Hydraulic gearbox jack – 110–190 cm, 500 kg capacity
This WilTec hydraulic gearbox jack is built for proper garage use and keen DIYers alike — a solid, no-nonsense way to lift transmissions, fuel tanks and other bulky bits. It gives a broad lifting range, smooth hydraulic action and thoughtful features so you spend less time faffing about and more time getting the job done.
Key benefits
The foot pedal makes operation dead easy, raising the jack smoothly and with fine control. Four steel swivel castors mean you can roll it under the car and nudge it into exactly the right spot without breaking a sweat. The 4‑arm saddle holds odd-shaped parts securely, and the pressure-relief screw lets you lower loads safely and get to a lower working height when needed.
Practical use cases
- Removing and fitting gearboxes on a two-post or four-post lift without having to hold the unit in awkward positions.
- Supporting fuel tanks or exhaust sub-assemblies during repairs or replacements.
- Keeping bearings, crossmembers or other heavy components steady while you line up bolts and torque them up.
Things worth knowing
The jack runs on a 28 mm piston and sits on four steerable 75 mm solid-steel castors for long-term durability. With a lifting range of 110–190 cm, it’s well suited to higher lifts and most workshop set-ups. It’s rated to a maximum of 500 kg, which covers the majority of passenger-vehicle gearboxes — but do double-check the weight of larger transmissions before you go ahead.

If you’re wondering whether this jack will handle very heavy commercial gearboxes, it’s worth checking the actual weight first — this model tops out at 500 kg. For everyday garage work and weekend tinkering, though, it takes the strain and gives you far better control when installing or removing parts. No faffy set-up or fiddly hydraulics to worry about, and the foot pedal means both hands stay free for the job. A tidy bit of kit that speeds things up and makes life a lot easier.
