I have a 7000# floor jack with a 22" max lift. I am getting only about half of the lift. After a few pumps the handle has a lot of free play. It finally reaches a point to where it is all free play an no lift at all. I tried adding some jack oil but that didn't help.
Is there some maintenance of repair to get the jack operational?
Thanks, Pete
IT would rather obviously help to have clear detailed pictures from all sides, and to know what brand and model number ?
it sure sounds like your seals, o-rings are leaking or your jack has air rather than hydraulic fluid.
most floor jacks are rather easily repaired, but you need to know whats damaged and how to dis-assemble and inspect and repair the jack or find a good hydraulic repair shop locally
