Chicago Pneumatic has launched a new series of air hydraulic jacks, extending its professional workshop equipment range. The company says the CP85XXX range of high lifting capacity air hydraulic jacks are perfect for tyre changing and general mechanic applications on heavy vehicles such as buses, trucks and agricultural vehicles.

There are four jacks in the range which deliver an extended lifting capacity from 30 up to 100 tons, providing fast and easy lifting and lowering controlled from the handle. They are also easy to move,  transport and manoeuvre. The CP85030, CP85050, CP85080 and CP85100 air hydraulic jacks enable heavy vehicle service professionals to get jobs done quickly and efficiently, thereby improving productivity. The new CP85XXX range also excellent durability thanks to its new air hydraulic system. The jacks feature a hard chromium plated piston rod and an anti-dust ring, therefore providing a long service life.

Yann Pasco, Global Business Development Manager for vehicle service at Chicago Pneumatic Tools says, “With our latest developments we can now offer a full lifting range and a full one-stop-shop solution for the vehicle service industry with high quality air tools, dedicated accessories as well as a bigger range of workshop equipment, enabling users to do their job profitably while providing a safer work environment.”
