The American Forge and Foundry Heavy-Duty Forklift Jack for Serious Industrial Shops

Servicing large industrial forklifts isn't something you do with a standard floor jack. The AFF 3917 is a purpose-built forklift jack rated at 7 tons, made specifically for the kind of work that happens in heavy-duty shops, factories, and fleet maintenance operations where the machines are big and the jobs don't forgive shortcuts. This is the American Forge and Foundry jack that handles what most units won't.

The scissors lift goes from 2.5" all the way up to 16.5", which means you've got near-universal reach across most forklift models you'll encounter. That low 2.5" entry height is the detail that matters most - it gets you under low-clearance machinery and equipment that stops other jacks cold. One jack, one consistent setup, across the wide variety of lifts that roll through your bays.

Industrial-grade casters make repositioning on a busy shop floor easy, and the removable handle keeps transport straightforward. The built-in safety valve guards against overload on every lift - you're not risking a 14,000-lb failure because someone pushed the jack past its limit. High-quality seals and heavy-gauge steel construction keep this heavy duty forklift jack in rotation for the long haul, not just until the warranty runs out.

American Forge and Foundry has been building hydraulic jacks since 1963. Every unit they manufacture is ANSI-compliant and rebuildable, with replacement parts available across more than 300 service centers nationwide. That last part matters: this isn't a throw-away. When you're ready to order, free shipping is included to the lower 48 states, and our team is a call away at (855) 498-2147 if you need anything before it ships.

Applications

Heavy-Duty Industrial Shops

The 7-ton capacity and wide lift range make this jack for forklift work across the full range of large industrial machines that heavy-duty shops handle every day. You're not swapping tools between jobs.

Factories and Manufacturing Facilities

Factories that run forklifts around the clock need a manual forklift jack with the durability to match that pace. Industrial-grade casters and rugged steel construction mean this one keeps up without babysitting.

Fleet Maintenance Operations

Maintaining a mixed fleet of forklifts means dealing with different makes, different clearances, different lift points. The 2.5" to 16.5" range of this heavy duty hydraulic jack covers that variety without a second jack in the rotation.

Forklift Dealerships and Service Centers

Service centers handling multiple brands need consistent, reliable tooling. The AFF 3917 adapts across the forklift models coming through your bays, and with parts available at 300-plus service centers, downtime on the jack itself stays low.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the AFF 3917 fit under most industrial forklifts?

Yes. The scissors lift starts at just 2.5" off the ground, which is low enough to get under most industrial forklift models. It raises up to 16.5", covering a wide range of lift points across different forklift makes and sizes. If you're unsure about clearance on a specific machine, call us at (855) 498-2147 and we'll help you confirm fitment.

Is this a rebuildable jack or a throw-away unit?

It's fully rebuildable. American Forge and Foundry manufactures every hydraulic jack to ANSI standards and maintains a complete supply of replacement parts. With over 300 authorized service centers nationwide, you can get this jack repaired or rebuilt rather than replaced - which is a real difference from many competing forklift jacks on the market.

What does the safety valve actually do?

The safety valve activates if the load exceeds the jack's 7-ton rated capacity. It's an overload protection mechanism that prevents the hydraulic system from being pushed past its limit - protecting both the jack and the operator during a heavy lift.

Does the AFF 3917 ship for free?

Yes. The AFF 3917 ships free to the contiguous lower 48 states. For shipping questions outside that area, call (855) 498-2147 before placing your order.
