Simplex rj86a 5 Ton Ratchet Jack 13 Inches Stroke

Product Description

The SIMPLEX rj86a is a 5-ton mechanical ratchet jack built for heavy-duty lifting in industrial and trade service applications. The jack delivers a 13-inch stroke with a collapsed height of 20 inches and a toe height range of 1.75 inches to 14.75 inches, making it effective in low-clearance work environments. Drop-forged, alloy steel components are heat-treated for load-bearing strength. Multiple-tooth pawls provide positive holding at each ratchet position. Plated springs resist corrosion in field and shop conditions. This unit is designed to meet or exceed ANSI/ASME B30.1 safety standards for jacks.

The rj86a is suited for mechanical trade work including ironwork, millwright operations, heavy equipment positioning, and industrial maintenance. The double-lever sockets allow jacking in close quarters where standard handle swing is not possible. The large base measures 7.38 inches by 5 inches, providing a stable footprint on job-site surfaces. Handle effort is rated at 32 pounds per ton of load, keeping operator fatigue manageable during repetitive lifts. This jack is a manual, mechanically-operated tool requiring no hydraulic lines or power source.

Installation Notes

Positioning and use of ratchet jacks should be performed by qualified millwrights, ironworkers, or mechanical tradespeople familiar with ANSI/ASME B30.1 safe-use requirements. Always inspect the jack base seating and load cap contact before applying load. Never exceed the rated 5-ton capacity and ensure the load is stable and centered over the cap before ratcheting. Keep personnel clear of the load path during lifting operations.
