Ranger RP-20T 20 Ton Shop Press - 5150496

The RFJ-3TP 3-ton professional series garage floor jack is perfectly suited for the auto shop or your home garage. Just over 19” of lift makes this a remarkably fast-lifting jack that’s perfect for fast-moving shops and private users that want a commercial-grade jack in the comfort of home.

Lightweight Design for Ease-Of-Use

The RFJ-3TP is a versatile lifting machine designed to meet a variety of everyday duties. Capable of handling a full 6,000-lb. load, this trusty floor jack is made out of heavy-gauge steel to ensure maximum durability under tremendous pressure. As with every Ranger floor jack, the RFJ-3TP exceeds all ANSI standards in performance and safety.

Lowering this jack is as easy as twisting the handle, thus activating a small gear that controls a pressure value; as pressure is released, the floor jack gently lowers with no effort from the user. With overload protection and a fully sealed hydraulic system to prevent contamination, the lift mechanism requires virtually zero maintenance over its lifetime.

This jack is designed to handle most residential vehicles, including light trucks and SUVs. With a 5.25” in collapsed profile, this isn’t one of our super-low-profile models, but it is ideal for average sedan heights and heavier-duty vehicle types. It’s also exceptional lightweight, so you get an incredible power-to-weight ratio that surely explains why this floor jack is a staple in garages worldwide.

While there are plenty of floor jacks on the market, when you buy with us, you’re investing in the same, painstakingly over-engineered and ruggedly constructed components found on our car lifts. This quality is evident even on our light-duty jacks. For a better, safer lift, trust in Ranger, the name that has earned its reputation as the best floor jack and automotive service equipment provider worldwide. Ranger insists you always set jack stands under your vehicle after jacking up the car, so be sure to use the right stand for the weight of your vehicle.

What our Experts Think

• Regular Cleaning: After each use, clean the jack to remove dirt, debris, and any spilled hydraulic fluid. This prevents contamination and ensures smooth operation.

• Inspect Hydraulic Fluid:

  • Check Fluid Level: With the saddle fully lowered and the jack on level ground, remove the filler screw. The hydraulic fluid should be level with the bottom of the fill hole. If it's below this level, add quality hydraulic fluid as needed.

  • Use Appropriate Fluid: Always use quality hydraulic fluid. Avoid brake fluid, alcohol, detergent motor oil, dirty oil, or any fluid other than recommended hydraulic fluid to prevent internal damage.

• Lubricate Moving Parts:

  • Apply light grease to the saddle post and the bottom of the saddle to ensure smooth movement.

  • Grease the lower end of the handle where it rotates in the handle socket.

• Purge Air from Hydraulic System:

  • If the lifting arm doesn't raise after pumping, air may be trapped in the hydraulic system.

  • To purge air:

    • Open the release valve by twisting the handle counterclockwise.

    • Pump the handle rapidly 6-8 times to expel air from the oil passages.

    • Close the release valve by twisting the handle clockwise and pump the handle.

    • If the lifting arm raises, the jack is ready for use. If not, repeat the procedure.

• Test Safety Features: Periodically test the safety overload system to ensure it functions correctly, preventing the jack from lifting loads beyond its capacity.

• Proper Storage: Store the jack in a dry, clean environment, avoiding exposure to extreme temperatures or humidity, to prolong its lifespan.
