What Are Mining Jacks?

Mining jacks are high-tonnage hydraulic jacks specifically designed to lift, lower, and support extremely heavy machinery in the mining sector. These jacks must handle:

• Uneven and unstable ground conditions

• Massive loads exceeding 100 tons

• Remote and difficult-to-access locations

• Extreme temperatures and heavy debris environments

Enerpac offers several mining jack configurations including:

• Hydraulic bottle-style jacks

• Telescopic jacks for extended reach

• Self-contained units with built-in pumps

• Remote-controlled wheeled models for added safety

All models are designed to deliver stable, repeatable performance with a focus on operator safety and rugged dependability.

Where and How Are They Used?

Enerpac Mining Jacks are essential for equipment maintenance, wheel replacement, and component servicing in surface and underground mining. Common applications include:

• Lifting off-highway trucks (OHTs) for tire and axle service

• Supporting mining shovels and loaders during undercarriage work

• Stabilizing draglines and cranes for maintenance

• Leveling or adjusting conveyor and crusher systems

• Replacing or rotating track frames and suspension components

Due to their mobility and high capacity, these jacks are often deployed directly to the equipment in the field, where cranes and larger lifts can’t reach.

Accessories and System Components

Enerpac Mining Jacks can be integrated into full lifting systems using:

• High-pressure hand or electric pumps

• Remote control units for wheeled models

• Load-holding valves for added safety during extended lifts

• Extension saddles and stacking blocks for adjustable height

• Tilt bases or swivel saddles for uneven ground

• Carrying handles and wheel kits for mobility

• Safety lock rings or mechanical locks for load security

Enerpac systems are fully modular, allowing users to scale solutions based on vehicle type, environment, and lifting height.

Industries in the USA That Use Mining Jacks

Enerpac Mining Jacks are found in key mining regions such as Nevada, Wyoming, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia. They’re used across sectors including:

• Coal mining – For lifting shuttle cars, crushers, and scoop trams

• Copper and gold mining – Maintaining haul trucks and drills

• Aggregate and quarry operations – For conveyor and screen system alignment

• Oil sands and tar mining – Supporting large processing vehicles and skids

• Underground mining – Where compact, mobile lifting tools are essential

These jacks are built to thrive in the dirtiest, most punishing environments in American industry.
