What Are Enerpac Aluminum Jacks?

Enerpac Aluminum Jacks are lightweight hydraulic jacks made from aircraft-grade aluminum, offering up to half the weight of steel jacks while retaining high load-handling capacity. Available in both single-acting and double-acting configurations, these jacks feature:

• High-strength aluminum bodies for corrosion resistance

• Composite bearings for long service life

• Carrying handles for portability

• Base holes for secure mounting

• Stroke lengths and tonnages comparable to steel models

Despite their lighter construction, these jacks are built for tough jobs, with lifting capacities ranging from 5 to 100 tons depending on model.

Where and How Are They Used?

Enerpac Aluminum Jacks are used in applications where portability is essential without sacrificing lifting power:

• Remote construction sites where lightweight gear is critical

• Aviation and aerospace maintenance (for aircraft lifting or testing)

• Utility pole, tower, or substation work

• Wind turbine base adjustments

• Mobile service trucks or maintenance teams

• Disaster response and search-and-rescue operations

• Bridge jacking in difficult terrain

Crews appreciate the ease of transport, quick setup, and reliable force output, especially when lifting must be done manually or in challenging environments.

Accessories and System Components

Aluminum jacks can be configured into full Enerpac hydraulic systems and used with:

• Manual or electric pumps (especially Enerpac’s portable hand pumps)

• Lightweight hoses with quick-connect couplers

• Extension saddles and adapters

• Lock nut or load-holding collars for extended lifts

• Pressure gauges for monitored control

• Carrying cases or storage racks

Their aluminum construction also provides natural corrosion resistance, making them ideal for marine or humid conditions.

Industries in the USA That Use Enerpac Aluminum Jacks

Enerpac Aluminum Jacks are used across industries that require frequent transport, lightweight gear, and reliable lifting performance:

• Utilities & Power Distribution – Field pole replacement and transformer setups

• Aerospace & Aviation – Aircraft structural support or gear maintenance

• Construction & Infrastructure – Deck support, beam leveling, or remote lift access

• Wind & Renewable Energy – Lifting components in remote turbine installations

• Emergency & Rescue Services – Vehicle extraction, rubble lifting, and confined space access

• Defense & Military Logistics – Mobile lifting gear for transport and field operations

Because they’re easy to move by hand or load into trucks or helicopters, aluminum jacks are often part of mobile deployment toolkits.

Why Choose Enerpac Aluminum Jacks?

Enerpac’s aluminum models are ideal when lifting performance must be paired with portability:

• Up to 50% lighter than comparable steel jacks

• Ideal for overhead work or extended handling

• Compact and rugged for mobile use

• Resistant to rust, corrosion, and weathering

• Compatible with all Enerpac high-pressure pumps and accessories

Enerpac Aluminum Jacks allow crews to work faster, safer, and more flexibly, especially in hard-to-access or off-grid environments.

Interesting Facts

• Enerpac Aluminum Cylinders and Jacks are commonly used in air cargo and aerospace testing where every pound counts.

• First responders and FEMA teams use them in urban search-and-rescue scenarios.

• Aluminum jacks are also popular in clean room and high-tech manufacturing because they are non-magnetic and corrosion-resistant.
