In industrial production and daily life, jacks play a crucial role as a common lifting tool. In general, jacks are mainly used for lifting heavy objects in the vertical direction, but in some special work scenarios, jacks that can achieve lateral pushing are also needed. In fact, horizontal jacks do exist and have a wide range of applications.

For example, a screw jack can achieve lateral movement. It uses a horizontal jack as the lateral movement actuator, forming a 90 ° angle with the vertical jack. This design allows it to not only vertically lift and lower objects, but also horizontally translate cars or loads in specific scenarios. Compared to worm gear, worm gear, and rack structures, it is simpler, lighter, and more economical, and is often used as a car tool or machine repair tool. In car maintenance, when it is necessary to adjust the vehicle position in narrow spaces, the lateral movement function of the screw jack can come in handy, helping maintenance personnel easily move the vehicle to the ideal maintenance position.

Horizontal jacks play an indispensable role in many fields such as construction engineering, fire rescue, civil engineering, power maintenance, bridge repair, equipment dismantling, etc., providing effective solutions for various complex operations.
