Hydraulic Jack Rentals

Where and How Are Hydraulic Jacks & Cylinders Used?

Hydraulic jacks are used wherever heavy loads must be lifted, moved, or aligned with extreme control. WB Equipment provides jack rentals to support operations like:

• Bridge lifting and bearing replacement

• Heavy machinery relocation

• Concrete post-tensioning

• Structural realignment

• Silo and tank lifting

• Pipeline construction and maintenance

• Shipbuilding and marine operations

• Mining and tunnel construction

For example, during a bridge rehabilitation project, a contractor might rent a series of 100-ton lock nut jacks to lift deck sections while bearings are replaced. In industrial plants, jacks are used to level heavy presses or compressors during installation or maintenance.

What Accessories Are Needed?

To operate hydraulic jacks safely and effectively, a full system is required. WB Equipment offers all necessary accessories along with its rentals, including:

• Hydraulic Pumps – Electric, air, or manual pumps generate the pressure needed to operate the jack.

• High-Pressure Hoses – Steel-braided hoses that connect pumps to jacks.

• Manifolds and Valves – For controlling multiple jacks simultaneously.

• Pressure Gauges – Allow operators to monitor force output and ensure safe operation.

• Locking Collars or Shims – To maintain the load after the hydraulic pressure is removed.

• Remote Controls – For long-distance or synchronized lifting.

• Custom Skids or Frames – Provide safety and stability during lifting operations.

WB Equipment ensures every rental package includes not only the gear, but also instructions, safety recommendations, and setup assistance.

Industries That Use Hydraulic Jack Rentals in the U.S.

Hydraulic jacks are indispensable across a wide range of industries, especially when permanent equipment ownership isn’t practical:

• Construction & Civil Engineering

• Transportation Infrastructure

• Power & Utilities

• Oil & Gas

• Mining & Tunneling

• Shipbuilding

• Heavy Manufacturing

• Aerospace & Defense

• Historic Building Restoration

Renting hydraulic jacks allows these industries to scale their lifting capacity up or down based on the project timeline and load requirements, without investing in rarely used capital equipment.

Interesting Facts About Hydraulic Jacks

• Synchronized Lifting Systems allow for lifting multiple points at once—essential for large or uneven loads.

• Many of WB’s hydraulic jacks are low-profile, able to fit in spaces less than 2 inches high while lifting 100+ tons.

• Hydraulic jack rentals are often bundled with load monitoring equipment, including digital load cells for NIST-traceable readings.

• In earthquake-prone areas, jacks are used to realign or lift foundation slabs without demolishing structures.

• Jacks with center holes can be used not just for lifting but also for tensioning cables and rods, making them dual-purpose.
