Overview
From 3 tonne to 5000 tonne
Apex is a stockist and dealer of hydraulic jacks and cylinders from 3 tonne up to 5000 tonne capacity, and develops customer-made jacks and cylinders where a standard unit will not do the job.
The pump range covers hand pumps and electric power packs for both double-acting and single-acting cylinders. All jacks operate at 700 bar working pressure with a 150 mm stroke, and a tilting saddle is provided on every jack to avoid eccentric loading.
These are the same jacks Apex uses in its own static pile load testing work, which is a reasonable measure of what they are built to take.

Questions
Hydraulic Jack Supplier in UAE — questions answered
What is the difference between single and double acting jacks?
A single acting jack is driven hydraulically in one direction only and returns under load or spring force. A double acting jack is driven hydraulically both ways, which gives positive retraction and is preferred where the jack must be pulled back without an external load to do it.
What pressure do Apex jacks work at?
700 bar working pressure across the whole standard range, from 500 to 5000 tonne.
Can Apex build a jack to a specific requirement?
Yes. Customer-made jacks and cylinders are developed alongside the standard range. Send the required capacity, stroke, closed height and duty and it can be quoted.
Why does the saddle tilt?
A tilting saddle lets the jack seat squarely against a load that is not perfectly level. Without it, an out-of-square bearing surface puts eccentric load into the piston, which is how jacks get damaged. It is fitted as standard on all Apex jacks.
