Application
The K-Tool International 10-Ton Long Chassis Service Jack, No. KTIHD63186A, is designed for wheel and under-vehicle service on heavy duty truck and fleet vehicles. The long chassis frame allows the reach of lift points under larger and very heavy vehicles and helps technicians lift vehicles much quicker, using the fast-to-load feature to position the saddle, eliminating the need for a foot pedal.
Origin
Traditional style high-weight capacity service jack pumps, by design, are extremely slow lifting, which previously required the use of a foot pedal to speed up the movement of the saddle to the load. There needed to be a faster way to get the saddle to the load to save the technician time pumping the jack. With the new KTIHD63186A Long Chassis Service jack, no foot pedal is needed, and (under no load) with just a few quick pumps, the saddle can reach the lift point.
