Teflon seals for low maintenance
Low maintenance due to bronze-filled teflon seals on the main cylinder
Low extension and retraction time
- The hydraulic pump is operated using compressed air
- The high- and low-pressure pumps are located inside the oil tank
- If the force required is too high, the axle-jack is not extended any further to prevent damage
