Floor jack GEKO model for gearbox lifting 3T, brand GEKO, model 5901477168857

Floor jack GEKO model for gearbox lifting 3T is a purpose-built workshop tool designed to raise and support vehicle transmissions during removal, installation and maintenance. The jack provides a 3-ton lifting capacity, a stable base and a lifting saddle shaped for gearbox contact, enabling controlled vertical movement and safe positioning of heavy components in a workshop environment.

Advantages

The GEKO gearbox floor jack combines a compact footprint with a reinforced lifting mechanism to deliver steady lifting up to 3 tonnes. Its stable base and saddle geometry reduce lateral slip when supporting irregular gearbox housings. The jack’s construction is aimed at repetitive workshop use and offers mechanical reliability for technicians and experienced home mechanics performing transmission work.

Suitable for

• Removing and installing vehicle gearboxes and transmissions
• Supporting gearboxes during underbody maintenance and alignment
• Workshop use where controlled vertical lifting up to 3 tonnes is required
• Automotive repair shops, service bays and experienced DIY maintenance

When it may not be suitable

This floor jack is intended specifically for gearbox lifting and general transmission service; it may not be suitable for lifting whole vehicles, bodywork or uneven loads that require axle contact points or vehicle-specific lift adapters. It is not designed for use as a vehicle jack for tire changes where floor jacks with different contact pads or rated lifting points are normally required.

Key specifications

• Lifting capacity: 3 tonnes (3000 kg)
• Design: floor jack configured for gearbox lifting with a shaped lifting saddle
• Base: stable, workshop-oriented footprint for steady support
• Operation: manual hydraulic/pumping mechanism for controlled lift
• Intended use: workshop and service bay gearbox/transmission handling

How to use

Position the jack beneath the gearbox so that the lifting saddle contacts a structurally sound point on the transmission housing. Pump the handle to raise the gearbox slowly while monitoring alignment and nearby components. Use appropriate stands or supports as secondary safety measures once the gearbox is raised. Lower the load in a controlled manner by gently releasing the hydraulic valve after work is complete. Follow workshop safety procedures and maintain clear communication when the vehicle is on lifts or hoists concurrently.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm that a 3-ton lifting capacity meets the weight and balance requirements of the transmissions you service
• Check compatibility of the lifting saddle with the gearbox housings you commonly work on
• Ensure workshop floor space and surface are suitable for the jack’s footprint and safe operation
• Plan for secondary support stands or blocks to secure the gearbox after lifting

Usage recommendations

Use the jack on a flat, solid floor and inspect the lifting saddle and hydraulic mechanism before each use. Always deploy additional supports after raising the gearbox and avoid side loading or sudden shifts. Regularly service the hydraulic components according to workshop practice to maintain stable lifting performance.
