Would this be thick enough to use in an old lift jack? could I also pack the jack bearings with thhis stuff?

If you are referring to a hydraulic jack, not, it is not suitable. They use oil, not grease, and have o-rings, not bearings. You can purchase hydraulic jack oil which is suitable for that purpose. There is no need to use food grade grease in lift jacks unless they are used in the preparation of food.

This is food grade grease, designed for gears and slides...I don't think they are the same thing.

it is the same consistancy of the grease i used in my grease gun and will withstand higher temperatures?

This is food grade grease, so its viscosity (40 @ 40°C) is probably lower than most applications. It probably has lower life span, too. In short, I don't have an answer for you - sorry.

No..not by any means.. This product is made for items that are for food grade.

I don't know in foot pounds. The motor has enough "torque" to drive the jack down tight, but not enough to extend the jack further once it is tight. Our trailer is very heavy so I would not expect it to move the trailer. A word to the wise, the BAL jack that this works on, is not good for lifting once the foot is tight to the ground. The single sided screw mechanism will tilt the jack and make the gear type edges of the metal parts skip past each other. Use some other means to lift the trailer for level and then extend the jacks tight. The scissors units are stabilizers only.

It doesn't matter. If you grease it, grit and gravel will stick to it and hasten the self-destruction of the jack screw. It will fail soon enough anyway because of the soft, poorly machined metal that can't handle the weight. My trailer only weighs about 2800 pounds

I believe the size is called SD.it definitely doesn`t take all sizes.Check out harbor freight they have the different sizes and a jack like this butmo re expensive.

Yes, I have it installed on my stock, just be aware that the base for it is fairly narrow so it may not fit a jack from another manufacturer. I have a smittybuilt jack and it does not fit this carrier, just havent gotten around to getting a rugged ridge one yet.

These are not made for that. The jack has plenty of power. You would have to make mounts for them and it could be major. If you are handy and have the tools it might work. Go to an RV place and see what is on an RV that has levelers and see if you could do something similar with 4 of these jacks. If it works great but if not it is an expensive experiment. Count the cost. Good luck?

it does seem to lift as advertised... altho part of the lift has to be in the foot (6") ...... I have a 2500 new dodge and it has a high hitch works with no problem.. great jack for the money

Hi Susan. I suspect it would work as an aftermarket jack provided it is located under a frame member and is rated to support the weight.

I have used this jack for the same thing and it did a good job for me . good luck

I bought this jack last year. I use it on a travel trailer with a dry weight of 4800 lbs, and it works great! It makes setup a lot easier than it used to be. I think you will find that it will do the job.

I can answer on the thickness for sure, but I was using jumbo push pins with a 3/8" metal pin part and didn't have an issue.

I'm not home to measure my trailer right now, but I believe it the same as yours. It is a standard jet ski trailer made with square steel tubing. The bracket for the jack does allow for some variation on height since it uses four bolts (two on top and two on bottom) that basically sandwich the jack to the frame. I think you will be fine. PS - this is very nice jack. -Mike

Haven't tried anything that thick. I think I would purchase a Bolt cutter. Sure to do the trick.

All depends on load. I have a 36 ft travel trailer and it has a 25 amp fuse in line to the jack. Lifts with no problem.

These jacks are very well built with a 6000 lb load capacity. They probably would hold up your truck but my only concern would be the contact point on top of the jack, it's not very big in relation to the top of a automotive jack stand.I wouldn't use these in place of a regular jack stand to hold up my truck which is a 3500 Ram

I believe so. This jack can be used to roll your trailer around and then hooked to a vehicle. Once hooked, you can swivel the jack up against the trailer tongue.

Yes it can be used for bearings if the size is correct. Put bearings in freezer and heat wheel for easier install.
