Frequently asked questions
Common questions about SIMPLEX from 3G Electric.
What is the maximum lifting capacity available in Simplex lifting bags?
Simplex lifting bags are available with capacities up to 77 tons, as seen in the B77A model. This bag measures 38 in x 38 in and provides a maximum lifting height of 20 1/2 inches. The bags are constructed from Kevlar® with Neoprene, offering puncture resistance and durability. They are designed for controlled high-force lifting in industrial maintenance, construction, and rescue operations. For lower capacity needs, models like the B6A offer 6.4 tons with a 12 in x 12 in footprint. The range allows selection based on load and space constraints.
What components are included in a Simplex low height ram and pump set?
A Simplex low height ram and pump set typically includes a low-profile hydraulic cylinder and a hand pump. For example, the ST1002A set features a 100-ton nominal capacity cylinder with a 2 1/4 in stroke and a P82 hand pump. The ST101A set includes a 10-ton cylinder with a 1 1/2 in stroke and a P42 pump. These sets are designed for lifting, pressing, and maintenance tasks in confined spaces where standard jacks cannot be used. The cylinders have a low height to fit into tight clearances. The hand pumps provide manual operation without external power.
What materials are used in Simplex lifting bags?
Simplex lifting bags are constructed from Kevlar® with Neoprene. This combination provides high tensile strength, puncture resistance, and flexibility. The Kevlar® reinforcement helps the bag withstand high internal pressures and external abrasion, while the Neoprene coating offers resistance to oils, chemicals, and weathering. This construction is used across the range, from the 6.4-ton B6A to the 77-ton B77A. The bags are designed for repeated use in demanding environments such as construction sites, industrial plants, and rescue operations.
What are the typical applications for Simplex hydraulic cylinders and pumps?
Simplex hydraulic cylinders and pumps are used for lifting, pressing, and positioning heavy loads. The low height ram and pump sets are particularly suited for maintenance tasks in confined spaces, such as lifting machinery for shim placement or pressing bearings. They are also used in construction for lifting structural components and in rescue operations for extrication. The manual hand pumps allow operation in areas without power. Capacities range from 10 to 100 tons, with strokes from 1 1/2 to 2 3/8 inches, covering a variety of force and travel requirements.
