AFF 536 - American Forge and Foundry Axle Jack - 35-Ton Air Hydraulic Axle Jack

When you're lifting loaded semi axles, heavy farm equipment, or fleet vehicles day in and day out, a slow or unreliable jack isn't just an inconvenience - it's a productivity killer. The AFF 536 is a 35-ton pneumatic hydraulic axle jack built to eliminate exactly that friction. Hook it to your shop air and the unique motor design drives the ram to load faster than a standard pump jack, so you're not standing around waiting for lift. Thirty-five tons of capacity handles most commercial truck axles without any second-guessing about whether the jack is up to the task.

The components that take the most wear are precision machined and inspected before the unit ships. That means the pump, ram, and cylinders are consistent from the first use forward. The air motor uses an aluminum and nylon composite construction that resists corrosion in the kind of environment where jacks get the worst of it. Air-assisted lowering with dual return springs brings the load down in a controlled, steady descent. No sudden drops, no white-knuckle release valve management. The built-in safety overload system prevents the jack from operating beyond its rated capacity - so even if someone tries to push it, it protects both the equipment and the person using it.

American Forge & Foundry has been manufacturing shop equipment since 1963. These are not throw-away tools. Parts are always available, and there are over 300 service centers nationwide backing every unit. The american forge and foundry air jack lineup is used in heavy-duty truck shops, military operations, agriculture, and fleet service because it holds up where cheaper equipment doesn't. The 536 ships ready to work, including a 2-piece handle and three heat-treated extensions covering a wide range of axle heights.

If your applications run heavier, AFF also produces the 544 44-ton air hydraulic axle jack for higher-load configurations. For lighter-duty needs, the American Forge 565E 22-ton air hydraulic axle jack is worth considering, and the full AFF lineup covers hydraulic axle jack 20-ton requirements as well. Whatever the capacity, parts availability and a one-year warranty are standard across the board.

Installation & Setup

The AFF 536 runs on standard shop air. You'll need a compressor delivering 90 to 180 PSI - most shop setups already hit that range without any modifications. Connect your air line, and the jack is ready to go. No wiring, no anchoring, no special installation required.

The large 8-5/8" rear wheels make repositioning easy even on imperfect shop floors. Getting the jack under the axle is straightforward, and the three included extensions let you dial in the saddle height without hunting for aftermarket adapters. Once you're under load, air-assisted lowering with dual return springs handles the descent smoothly - the jack does the controlled release, so you're not babysitting the valve.

Applications

The AFF 536 hydraulic axle jack is built for professionals who lift heavy, lift often, and need it done right the first time. Here's where it earns its keep:

Heavy-Duty Truck Shops

Semi axles and tandem drive configurations push most shop jacks to their limit. The 35-ton capacity handles loaded commercial truck axles without any question about whether the equipment is rated for the job.

Fleet Maintenance Operations

When you're cycling through a large fleet, every minute of lift time adds up. The air motor drives the ram to load faster than a manual pump, so you're moving to the next vehicle sooner.

Agricultural Equipment Service

Tractors, combines, and large implements put serious weight on axle jacks. This one handles it, and the three-piece extension kit covers the varying saddle heights you'll see across different equipment types.

General Heavy Shop Use

Buses, RVs, construction equipment, specialty vehicles - anywhere you're working with heavy axle loads, the AFF 536 gives you the capacity and controlled descent to do the job safely and efficiently.
