The American Forge & Foundry 30T SuperDuty Air-Assist Bottle Jack (5630SD) is engineered for powerful and reliable lifting in diverse heavy-duty environments. This robust jack offers the flexibility of both air and manual operation, making it an essential tool for automotive shops, truck maintenance facilities, agricultural operations, and industrial settings. Its design prioritizes stability, control, and long-term performance, even under demanding conditions. With a substantial 30-ton (60,000 lb) capacity, the 5630SD is built to handle the significant weight of large vehicles, machinery, and equipment, providing a secure and efficient lifting solution for professionals. The thoughtful integration of a stable base, precise control mechanisms, and a high-strength construction ensures dependability for critical lifting tasks, making it a valuable addition to any heavy-duty toolkit.
KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS:
- Dual Operation Capability: Offers the convenience of air-powered lifting for speed and efficiency, alongside a manual hydraulic option for situations where air is unavailable or for fine adjustments.
- Enhanced Stability: Features an extra-thick base design providing a highly stable lifting platform, especially useful on uneven or less-than-ideal surfaces.
- Controlled Descent: Dual return springs and a shielded release screw allow safe, secure, and precise lowering of the load.
- Robust Construction: Fully welded tank and frame contribute to maximum strength and durability while minimizing the risk of leaks.
- Efficient Air Motor: Specially engineered air motor ensures smooth, consistent performance to reduce operator fatigue and improve lifting speed.

HOW TO USE:
- Preparation: Place the jack on a firm, level surface. Engage the parking brake and chock wheels as needed to prevent movement.
- Positioning: Align the jack’s saddle directly under the designated lifting point. Refer to the vehicle’s manual for correct lift points.
- Lifting (Air-Assist): Connect an air hose with 110–120 PSI to the 1/4" NPT inlet. Activate the air valve to begin lifting. Monitor the lift height throughout the process.
- Lifting (Manual): Insert the handle into the socket and pump steadily to elevate the load.
- Secure Load: Once elevated, place jack stands under the vehicle. Never rely solely on the jack to support a load.
- Lowering: Open the shielded release screw slowly to lower the load with control. Ensure no personnel or obstructions are under the load before descent.
- Removal: When the load is secure or on the ground, remove the jack and store it properly.
