he jack is a fail-safe device. Even in the event of hydraulic seal, the mechanical grip jaws prevent the jack from moving downwards and will hold the jack at the same position on the trestle rod. In case of a hose rupture during lifting, lifting should be stopped and the hose replaced. The jacks do not slip downwards with the load even if the hose bursts.
