Yes, hydraulic jacks can fail.....my experience Posted by Herb Hirsch [Email] (#114) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Herb Hirsch) on Mon, 27 May 2013 10:23:36 In Reply to: hydraulic floor lift failure, TML [Profile/Gallery] , Sat, 25 May 2013 10:20:37 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Years ago I had a Sears 3-ton hydraulic floor jack fail. I jacked up the car and placed a jack stand underneath.
After I had been under the car a while I came out. The hydraulic floor jack had collapsed completely; the jack stand was holding the car up. In case you're wondering.....I ALWAYS use a jack stand now.
By the way...cinder blocks are not jack stands.
