The MEJ50-18 offers the greatest range for starting and extended height in the MEJ50 series of 50 Metric Tonne jacks. This air operated hydraulic jack powered by the proven premium quality of an SC air/hydraulic pump features a closed height of 654mm, a maximum extended height of 1111mm, with a maximum chocked height of 1085mm. This jack offers excellent manoeuvrability for mining or earthmoving operators across a range of small to medium size machines including mid-size loaders, , and rigid body dumpers as an example. The fold-out handle offers reach of more than 3m from lift point to operator and allows for the easy placement of the jack when access is an issue such as inserting from in front a rear axle on a rigid body dump truck. Box section lifting points allow for easy and safe long- distance movement, and the large base plate offers superior stability on the loosest of soils or gravels. Like the jacking cylinder itself, the load holding blocks have been designed to meet a minimum 2:1 safety factor on SWL, meaning that once in place, the jack can effectively be considered a fully compliant work stand. Fully welded 6 & 10mm steel chassis, with all critical components being fully enclosed, offers premium resistance to incidental damage. The large pneumatic wheels with sealed roller bearings, mean this jack is as easy if not easier to move than any non-powered jacks currently available on the market. Inside the jacking cylinder is a fully bronzed piston and gland bearing surfaces, along with broad lip glide ring and energisers seals that provide optimal cylinder life even if a seal kit change is overdue, or minor rod damage has occurred. With a bolt on gland, base plate, and piston, the MEJ50 Series jacks are also by far the easiest to work on in the industry, which is a crucial consideration for remotely located clients. With available accessories including a range of extension dollies from 100mm through to 450mm, along with self-levelling load caps, and the load holding chocks, which are supplied as standard, the MEJ50-18 will deliver market leading reliability and manoeuvrability for years to come.
