Hydraulic Jacks…
Dear Master Sergeant Half-Mast,
Our unit’s motorpool has a 10-ton hydraulic jack
that’s used to lift HMMWVs, 21/2- and 5-ton trucks.
What NSN do we use to order the jack’s hydraulic fluid?
Also, what criteria do we use to inspect the jack for
its lifting capabilities?
SFC M.S.F.
Dear SFC M.S.F.,
Use NSN 9150-00-935-9807 to get one quart of hydraulic fluid for your unit’s
10-ton jack. NSN 9150-00-935-9808 gets a gallon and NSN 9150-00-935-9809
gets 5 gallons of hydraulic fluid.
When you use a 2-, 4- or 10-ton hydraulic jack to lift a piece of equipment, you
don’t want to worry about it being able to carry the weight. To be sure and safe,
inspect the jack like it says in Para 4b(a) and Appendix E of TB 43-0142,
Safety
Inspection and Testing of Lifting Devices.
y’know, even if this
jack had hydraulic
fluid, how do we
know it
can
lift
the truck?
good
question.
I’ll email
msg half-
mast.
c’mon,
jack. you
gotta
lift
this truck!
I can’t!
I’m low on
hydraulic
fluid.
S
livers of glass, shards of
steel, bricks, rocks and
rubble. That’s the land-
scape of the urban battle-
field. If you have to crawl
through it, you’ll soon tear
up your knees and elbows.
You need the protection of
knee and elbow pads.
The pads are made of
nylon cloth-covered foam
protected by a high-density
polyethylene shell. The
inside is lined with a
moisture wicking fabric
for comfort. Webbing
straps with hook-and-pile
fasteners keep the pads
securely in place. The
pads come in woodland
camouflage and also in a
yellowish-brown color
known as coyote.
