American Forge & Foundry 3598 - 10 Ton Air Operated End Lift
Most shops have a floor jack. Not every shop has something that can lift the entire front or rear end of a heavy-duty truck in one shot. That's the gap the american forge and foundry 3598 fills. This 10 ton air operated end lift handles what your standard equipment can't - full-end raises on large trucks, buses, farm vehicles, and heavy construction equipment, without repositioning, without guessing, and without eating up your time.
The extra-wide stance is the key. Saddle arms spread from 36" to 50" to straddle frames of all sizes, and those arms reverse for low-clearance work when you're dealing with a load that sits close to the ground. Connect it to your shop air at 200 PSI and you've got full 10-ton capacity on demand. Three-way air valve control gives you fine, precise movement going up and coming down, not just an on-off toggle. That matters when you're working under a loaded chassis.
Safety isn't an afterthought here. The automatic mechanical safety lock engages at five positions between 17-1/2" and 50", so the lift stays where you put it without you having to babysit it. Two pneumatic rear tires and a front swivel caster make rolling it into position easy on a busy shop floor. At 750 lbs shipped weight, this is a serious piece of equipment built for serious work. It ships free to the lower 48, and our team is standing by if you have questions before you order.
If you're comparing it to alternatives like the hein-werner automotive 10-ton air-operated end lift or the mahle 10 ton air end lift, the AFF 3598 holds its own on every spec that matters to a working shop. American Forge & Foundry builds these for the long haul, and this one's no exception.

Installation & Setup
Air Supply Requirements
This air end lift jack requires a dedicated shop air supply capable of sustaining 200 PSI to achieve full 10-ton capacity. That's a firm requirement - undersupply the air and you won't get the rated lift. Most commercial compressor setups in a working shop will meet this spec, but confirm your line pressure before you put this into service. The unit includes two fittings: one for your main shop air line and one for a Schrader valve connection, giving you flexibility in how you plumb it.
Positioning and Saddle Setup
Saddle arm width adjusts between 36" and 50" to match the frame width of the vehicle you're lifting. Set the width before you position the lift under the vehicle. If your load sits low to the ground, flip the saddle arms to their reversed position for reduced height access. The three-way valve handles the lift from there. No special mounting or floor anchoring is required - the pneumatic tires and swivel caster give you the mobility to position it exactly where you need it.
Safety Lock Engagement
The mechanical safety lock engages automatically at five preset heights. You don't need to manually set it. Once the lift reaches a lock position during ascent, it catches. Use the three-way valve to lower past a lock point when you're ready to bring the load down. Never bypass or disable the safety lock mechanism.
Applications
Lift the entire front or rear axle end of class 6, 7, and 8 trucks in a single setup. Wide saddle adjustment handles varying frame widths without repositioning.
Bus frames demand a wide, stable base. The extra-wide stance and adjustable saddle arms give you the spread you need for full-end raises on passenger and commercial buses.
Tractors, combines, and large ag vehicles with low-clearance frames benefit from the reversible saddle arm design. This american forge and foundry jack gets under what other lifts can't reach.
Heavy construction machines require serious capacity and a stable platform. The 10-ton air end lift delivers both, with five automatic safety lock positions to keep the load secure while you work.

Frequently Asked Questions
What air pressure does the AFF 3598 need to reach its full 10-ton capacity?
The AFF 3598 requires a 200 PSI shop air supply to achieve its full 10-ton (20,000 lb) rated capacity. You'll want to confirm your compressor can sustain that pressure before putting this lift into service. The unit comes with two air fittings - one for a standard shop air line and one for a Schrader valve - giving you a couple of options for connecting to your setup.
How wide do the saddle arms adjust, and can they handle low-clearance vehicles?
The steel saddle arms adjust between 36" and 50" to accommodate a wide range of frame widths on trucks, buses, and heavy equipment. For low-clearance loads that sit close to the ground, the saddle arms are reversible - flipping them gives you reduced height access so you can get under frames that would otherwise be out of reach.
How does the safety lock work on this air end lift?
The AFF 3598 uses an automatic mechanical safety lock that engages on its own at five preset heights between 17-1/2" and 50". You don't need to manually set it - as the lift rises through each lock position, it catches automatically. To lower past a lock point, use the three-way air valve to release and descend in a controlled manner. Never attempt to disable or bypass the safety lock mechanism.
Does this end lift ship free, and how long does delivery take?
Yes - the AFF 3598 ships free to the lower 48 states. Given that the unit ships at 750 lbs, it will arrive via freight carrier. Delivery timelines vary by location and carrier. Call us at (855) 498-2147 before ordering if you need specific lead time information for your area.
What types of vehicles is the AFF 3598 designed to lift?
This 10 ton air operated end lift is built for large, heavy-duty vehicles that a standard floor jack can't handle. That includes class 6-8 trucks, commercial and transit buses, large farm tractors and agricultural equipment, and heavy industrial or construction machinery. The wide saddle adjustment and extra-wide stance make it practical across all of those applications.
