| Our licensed MAC JACK® enables wheel or truck changeouts to be performed in as quickly as 20 minutes. It's uniquely designed to lift unloaded well and center beam-type articulated cars (in their unit form) over 30 inches above the rails. It can handle cars in the yard up to a 50 ton maximum weight limit depending upon lifting points.
The MAC JACK® requires only a 6" rail clearance without adapter plate (81/2" with adapter plate) between the top of the rails and the bottom of the car. This low profile is made possible because one of its two hydraulic lifting cylinders "pivots" to a horizontal position for easy under-the-car access. In the unlikely event of hydraulic system failure, a ratchet and pawl system provides a complete mechanical fail safe condition.
The heavy duty MAC JACK® and its companion self-contained power unit are capable of servicing cars in just about any location where it is possible to operate a fork-truck (8,000 pounds minimum capacity). This versatility makes the whole yard a "repair shop" in a moment's notice. |
