High Boy ATV Jack
Project Outline
This proposed project is to design and build a jack for a modified/lifted all terrain vehicle (ATV). Modified ATVs have higher ground clearance than standard ATVs, so most jacks do not offer adequate lift. A jack that will meet the height, stability and functionality requirements is desired.
Defined Requirements
- Deliver an overall lift height of 22 inches.
- Operate with 12 inches of vertical arm travel
- Have an 1100 pound lift capacity
- Be portable by one person (will have wheels, collapsible handle, and fit through a standard door)
- Powered by conventional shop air supplied by a compressor
- Pressure gage for visual on system pressure during operation
- Utilize pressure regulator in the air delivery system
- All air lines securely mounted and shielded from moving parts
- Airbags to be mounted so that they operate in usable limits set forth by manufacturer
