An exhaust recovery air bag jack from Thunder, the TDR04016 is the perfect tool for recovering a four wheel drive vehicle stuck in deep sand or other areas where conventional jacks may sink, rated to a 3,000kg safe working load with no moving metal parts for improved safety.
An exhaust jack is the perfect tool for recovering a four wheel drive vehicle stuck in deep sand or other areas where conventional jacks may sink, or when the vehicle is simply too low for any other jack to fit.
If the vehicle is stuck up to the chassis rails, a thin area can be dug out just below the rails to allow for the deflated air bag jack to slip underneath. The design and included parts of the air bag jack then allow for it to be connected to the exhaust of the vehicle to inflate the jack. Once raised, the area underneath the vehicle's wheels can then be filled in or have tracks placed below to provide extra grip, making for a painless recovery.
With no moving metal parts, the exhaust jack is safer than hi-lift jacks, and can be packed away in the supplied bag for convenient storage.
No moving metal parts: Provides a safer alternative to hi-lift jacks by eliminating moving metal components that carry higher injury risk during operation.
Inflates using vehicle exhaust: Connects directly to the vehicle's exhaust to inflate the air bag jack, requiring no separate pump or power source.
Suited to deep sand and low-clearance recovery: Effective in situations where conventional jacks would sink or where the vehicle is too low for other jack types to fit.
Nylon core with PVC coating: Provides a durable, puncture-resistant air bag construction.
Complete recovery kit: Includes the recovery air bag, protective mat, puncture repair kit, heavy duty storage bag, 2 piece hose with fitting attachments, and a pair of leather protective gloves.
Compact storage: Packs away into the supplied bag for convenient storage in the vehicle.
