure.
- 12-inch lift travel raises supported vehicle sections for underbody service.
- 18-inch minimum height fits selected low-clearance vehicle contact points.
- 52-inch maximum height provides extended access for chassis and wheel service.
- Removable T-handle and extension tubes support storage and multiple lifting positions.
- Large rubber-tread wheels improve portability across suitable shop floors.
- Overload protection helps limit operation beyond the listed vehicle-lifting capacity.
Load Test Air Control
No independent proof-load result, air-pressure telemetry, frame-deflection test, lock-holding measurement, wheel-load test, or vehicle compatibility certification was supplied. Do not treat 20,000 lbs as a proof load. Uneven floors, incorrect contact points, damaged locks, insufficient air pressure, and off-center vehicle loading can affect stability. Support the raised vehicle with approved stands before working beneath it.
Vehicle Service Limits
The pneumatic air valve, steel frame, extension tubes, overload protection, rubber wheels, and lifting range support vehicle service in professional shops. This air lift is not verified for personnel lifting, unsupported under-vehicle work, unstable flooring, side loading, or loads above 20,000 lbs.
- Inspect the air valve, hoses, locks, lifting pads, frame, wheels, and extension tubes before use.
- Confirm contact-point placement, vehicle balance, air pressure, and mechanical lock engagement.
- Use properly rated safety stands and remove the lift from service after leakage or structural damage.
