Description

Heavy-Duty Hydraulic Machine Jack for Industrial Lifting & Positioning

The Pfaff MH Machine Jack with Lifting Claw is a professional-grade hydraulic lifting solution designed for the safe lifting, positioning, and maintenance of heavy machinery and industrial equipment. Engineered for demanding workshop, engineering, and industrial applications, the MH series combines exceptional lifting performance with precise load control and robust construction.

Designed to deliver reliable operation in confined spaces and challenging working environments, the Pfaff MH range provides a versatile lifting solution for machinery installation, maintenance operations, equipment relocation, and heavy assembly work.

Available in capacities from 5 tonnes to 25 tonnes, the MH machine jack range is suitable for a wide variety of industrial lifting applications.

Ultra-Low Lifting Claw for Restricted Access Applications

One of the key advantages of the Pfaff MH Machine Jack is its extremely low-profile lifting claw, allowing operators to lift machinery and equipment where minimal ground clearance prevents the use of conventional lifting devices.

This makes the MH range ideal for:

  • Low-clearance machinery lifting
  • Industrial equipment positioning
  • Machine installation work
  • Plant maintenance operations
  • Heavy assembly applications
  • Equipment relocation projects

The compact claw design provides excellent access beneath machinery bases and structural equipment where precision lifting is required.

Operates in Any Position for Maximum Flexibility

The Pfaff MH jack is engineered for complete operational flexibility and can be used in virtually any position, making it highly effective in awkward, confined, or restricted workspaces.

This versatility allows engineers and maintenance teams to safely lift and position heavy loads in environments where standard hydraulic jacks may be impractical.

Typical applications include:

  • Confined maintenance areas
  • Machinery alignment tasks
  • Industrial production facilities
  • Restricted-access lifting operations
  • Engineering workshops
  • On-site equipment installation

Its adaptable design helps improve operational efficiency while maintaining safe load control throughout the lifting process.

Smooth Hydraulic Lifting with Precision Load Control

The MH series uses a manual hydraulic hand pump system to provide smooth, controlled lifting with minimal physical effort from the operator.

For enhanced safety and positioning accuracy, each jack incorporates a precision lowering valve, enabling gradual and controlled descent of the load. This is particularly important during:

  • Machinery positioning
  • Equipment alignment
  • Controlled lowering operations
  • Precision installation work
  • Maintenance and repair tasks

The smooth lowering function allows operators to position heavy machinery accurately while minimising the risk of sudden movement.

Integrated Overload Protection for Enhanced Safety

To protect both the operator and the hydraulic system, the Pfaff MH Machine Jack includes an integrated pressure control valve that prevents hydraulic overload.

This important safety feature:

  • Protects internal hydraulic components
  • Prevents excessive system pressure
  • Extends operational lifespan
  • Improves lifting safety
  • Reduces maintenance requirements

The overload protection system helps ensure reliable long-term performance even under demanding industrial usage.

Robust Steel Construction for Industrial Durability

Manufactured for heavy-duty industrial environments, the MH series features a stable all-steel construction engineered for long service life and dependable performance.

Additional durability features include:

  • Hard-chromium plated piston rod
  • Excellent wear resistance
  • Corrosion-resistant hydraulic components
  • Heavy-duty structural frame
  • Industrial-grade hydraulic system

This rugged construction ensures the jack can withstand the demanding conditions commonly encountered in industrial maintenance, engineering, and machinery moving operations.

Large Base Plate for Improved Stability

The Pfaff MH Machine Jack is designed with a large, stable base plate that provides excellent load support and reduces the risk of tipping during lifting operations.

This enhanced stability is particularly valuable when:

  • Handling uneven load distribution
  • Lifting heavy machinery
  • Working in confined areas
  • Performing precision positioning tasks
  • Operating under maximum load conditions

The stable base design helps maintain safe lifting conditions throughout the operation.

Enhanced Handling & Transport Features

Selected models within the MH range include additional usability enhancements to improve handling and positioning flexibility.

MH 50 & MH 100 Models

The 5t and 10t versions are fitted with:

  • Practical carrying handles
  • Slewing lifting claws
  • Improved positioning flexibility
  • Easier on-site transport
  • MH 250 Model

The 25t version includes:

  • Integrated transport carriage
  • Easier movement despite higher weight
  • Improved workshop mobility
  • Enhanced handling convenience

These features help improve operational efficiency during machinery moving and lifting tasks.

Ideal for Machinery Installation & Industrial Maintenance

The Pfaff MH Machine Jack range is widely used across industries requiring safe, controlled lifting and positioning of heavy machinery and equipment.

Typical applications include:

  • Machinery installation
  • Industrial maintenance
  • Equipment relocation
  • Production line servicing
  • Plant engineering
  • Heavy assembly work
  • Manufacturing facilities
  • Mechanical engineering workshops

Its combination of low-profile lifting capability, precision control, and industrial durability makes it an essential tool for professional lifting operations.

Safety & User Instructions

  • Always confirm the load does not exceed the rated capacity.
  • Use only on firm, level ground to maintain stability.
  • Ensure the load is centred on the claw or head before lifting.
  • Operate the hand pump smoothly to avoid shock loading.
  • Lower loads slowly using the precision lowering valve.
  • Never work beneath a load without approved mechanical supports.
  • Inspect regularly for hydraulic leaks, damage, or wear.
  • Keep the piston rod clean and lightly lubricated.
  • Store in a dry, clean environment when not in use.
