Weize Long Ram Jack 3 Ton Capacity - Long-Travel Hydraulic Jack

In this review of the Weize Long Ram Jack, the reviewer looked for a robust long-travel hydraulic jack suitable for engine hoists and shop cranes. The bottom line: this is a practical, heavy-duty 3 ton ram jack that combines a long 18.9 in lift range and a clevis-style base to fit most shop cranes, making it a strong choice for professional mechanics and serious DIYers who need a compact, high-capacity bottle jack. The safety valve and industrial-grade construction are the single biggest reasons to buy if you need dependable lifting without a bulky footprint.

Key Features

• 3 Ton Capacity: Rated for 3 tons (6,000 lb) so it handles most engine blocks, transmissions, and heavy components found in garages and farms.
• Long Ram Travel: The ram provides an 18.9 in lifting height, allowing extra reach when used with shop cranes or when extra clearance is required.
• Wide Height Range: With a minimum height near 24.8 in and a maximum near 43.7 in, it covers a broad range of lift positions for versatile shop work.
• Built-in Safety Valve: Integrated oil-bypass and overload protection reduce risk of overextension and protect the hydraulic system during heavy lifts.
• Durable Cylinder and Seals: Polished piston and Y-style polyurethane sealing ring with backup ring help prevent oil drift and slow falls under load.
• Clevis Base and Comfort Handle: The clevis-style base mounts to most shop cranes while the rubberized comfort grip handle makes repositioning easier during repetitive tasks.

Who It's For

The Weize Long Ram Jack is best for professional mechanics, mobile technicians, and serious home workshop users who rely on engine hoists or hydraulic cranes and need a compact jack with extended reach and reliable 3 ton capacity. It is especially useful when a standard bottle jack does not provide enough height or when a clevis mounting option is required.

Those who should look elsewhere include users who need higher than 3 ton capacity or a different pump configuration such as dual-piston systems for very heavy shop cranes. Also consider other styles if you need a jack with an integrated lifting saddle rather than a clevis pin mount.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Sturdy industrial construction offers dependable service life for workshop use.
• Long ram travel and wide max/min height range give flexible lift positions for engine work.

Cons

• Limited to a 3 ton capacity, so it is not suitable for heavier commercial lifting needs.
