Duff-Norton 8-Ton Hydraulic Bottle Jack – Series 8H9

Description :
This vintage Duff-Norton Series 8H9 hydraulic bottle jack is a compact, industrial-grade lifting device rated for 8 tons of capacity. Manufactured in Pittsburgh, PA, this unit reflects mid-century American engineering, featuring a heavy cast-iron base, cylindrical hydraulic chamber, and integrated lifting piston. Designed for automotive, rail, or construction use, the jack operates via fluid pressure and manual pumping. Its weathered surface and intact label offer industrial authenticity for both practical restoration and display. While untested, it remains a strong example of early hydraulic lifting technology.
