MECHANICAL TRACK JACKS

Mechanical Track Jacks

Power Jacks have been manufacturing track jacks for over 70 years for track lifting, surfacing, lining and many other maintenance procedures. Track jacks are designed to operate safely with a minimum amount of handle effort. The quick “trip” mechanism allow the jacks to be instantly tripped while under load.

Warning: These jacks are intended for use only in railway track maintenance. They should never be used for general purpose lifting.
