As a powerful small lifting tool, the screw jack is commonly used for vertical lifting operations under normal conditions. However, when faced with some special working conditions, many people may wonder: can the screw jack be used horizontally?

The answer is yes, which is also one of the core differences between screw jacks and hydraulic jacks. The internal structure of hydraulic jacks relies on hydraulic oil transmission and is greatly affected by gravity. Once the placement direction is changed, the flow direction of the internal hydraulic oil will be disrupted, making it impossible to maintain stable lifting pressure, thereby affecting equipment performance and even causing malfunctions.

The screw jack adopts a pure mechanical transmission structure, with tightly engaged core components and strong stability, not restricted by the direction of gravity. Whether placed upright, horizontally, or upside down, the internal mechanical structure will not deviate or fail, ensuring the normal operation of the parts at all times.

It should be noted that when using the screw jack horizontally, simply place the operating handle on the outside to easily complete the lifting operation and meet the lifting requirements under special working conditions.
