Overview
The Ranger RTJ-1 TransJak™ is a professional-grade telescoping transmission jack with a 2,000 lb first-stage capacity and 1,000 lb second-stage capacity, built with over 200 pounds of heavy-steel construction. This two-stage design extends to a 73-inch lifting height, making it ideal for use under full-rise vehicle lifts. The fully-adjustable universal saddle tilts two ways and slides in two directions to adapt to virtually any passenger car or light truck transmission and transaxle assembly. Equipped with double-sealed hydraulics, heavy-duty chain anchors, a fail-safe overload system, and a hardened chrome-moly ram, the RTJ-1 delivers the reliability and safety that transmission service professionals demand.
