In these kinds of devices, there is an incompressible liquid such as jack oil, or hydraulic fluid, using which there is force multiplication. The main technique, for applying force is essentially a hydraulic cylinder or a screw thread. A floor jack is divided based on mechanism, used for lifting force such as Hydraulic power, or pneumatic power. What are the features of floor jack The main components of floor jack are given as follows Buffer tank or reservoir.
