The Malabar 718B is a 20-ton capacity single stage hydraulic jack designed primarily
for use in aircraft maintenance. It consists of a tripod structure, hydraulic cylinder/reservoir assembly, adjustable
hand pump, and swivel casters.
The jack leg pads are raised off the ground by spring loaded casters. The casters will retract and the pads rest on
the ground when a load is applied to the jack.
