Frequently asked questions
Common questions about GKS-PERFEKT from 3G Electric.
What is the difference between the GKS-PERFEKT air/hydraulic and pneumatic toe jacks?
GKS-PERFEKT toe jacks are offered in air/hydraulic and pneumatic configurations. Air/hydraulic models use compressed air to drive a hydraulic pump section, producing high force from a compact body; examples include the 5-ton, 10-ton, 15-ton, and 20-ton units with minimum lift heights from 5/8 in to 1 3/16 in. The pneumatic 30-ton model uses air-powered actuation directly and has a 1 19/32 in minimum lift. Both types are steel-bodied and intended for low-clearance lifting. Selection depends on required capacity, available starting clearance, and whether the site has compressed air at the required pressure and flow.
What load capacities are available in the GKS-PERFEKT machine roller range?
The GKS-PERFEKT front- and rear-support machine roller range includes units rated at 13,200 lb and 44,000 lb. The 13,200 lb model has a 4 3/8 in deck height, measures 6 3/4 in by 6 3/4 in, and includes eight rollers plus a pulling handle with tow eye. The 44,000 lb model has a 7 1/8 in rubber-padded deck height, measures 9 7/8 in by 9 7/8 in, and also uses eight rollers. Both are finished in red and are designed to be used as front and rear support sets for moving skidded or palletized loads across flat floors.
What hydraulic pressure does the GKS-PERFEKT corded electric pump unit produce?
The GKS-PERFEKT corded lightweight electric hydraulic pump unit operates on 120V AC with a 1/2 hp motor and delivers a maximum operating pressure of 7,542 psi. It uses a 2-way valve and is suitable for powering single-acting hydraulic cylinders and tools. When matching this pump to GKS-PERFEKT toe jacks or other hydraulic equipment, verify the cylinder or tool pressure rating and oil volume requirements against the pump's output. The unit is intended for applications where manual pumping is not practical or where consistent pressure is required over multiple lift cycles.
How do I select a GKS-PERFEKT toe jack for a low-clearance lifting task?
Selection depends on three primary factors: the load to be lifted, the available clearance under the load, and the power source available. GKS-PERFEKT toe jacks range from 5 to 30 tons. Minimum lift heights start at 5/8 in for the 5-ton and 10-ton air/hydraulic models, 1 in for the 15-ton, 1 3/16 in for the 20-ton, and 1 19/32 in for the 30-ton pneumatic unit. Confirm that the toe thickness fits the gap under the machine base or skid, that the capacity exceeds the load with an appropriate safety factor, and that air supply or hydraulic pump capacity matches the jack's requirements.
Are GKS-PERFEKT toe jacks and machine rollers available with specific part numbers for reordering?
Yes. Each GKS-PERFEKT item in the 3G Electric catalog is listed with its manufacturer part number (MPN) and UNSPSC code where applicable. Examples include MPN 1-10181 for the 5-ton air/hydraulic toe jack, 1-10182 for the 10-ton, 1-10183 for the 15-ton, 1-10184 for the 20-ton, and 1-11140 for the 30-ton pneumatic model. Machine roller MPNs include 3-10209 for the 13,200 lb unit and 3-11061 for the 44,000 lb unit. The electric pump unit is listed under MPN 2-10199. These identifiers allow cross-reference against existing plant records and reorder processes.
What is the deck height and roller configuration of the GKS-PERFEKT 44,000 lb machine roller?
The GKS-PERFEKT 44,000 lb front- and rear-support machine roller has a rubber-padded deck height of 7 1/8 in and measures 9 7/8 in long by 9 7/8 in wide. It uses eight rollers and is finished in red. The unit is designed for moving heavy machinery and equipment where a higher deck height is acceptable and the load requires the full 44,000 lb capacity. It is typically used in pairs or sets with front and rear support units to distribute weight and allow controlled translation across flat industrial surfaces.
