Overview
A garage with low-slung trucks or equipment is the setting for this red hydraulic jack. A tilting saddle helps line up the transmission, transfer case or differential, and a safety chain helps hold the load while it is moved.
The AFF 3179A is a manual pump jack with an overload system that stops it being used beyond its rating, plus a long handle that turns all the way around the pump. Its capacity suits light to medium units only, and the listing does not give a maximum lifting height.
Who it's for
Shops and home garages working under trucks, buses and construction machines where clearance is tight. Heavy-duty transmissions beyond the rated load, or work that needs a published top height, call for a different jack.
Pros and cons
- Low profile for tight clearance
- Adjustable saddle with tilt
- Safety chain secures the load
- Overload system limits use
- Maximum lifting height not listed
- Light to medium loads only
- Manual pump takes effort
- Item weight not listed
Performance notes
Hydraulic pumping lifts the saddle, and the tilt adjustment lets the transmission be aligned with its mount before the final push. The overload system caps the load the jack will accept, and the casters and long handle are what make rolling and positioning the load under a vehicle practical.

Frequently asked questions
Can the AFF 3179A lift a heavy transmission from a big truck?
Only light to medium units. The listing states the rating and says the overload system prevents use beyond it, so heavy transmissions are not what this jack is for.
Is the AFF 3179A an electric jack?
No. It is a manual hydraulic jack with a pump handle that rotates around the pump.
What can the AFF 3179A be used on besides transmissions?
The description lists transfer cases and differentials on trucks, buses and construction equipment.
