The OTC 50181A Truck Clutch & Flywheel Jack represents a breakthrough in heavy-duty clutch service technology. This highly innovative lifting equipment is engineered specifically for the removal and installation of clutch assemblies from heavy-duty trucks and commercial vehicles. Featuring a patented linkage design, this professional-grade jack eliminates the dangerous and strenuous manual lifting of heavy clutch assemblies weighing up to 250 lbs, transforming a challenging task into a safe, efficient, and precise operation.
Built for professional truck shops and fleet maintenance facilities, the OTC 50181A incorporates a unique mechanism that raises the load from a horizontal to vertical position as the hydraulic pump is cycled, providing smooth, controlled movement throughout the entire service procedure. The jack returns the clutch for installation to the exact position from which it was removed, ensuring perfect alignment every time and dramatically reducing installation time and frustration.
The OTC 50181A features a revolutionary patented linkage system that fundamentally changes how clutch service is performed. As you operate the hydraulic pump, the innovative mechanism transitions the heavy clutch assembly smoothly from horizontal to vertical orientation, maintaining perfect control throughout the entire range of motion. This eliminates the physical strain and safety risks associated with manually supporting and maneuvering heavy clutch assemblies during removal and installation.
The jack's 360° swivel head provides complete rotational freedom, allowing technicians to easily align the clutch with the flywheel and transmission input shaft from any angle. Combined with swivel casters on the base, the entire unit offers exceptional maneuverability around the vehicle and service bay, making it easy to position precisely where needed despite the substantial weight of the clutch assembly being serviced.
Designed specifically for the demands of heavy-duty truck clutch service, the OTC 50181A handles both 14-inch and 15-1/2-inch clutch assemblies with ease, accommodating the most common sizes found in Class 6, 7, and 8 commercial vehicles. With a robust 250 lb capacity, this jack confidently supports even the heaviest truck clutches, including dual-disc assemblies and high-torque applications.
The jack's compact 15-inch minimum height allows technicians to access the clutch area even on vehicles with side fairings and low ground clearance. When fully raised, the centerline of the clutch reaches 38-1/4 inches off the floor, providing ample working height for comfortable alignment and installation. The footprint measures 32-3/8 inches long by 24-1/2 inches at the widest point, offering a stable base without consuming excessive shop floor space.
Each OTC 50181A comes complete with a 2-inch splined shaft with a 1-1/4-inch pilot that aids in precise alignment during installation. This alignment shaft centers the clutch disc on the flywheel and guides the assembly onto the transmission input shaft, eliminating the guesswork and repeated adjustment attempts that slow down clutch service jobs.
