{"product_id":"the-long-arm-8-ton-ram-jack","title":"The Long Arm | 8-Ton Air and Hydraulic Ram Jack for Engine Hoists","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"product-narrative\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLifting an engine is a slow conversation between a pump handle and a hydraulic cylinder. Add a second power source and the conversation gets shorter. The Long Arm is an 8-ton long ram jack that runs on either shop air or a manual hydraulic pump, so the same cylinder handles a repetitive day in a busy bay and a delicate alignment job where millimetres matter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConnected to an air compressor, it lifts on a trigger, which suits the repeated drivetrain pulls that fill an auto shop schedule. Switched to the manual pump, it makes fine adjustments under load so an engine and transmission can be lined up before the mounts are tightened. The cylinder carries 8 tons, roughly 17,600 pounds, and adjusts across 26.8 to 45.7 inches to suit most shop cranes and garage jacks without extra adapters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe internals are built for a working garage rather than occasional use. The rod is chrome-plated alloy steel to resist corrosion under repeated pneumatic cycling, and the sealing system is reinforced against dust ingress and oil leaks. Safety is handled twice over with a hydraulic relief valve plus an air pressure cutoff that prevent overload, and an adjustable air-release valve controls descent so lowering is slow and steady instead of abrupt. A quick-install clevis base fits most engine hoists, and the same cylinder serves farm tractors, construction rigs, and warehouse machinery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eGravity is patient.
