Threaded Ram Load Return Hydraulic Pancake Jacks (PCT Series) | Features, Applications & Advantages

In industries where compact, powerful, and precise lifting solutions are essential, Threaded Ram Load Return Hydraulic Pancake Jacks (PCT Series) are a trusted choice. Designed for tough industrial lifting applications in confined spaces, these jacks combine the strength of hydraulic lifting with the added versatility of a threaded ram for secure load holding and adjustment.

Whether it’s construction, heavy equipment maintenance, shipbuilding, or infrastructure projects — the PCT Series offers reliable performance, safety, and durability you can count on.

What Are Threaded Ram Load Return Hydraulic Pancake Jacks?

Threaded Ram Load Return Hydraulic Pancake Jacks are compact, low-height hydraulic jacks specifically designed for lifting heavy loads where vertical space is restricted. The “threaded ram” feature allows for the attachment of lock nuts or saddles, making it easier to secure and hold the load safely in a lifted position.

The load return mechanism means the jack’s piston retracts automatically when the load is released — a simple, effective, and low-maintenance system. As part of the PCT Series, these jacks are built with high-quality materials to handle challenging industrial environments while providing safe and efficient lifting.

Key Features of PCT Series Pancake Jacks

  • Low-Profile, Compact Design:
    Perfect for areas with limited vertical clearance where standard jacks cannot be used.

  • Threaded Ram:
    Allows for the use of lock nuts or accessories, improving load safety and stability during extended lifting or maintenance operations.

  • Load Return Operation:
    The ram automatically retracts under the weight of the load, offering simple, hassle-free operation without relying on hydraulic pressure to return.

  • Heavy-Duty Alloy Steel Body:
    Rugged, durable construction ensures long service life and excellent performance even in harsh working conditions.

  • High Tonnage Capacity:
    Available in various capacities, typically ranging from 10 tons to over 200 tons, catering to diverse lifting requirements.

  • Optional Tilt Saddles and Lock Nuts:
    Improves load alignment and safety, reducing the risk of shifting or slippage.

  • Single-Acting Hydraulic Cylinder:
    Straightforward operation that requires minimal maintenance.

Applications of Threaded Ram Pancake Jacks

The PCT Series Threaded Ram Pancake Jacks are ideal for a wide range of industrial and heavy-duty applications, including:

  • Bridge Construction & Maintenance:
    Lifting and supporting bridge decks and beams in confined or hard-to-reach locations.

  • Heavy Equipment Installation:
    Positioning and aligning heavy machines or components where space is tight.

  • Shipbuilding & Offshore Applications:
    Handling and adjusting heavy structures in restricted marine environments.

  • Industrial Maintenance:
    Supporting, lifting, and positioning heavy plant machinery during servicing and repairs.

  • Infrastructure and Civil Projects:
    Lifting precast structures, beams, and heavy sections in road, rail, and tunnel works.

  • Mining, Cement, and Power Plants:
    Managing and maintaining massive equipment under demanding conditions.

Benefits of PCT Series Hydraulic Pancake Jacks

  • Compact & Lightweight:
    Easy to handle, transport, and set up in space-restricted job sites.

  • Enhanced Load Security:
    Threaded rams allow lock nuts or saddles, ensuring the lifted load stays securely in place, especially during prolonged maintenance.

  • Reliable Load Return:
    Piston retracts automatically using the weight of the load, reducing operational complexity and increasing safety.

  • Durable & Long-Lasting:
    Built with high-quality materials, these jacks are designed to handle tough, high-pressure environments with minimal maintenance.

  • Versatile Use:
    Suitable for various industries and applications where low-clearance, high-capacity lifting is needed.

The Threaded Ram Load Return Hydraulic Pancake Jacks (PCT Series) are a reliable and practical choice for industries needing compact, powerful lifting solutions with added safety features. Their threaded ram design allows for secure load holding, while the load return operation simplifies retraction and improves jobsite efficiency.

If your project involves confined spaces and heavy loads, the PCT Series delivers the strength, safety, and performance you need. Choose the right capacity for your application and experience hassle-free, professional-grade hydraulic lifting.
