Frequently asked questions
Common questions about AME from 3G Electric.
What is the load capacity range of AME forklift jacks?
AME forklift jacks are available in 4-ton and 7.5-ton load capacities. The 4-ton model (SKU 829X60, MPN 14350) provides a minimum lift of 2 1/4 inches and a maximum lift of 16 inches. The 7.5-ton model (SKU 829X61, MPN 14370) provides a minimum lift of 2 1/4 inches and a maximum lift of 16 19/32 inches. Both are steel-bodied and handle-actuated. These jacks are used for lifting forklifts and other heavy equipment during maintenance. When selecting an AME forklift jack, match the load capacity to the equipment weight and confirm the required lift height falls within the stated range.
What types of AME wheel dollies does 3G Electric supply?
3G Electric supplies AME single-wheel dollies in hydraulic and truck-wheel configurations. The hydraulic model (SKU 829X59) has a 1.5-ton maximum weight capacity and a 6-inch maximum lift height, with no tilt range. The truck-wheel dollies include a 400 lb capacity model with 45-degree tilt (SKU 33W457, MPN 71320) and a 300 lb capacity model with 4-inch maximum lift and 45-degree tilt (SKU 33W456, MPN 71300). These dollies are used for lifting, positioning, and moving heavy wheels during maintenance. Selection depends on wheel weight, required lift height, and whether tilt adjustment is needed for alignment.
What AME tire mounting and demounting tools are available?
AME tire mounting and demounting tool sets include lug nut removers and wheel pullers. The stainless steel lug nut remover (SKU 829X35, MPN 67301) has an overall length of 12 3/10 inches and height of 3 1/2 inches. The steel wheel puller for truck tires (SKU 829X57, MPN 71655) is 17 inches long. Another steel wheel puller (SKU 829X56, MPN 71650) is 16 3/4 inches long and designed for removing wheels and rims from steel truck tires. These tools provide leverage for separating stuck components during tire changes. Buyers should select based on tire type, rim material, and the specific removal task.
What materials are used in AME wheel service tools?
AME wheel service tools are constructed from steel or stainless steel. The forklift jacks have steel bodies. The truck wheel dollies and wheel pullers are steel. The lug nut remover (SKU 829X35) is stainless steel. These materials are selected for durability and resistance to wear in shop environments. The specifications for each AME product list the material type, allowing buyers to verify compatibility with their application. For example, stainless steel may be preferred for corrosion resistance, while standard steel is common for high-load structural components. 3G Electric provides material data for each AME SKU in the catalog.
How does 3G Electric support AME product procurement?
3G Electric supplies AME products with documented specifications, including load capacity, lift range, tilt range, and material. Buyers can request quotes for specific AME SKUs by providing the model number and quantity. 3G Electric handles logistics and shipping globally, with lead times dependent on stock availability and destination. For AME items not listed in the current catalog, 3G Electric can investigate sourcing options. The company serves plant engineers, maintenance managers, and procurement specialists who require verifiable technical data for equipment selection. 3G Electric does not manufacture AME products; it distributes them as part of its industrial equipment catalog.
What should I consider when choosing an AME wheel dolly for truck tires?
When selecting an AME wheel dolly for truck tires, consider the maximum wheel weight, required lift height, and tilt range. The AME truck wheel dollies have capacities of 300 lb and 400 lb, with tilt ranges of 45 degrees. The 400 lb model (SKU 33W457) does not specify a maximum lift height, while the 300 lb model (SKU 33W456) has a 4-inch maximum lift. The hydraulic single-wheel dolly (SKU 829X59) has a 1.5-ton capacity and 6-inch lift but no tilt. Match the dolly's capacity to the heaviest wheel you expect to handle, and confirm the lift height is sufficient for the vehicle's wheel mounting height. Tilt range aids in aligning the wheel with the hub during installation.
