Professional 1-Tonne Lifting Power for Irish Garages

The AC Hydraulic VL10 is the industry standard for workshops and industrial garages across Ireland and Northern Ireland. With a lifting capacity of 1,000kg, this vertical transmission jack provides the stability and power required for removing and installing gearboxes in modern passenger cars and light commercial vans. Its robust construction ensures it remains a reliable partner in your workshop for years to come.

Hands-Free Precision and Control

Efficiency is key in a busy garage environment. The VL10 is equipped with a high-quality pedal-operated pump, allowing technicians to maintain full control over the transmission with both hands while lifting. For the lowering phase, the jack features a manual dead man’s release mechanism, providing optimum safety and preventing accidental or rapid drops.

Built for Durability and Smooth Mobility

Every component of the VL10 is designed for longevity. The piston rod and pump piston are hard chromium-plated to resist wear and corrosion. The unit is mounted on four sturdy 125mm swivel castors, ensuring smooth movement across workshop floors even when under full load. The galvanized support saddle and base frame provide additional protection against the oils and chemicals typically found in automotive environments.

Multi-Purpose Workshop Versatility

While optimized for transmissions, the VL10 is a versatile lifting tool suitable for various heavy-duty tasks, including:

• Supporting and mounting heavy exhaust systems
• Positioning fuel tanks during removal
• Assisting with the installation of suspension springs
• General under-vehicle lifting operations
