Blog > Guide to the Toe Jack: the lightweight solution for heavy loads

Lifting within some company environments is the order of the day. This is why, in order to optimise every single lifting operation, it is necessary to resort to advanced solutions such as the toe jack.

A fundamental tool that must be chosen with the utmost care to ensure efficiency and reliability. At Nuova Tecnica we constantly invest in quality and innovation to take every operation to a new level, as is the case with the GKS-Perfekt toe jacks and lifts that combine cutting-edge technology with high performance.

Ideal for lifting heavy loads inside and outside the company, they feature a low tooth thickness of only 15 mm and are the only ones in the world to be made of guaranteed cast.

Different aspects need to be considered when evaluating a purchase. This guide aims to provide an overview of how hydraulic jacks work and help companies choose the most suitable product for their needs.

The hydraulic jack is an indispensable mechanical tool for lifting and handling heavy loads in various fields and sectors, from automotive maintenance to building construction.

By exploiting the principles of hydraulic physics, it allows a small force applied manually to be transformed into a larger force capable of lifting heavy objects with relative ease.

This tool is distinguished by its efficiency and precision, offering versatile solutions for the most complex lifting requirements. The quality of the lifting jacks is a fundamental aspect, which directly influences the performance of the operation.

A hydraulic jack is used in a wide range of applications, highlighting its versatility and reliability.

Frequently used in the industrial, construction and heavy machinery maintenance sectors, the hydraulic jack is essential for lifting structures, machinery during production, installation and repair, or positioning heavy structures with precision.

Its ability to provide significant lifting force makes it an irreplaceable tool for professionals and companies.

The use of a hydraulic jack begins with the safe positioning of the tool under the load to be lifted, taking care to place it in specifically designated lifting points to ensure stability and safety.

By means of a lever or pump mechanism, theoperator applies a manual force that is amplified by the jack's internalhydraulic system, causingthe piston and, consequently, the load itself tolift gradually. It is essential to monitor the lifting to ensure that it is done in a controlled and uniform manner, avoiding, especially during unloading, abrupt movements that could compromise the stability of the lifted object.

When purchasing toe jacks and lifts, as in the case of toe jacks, careful evaluation of certain features is essential to find the product that best suits your company's needs. Here are some determining factors to consider

1. Lifting capacity appropriate for the weight of the loads you plan to lift in your company. The GKS-Perfekt products available at Nuova Tecnica, to suit a wide range of operational needs, offer lifting capacities from 5 to 30 tonnes.
2. Minimum insertion height to cope with situations where space under the load is limited. The innovative design of the GKS-Perfekt jacks, with an extremely low lifting tooth of up to 15 mm, allows easy access even in the tightest spaces.
3. Possiblecontrol modes , assess whether the jack can be operated manually or requires remote control via hydraulic pumps, as is the case with the models available from Nuova Tecnica.
4. Precision and reliability in lifting and lowering the load, to ensure safety and efficiency during operation. Nuova Tecnica's jacks are designed for precise adjustment, ensuring optimal control at all stages of lifting.
5. Tooth adjustment and strength: The ability to adjust the lifting tooth offers a significant advantage in terms of versatility and adaptability to various types of loads and surfaces. Nuova Tecnica's GKS-Perfekt hydraulic jacks offer up to 4 times the adjustment capacity, improving lifting efficiency under different conditions.
6. Durability and build quality ensure your long-term investment. The lifting jacks available from Nuova Tecnica are known for their robust construction and use of high-quality materials, ensuring a long-lasting product.

Nuova Tecnica's GKS-Perfekt hydraulic jacks stand out in the lifting jack scene due to unique features:

• Lowest cast tine guaranteed unique: Some products, such as the GKS-Perfekt V5 hydraulic jack, have tines with a thickness of only 15 mm, guaranteeing minimal entry, which is essential for lifting in confined spaces.
• Remote control: the possibility of driving the jacks either directly or remotely with hydraulic pumps offers an unrivalled level of versatility, adapting to every operational need.
• Unsurpassed precision in load lifting and lowering: millimetric adjustment ensures total control of the load, minimising the risk of damage.
• Power and versatility: the GKS-Perfekt V10K can lift up to 10 tonnes with the input height of the V5, combining power and practicality.

Customised adjustment: the ability to adjust the pick up to 4 times allows perfect adaptation to different lifting needs.

In the extensive product range of jacks, we present the GKS-Perfekt V5 and GKS-Perfekt V10K.

The GKS-Perfekt V5 with a weight of only 21 kg has a load capacity of up to 5 tonnes, being able to lift heavy loads at a low weight. Highlights include apick height, with three adjustment capacities, of only 15 mm and a lifting height of 140 mm. For hard-to-access loads we recommend the GKS-Perfekt V10K hydraulic jack with a weight of 28 kg and a capacity of up to 10 tonnes.

These are just a few of the hydraulic jack s in the GKS-Perfekt range available on Nuova Tecnica. You can learn more and request a consultation to find out which models and prices of hydraulic jacks are most suitable for your company.
