American Forge & Foundry 20-Ton Short Super Duty Bottle Jack (3620S)

The American Forge & Foundry 20-Ton Short Super Duty Bottle Jack (3620S) is a professional-grade hydraulic lifting solution engineered for the most demanding environments. This robust bottle jack is specifically designed to meet the rigorous requirements of heavy-duty truck maintenance, agricultural equipment, mining operations, and oil field applications. With its impressive 20-ton (40,000 lbs) lifting capacity, the 3620S provides the substantial power needed to safely raise large vehicles and machinery. Its “short” or “low profile” design is a key advantage, allowing it to fit into confined spaces and under equipment with limited ground clearance, making it an indispensable tool for a wide range of tasks. Built from high-grade steel with a fully welded cylinder and a forged base, this jack ensures exceptional strength, reliability, and leak-free performance, even under extreme pressure. Safety is paramount with the 3620S, featuring an integrated oil bypass system for overload protection, preventing damage to the jack and enhancing user safety during operation. The extension screw provides additional height adjustment, offering versatility to accommodate various lifting needs. Meeting stringent ANSI/ASME PALD 2014 safety standards, the AFF 3620S is a dependable and essential piece of equipment for any professional garage or industrial setting.

Engage the parking brake if working on a vehicle, and chock the wheels that will remain on the ground to prevent movement.Position the Jack: Locate a secure and strong lifting point on the vehicle or equipment as recommended by the manufacturer’s manual. Position the American Forge & Foundry 3620S bottle jack directly under this point, ensuring the saddle is centered and making full contact.Close the Release Valve: Insert the handle into the release valve located at the base of the jack. Turn the handle clockwise firmly until the valve is fully closed. This prevents the jack from lowering unexpectedly.Pump the Handle: Insert the handle into the pumping sleeve. Begin to pump the handle in a steady, full stroke motion. As you pump, the ram will extend, and the saddle will begin to lift the load. Continue pumping until the load is raised to the desired height.Place Jack Stands (Crucial Safety Step): Once the load is lifted to the desired height, immediately place appropriately rated jack stands under solid support points of the vehicle or equipment. Never work under a load supported only by a hydraulic jack.Lower the Load (When Done): To lower the load, slowly and carefully turn the release valve counter-clockwise using the handle. The load will gradually descend onto the jack stands or fully to the ground. Once the load is fully resting, remove the jack.Store the Jack: After use, clean the jack and store it in a dry, safe place. Ensure the ram is fully retracted to prevent corrosion and damage.BENEFITS OF USING AMERICAN FORGE & FOUNDRY 20-TON SHORT SUPER DUTY BOTTLE JACK (3620S):Overload protection feature enhances operational safety and prevents jack failure.Compact design makes it ideal for low-clearance situations and easy storage.Welded cylinder and forged base ensure reliable, leak-free lifting every time.Complies with industry safety standards, guaranteeing trustworthy performance.Flexible lifting positions support various use cases in different working conditions.Hydraulic assist reduces physical effort, making lifting safer and more efficient.FEATURES:Reinforced pistons offer enhanced performance and durability.Hardened steel saddle provides secure contact with lifting surfaces.Supports both vertical and horizontal lifting applications.Red powder-coated exterior improves resistance to rust and wear.Low-profile base allows use in confined and limited-clearance areas.Manual hydraulic control enables smooth, measured lifting and lowering.Includes two-piece pump handle for easy handling and transport.
