Forward RRJ45G Features

4,500 lb Lifting Capacity

The RRJ45G delivers a robust 4,500 lb lifting capacity, providing ample strength for passenger cars, light trucks, and SUVs. Every unit is proof load tested to 6,750 lb (1.5 times rated capacity) at the factory, ensuring reliable performance and peace of mind during service operations.

Hydraulic Manual Pump Operation

Unlike pneumatic lift bridges that require shop air, the RRJ45G operates with a hydraulic manual pump that needs no compressed air connection. This self-contained design makes it perfect for home garages, mobile service vehicles, or any location where compressed air is unavailable or inconvenient.

Single Point Push Button Control

Raising and lowering the lift bridge is simple with the single point push button control. This intuitive interface allows technicians to operate the unit quickly and efficiently, reducing setup time and improving workflow in busy service environments.

Two Secure Locking Positions

The RRJ45G features two locking positions that provide secure, stable working heights for different service tasks. Mechanical locks engage automatically to prevent unexpected lowering, keeping technicians safe while working beneath vehicles.

Durable Powder Coat Finish

A professional-grade powder coat finish protects the RRJ45G from corrosion, chemicals, and daily wear. This durable coating maintains appearance and structural integrity through years of heavy shop use, resisting chips, scratches, and rust.

Adapters Included

The RRJ45G comes complete with lifting adapters included in the box. These adapters accommodate various vehicle lift points, allowing technicians to safely position the bridge under different vehicle types without purchasing additional accessories.

Forward Engineering Excellence

Forward lifts are designed by U.S. engineers with over 29 years of combined experience in automotive lift design. Forward owns their designs rather than using off-the-shelf components, ensuring every product meets strict quality and durability standards through rigorous cycle testing.
