I picked up the HF version of this jack. Which looks exactly identical to this one aside from the color scheme, black handle pieces, reseal kit, and coming standard with the 1/4 air fitting. Got it when it was on sale. You kinda don’t want to crank down on the valve knob. It’ll wallow out the seal. Snug is enough. The older silver Pittsburg wasn’t the best. The hose would crumble and the main seals would leak. The newer red version that came out this year definitely looks and operates better.
Exactly the video I was looking for I was at princess junco looking at these thinking that I would be able to Jack my cabin up thank you for a wonderful video I fully understand this and yes I'm going to buy a 20 ton question is there a minimum PSI that I need to be conscious of
Awesome! I have ran it with as little as 90 psi, but I think to get the best performance you should have 120. Let me know how it works out? Thanks for dropping by & have a great day :) @RCInsiders
Hi Jeff, Your guess is as good as mine. Although I have been driving for decades & have not seen this fitting on a rig. Easy enough to convert though :) Thanks for dropping by & have a great day! @RCInsiders
So far, not very happy with mine. Just installed mine in a Harbor Freight 20-ton shop press, as a replacement for the 20-ton manual jack that comes with it. The air swivel fitting that is screwed into the cap of the air motor was cross-threaded. I was able to re-thread it correctly, but it will not lift past a couple inches, although the manual lever works fine. And yes I bleed the air and filled with hydraulic fluid to the bottom of the hole.
Mine works fine manually but not at all pneumatically. there must be an air pocket in the air part that has not escaped. I'm going to try cycling it so to air portion is down when on its side.
@@hansjansen7047 You are in luck! I am going to tell you exactly how to make your jack work. You have the exact same problem I had. On the backside of the base there is a large Phillips head screw. Connect your air hose and squeeze the trigger. Keep it on. Unscrew the Phillips screw almost until it falls out. Then begin screwing it in slowly. As you get close to being tight, the cylinder will start to go up. You can tighten it the rest of the way. Your Jack has bled out the air that was causing the problem.

If you bled it & filled the hyd oil, I'm not sure the issue.

How much pressure do you need?
So could you control the pressure if you where to set the compressor at a certain psi would it surpass that set pressure or no ?

If your compressor has a regulator, you can control the pressure.
Is that what you mean?

@RCInsiders
20 tons is not 44,000 lbs, its 40,000 lbs
From the manufacturer: "High Capacity: 20T: The load capacity can reach up to 20 Ton (44092 lbs), Max"
1 metric ton = 2204.62
20 x 2204.62 = 44092.4
Thinking you have the wrong air pressure man…?
