A bridge jack lifts one end of a vehicle already sitting on a four-post lift, so the intuitive assumption is that it only needs half the vehicle's weight. That assumption is wrong for the vehicles this jack exists to serve. A loaded truck, a bus or a commercial chassis rarely carries its centre of gravity at the midpoint, and when it does not, one axle can be carrying substantially more than half the total. Even a 30,000 lb vehicle can present an axle load that a jack rated at exactly half would be under.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eRating this jack at 18,000 lbs is what gives you that margin. It is not headroom for its own sake — it is the difference between checking your vehicle's actual axle weights and hoping they are even.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch2\u003eWill It Fit? — And What It Needs\u003c\/h2\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe lift it rides on.\u003c\/strong\u003e BendPak's specification sheet lists the RBJ18000 as suited to the HDS-40 Series four-post lift. Bridge jacks are matched to runway spacing, not chosen freely, so this is the first thing to confirm rather than the last. See the note below about a discrepancy in the source documents on this point.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSupport base width\u003c\/strong\u003e is 45\" — the dimension that has to sit correctly across your lift's runways.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDrive-over height.\u003c\/strong\u003e This is what determines whether the jack can sit under a vehicle already parked on the runways, and it varies with which pads are fitted: 9\" with the short arm pads, 9.75\" with the short top pads, 10.5\" with the tall arm pads and 11.25\" with the tall top pads. Choose your pad configuration against the lowest vehicle you service, not the tallest.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLifting height\u003c\/strong\u003e follows the same four configurations: 19\" with short arm pads, 19.75\" with short top pads, 20.5\" with tall arm pads and 21.25\" with tall top pads.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReach.\u003c\/strong\u003e Arm pad reach adjusts from 48.5\" to 63.75\"; top pad reach from 8\" to 39.5\". Between the two pad styles that is a wide span of contact positions — necessary, because a heavy-duty chassis rarely offers a lift point where a car does.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePower: none.\u003c\/strong\u003e There is no electrical requirement. The jack runs entirely on shop air — 125 PSI, drawing up to 25 CFM — through an air\/hydraulic pump. That means no circuit to run out to the lift and no cord across the bay, but it does mean your compressor has to keep up. If your air system is already marginal at 125 PSI, size that before the jack arrives.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYour responsibility.\u003c\/strong\u003e Confirming lift compatibility, your vehicle's actual axle weights, and your air supply is the buyer's job. We are happy to go through it with you before you order.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch2\u003e7,200 PSI, and Why the Hydraulic Pressure Is the Interesting Number\u003c\/h2\u003e  \u003cp\u003eMaximum operating hydraulic pressure is 7,200 PSI. That figure is what allows a jack of this physical size to raise 18,000 lbs — force is pressure multiplied by cylinder area, so a higher working pressure buys capacity without a proportionally larger cylinder. The practical consequence for a shop is that the jack stays low enough to roll under a vehicle on the runways, which a lower-pressure design of the same capacity would struggle to do.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch2\u003eSteel Contact Pads and Three Lock Levels\u003c\/h2\u003e  \u003cp\u003eFour steel contact pads support the axle and the vehicle's lift points. Steel rather than a softer material is the right call on a heavy-duty jack: at these loads a compliant pad deforms, and a deforming pad is one that can walk out of position. The jack itself is low-profile, so the pads still fit under low-stance vehicles despite the capacity.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThree lock positions set the working height. This matters more than it sounds. Different operators, different vehicle clearances and different ceiling heights all push toward a different ideal working height, and being able to lock at a chosen level rather than only at full extension is what keeps a technician from working with their arms above their head for an hour. Control is by foot pedal, so both hands stay free and on the vehicle.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch2\u003ePerfect For\u003c\/h2\u003e  \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eHeavy-duty truck and bus shops\u003c\/strong\u003e doing wheel-off work on vehicles already up on a four-post lift.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFleet maintenance operations\u003c\/strong\u003e where axle weights vary by load and a jack rated at exactly half the vehicle is not good enough.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eShops adding wheel service capability\u003c\/strong\u003e to an existing heavy-duty four-post lift — brake, tire and suspension work that a four-post alone cannot do.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eBays with no spare electrical capacity.\u003c\/strong\u003e Air only; no circuit to install.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e  \u003ch2\u003eWhat's in the Box\u003c\/h2\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe jack ships with the rolling bridge assembly, the four steel contact pads, the air\/hydraulic power unit and the foot pedal control.
