Jack Inspection & Testing
The Jack Inspection & Testing program is essential for the safe use of hydraulic Jacking equipment. There are different types of automotive jacks which include the most common car jack, other types of jacks, truck jacks, trolley jacks, bottle jacks, hydraulic workshop press, transmission Jacks and vehicle stands.
The importance of jack testing should not be ignored. Jacks have changed over the years and standards have been developed to standardise the safety and performance requirements for hydraulic jacks and other lifting devices
There are Inspection and testing schedules that the user must meet.

Ask yourself this question, “When was the last time you had your hydraulic equipment tested ?” There has been a change in the regulations of what vehicle stands & hydraulic jacks you can use on a commercial worksite. Single post stands can no longer be used in a workshop.
All stands must be of a pyramid construction with a pin ratchet-type stand. The same applies for floor jacks, hydraulic Jacking equipment, floor jacks, motor lifters, or bottle jacks. They all must have a safety valve.
A safety valve is an overload valve that physically stops you from lifting more than the designated weight of the jack you are using.
