Transmission Jacks
Transmission jacks, also commonly referred to as gearbox jacks, are used to safely support, position and remove transmissions during vehicle servicing and repair. Designed for controlled lifting and precise alignment, they are essential for handling heavy drivetrain components in automotive and commercial workshop environments.
GEMCO supplies professional transmission jacks designed for reliability, stability and safe operation in busy garages, dealerships and commercial vehicle workshops. Our range supports accurate positioning and controlled handling of transmissions and gearboxes across a wide range of vehicle types.
OUR RANGE OF Transmission jacks
Transmission jacks form part of a wider workshop lifting and handling ecosystem, supporting safe component removal alongside vehicle lifts, trolley jacks and specialist workshop equipment. Selecting the correct transmission jack depends on component weight, vehicle type, access method such as pits or lifts, and workshop workflow.
Professional systems are designed to integrate into these environments, providing controlled lifting, precise positioning and safe handling of drivetrain components across automotive and commercial applications
Transmission Jacks for Professional Workshop Use
Transmission jacks are engineered to reduce manual handling and improve safety when working with heavy components. Adjustable saddles, tilt-and-turn adaptor systems and telescopic lifting cylinders allow technicians to position gearboxes with precision during removal and installation.
From compact 300 kg units to heavy duty 2 tonne transmission jacks, the range supports both passenger vehicles and commercial applications. Pedal-operated pumps, dead man’s release systems and overload protection valves ensure controlled operation and safe handling in demanding workshop environments.
Hydraulic Transmission Jacks for Controlled Lifting
Hydraulic transmission jacks provide smooth and controlled lifting, allowing technicians to raise and lower gearboxes with precision. Features such as telescopic cylinders, pneumatic assistance and pedal-operated pumps enable efficient operation while keeping both hands free for positioning components.
These systems are designed to support safe and accurate handling of heavy drivetrain parts, improving efficiency and reducing strain during servicing.
Gearbox Removal and Installation
Transmission jacks are specifically designed to support gearbox removal and installation tasks. Adjustable support saddles and adaptor plates allow secure positioning of transmissions, ensuring stability during lifting and lowering.
Tilt-and-turn adaptor systems enable fine adjustment, allowing technicians to align components accurately during installation and reduce the risk of damage or misalignment.
Capacity and Workshop Applications
Transmission jacks are available in a range of configurations to suit different workshop environments. Models with low minimum heights and long stroke lifting systems are particularly suited to use with inspection pits, allowing technicians to access and position transmissions from below the vehicle.
Other transmission jacks are designed for general workshop use, providing stable lifting and precise positioning for gearbox removal and installation across a wide range of vehicle type
Stability and Safe Component Handling
Handling transmissions requires stable and well-balanced lifting equipment. Transmission jacks are designed with wide base frames, multi-leg support systems and lockable castors to ensure stability during operation.
Secure saddles and controlled lifting systems help maintain balance throughout the lifting process, reducing the risk of movement or instability while handling heavy components.
Safe Use of transmission jacks
Transmission jacks should always be used on stable, level surfaces and operated within their rated capacity. Components must be securely positioned on the support saddle before lifting or lowering.
As with all lifting equipment, safe working practices should be followed at all times. Equipment should be regularly inspected and maintained to ensure safe operation and compliance with workshop safety procedures.
