    Jack Repair & Services

    • Jack Load Testing
      • How often should jacks be load tested? (Statement by Tronair)
        Tronair recommends functional load testing of hydraulic jacks on an annual (12-month) preventative maintenance cycle. Tronair also recommends load testing any time the jack seals have been replaced.
        When testing the jack, the force readings recorded by the test person should fall between the maximum and minimum values (105% – 110% of the rated capacity). We adhere to all Tronair jack load testing procedures and guidelines.

    How much does your services cost?
    Please request a quote for your specific jacks by easily requesting a service request. We will be in contact with you shortly with a quote for approval.

    How do I get my jacks to you?
    You may take care of shipping the jacks to us via a freight carrier. We can also provide you with a custom-sized pallet for your item and send it to you via LTL freight. Once you receive the pallet, strap down your item to it and attach the pre-paid shipping label. After you let us know when it’s ready to go, we’ll schedule the pickup from your facility. The entire process takes only a few days and makes servicing your item less expensive since we can do it directly at our facility. When we’ve completed the servicing, we’ll ship your item back to you via LTL freight.  

    How long does it take you to load test a jack? 
    Once we receive a jack, we will have it load tested within 3 business days to ship back to you.

    How long does service and repairs take?
    Once the jacks are received, we will diagnose and send you a repair authorization and quote. The lead times on repairs can change and are dependent on parts availability (lead time), our current repair schedule, and actual repair times. You may use the form above to request specific service and estimated repair times.
