Forward RJ40 Features

4,000 lb Lifting Capacity

The RJ40 delivers a 4,000 lb lifting capacity that handles a wide range of light to medium-duty vehicles, from compact sedans to small trucks. This capacity allows technicians to lift specific vehicle sections independently, enabling quick and precise service without moving the entire vehicle off the main lift.

Compact Sliding Design

The RJ40's compact profile and smooth sliding mechanism allow it to glide effortlessly along four-post lift runways. Technicians can position the jack exactly where it's needed, reducing repositioning time and improving overall workflow efficiency. The design enables seamless transitions between tasks throughout the workday.

Heavy-Duty Construction

Built from high-quality, heavy-duty materials, the Forward Lift RJ40 is engineered for daily use in demanding service environments. The sturdy frame provides stable, consistent lifting performance with every job. Durable construction reduces maintenance needs and minimizes downtime, keeping your shop operations running efficiently.

Secure Locking Positions

The RJ40 features secure locking positions that provide stability during lifting operations. Once engaged, the locking mechanism holds the jack firmly in place, allowing technicians to work confidently on elevated vehicle sections without concerns about unexpected movement or shifting.

Non-Slip Platform

A textured non-slip platform keeps vehicles firmly in place during repairs, reducing the risk of movement while working on tires, brakes, or suspension components. This safety feature helps maintain high service standards and provides peace of mind for technicians and customers alike.

Enhanced Four-Post Lift Versatility

The RJ40 Rolling Jack transforms your four-post lift into a more versatile service station. By enabling wheel-free access on one end of the vehicle while it remains on the lift, technicians can perform a broader range of maintenance tasks without repositioning vehicles or using additional equipment.

Forward RJ40 Applications
