Workshop Equipment

Workshop equipment is the fixed gear a service bay is built around — what lifts the vehicle, presses the bearing and proves the torque. Chicago Pneumatic covers all three. Lifting runs from low-profile trolley jacks and high-lift bottle jacks up to air hydraulic jacks and a workshop crane, with matching stands, all compared below. CP86XXX shop presses use a two-step stroke — quick approach, then a fine stroke for load tuning — on a floor-anchored steel frame. Torque work runs on CP89 mechanical torque wrenches or the CP89 eTorque electronic version, and dead 12 V batteries on CP Boost jump starters. Spares and shop fittings sit under workshop equipment accessories; the full range is on the CP workshop equipment page.

Lifting: Jacks, Stands & Cranes

Pick by how the load gets raised and what holds it once it is up.

Model	Type	Design detail
CP80 series	Trolley jack	Super low pick-up height, double pump, foot pedal for fast approach
CP81 series	Bottle jack	Large base plate, one-piece chromed piston with double guidance, threaded extension
CP85 series	Air hydraulic jack	Air-powered piston, low profile for buses and chassis trucks, handlebar locks in 3 positions
CP82 series	Jack stand, light vehicle	Ratchet height adjustment, self-locking handle and pin, ductile iron column
CP82 heavy duty	Jack stand, heavy vehicle	Welded steel, multi-position support tube with safety pin, large V-shaped saddle
CP83100	Workshop crane	Double pump, feet locking, dead-man release valve, reach to 53.1 in.

Capacities vary by variant inside each series — check the model list above the grid for the rating you need.

Shop Presses: Hand or Air Pump

Both press ranges share the frame: welded steel, two floor-anchor holes per foot, and two removable bed rods on a winch so one operator can reset the bed height. The difference is the drive. The pump-driven presses add an air foot pump for faster cycles; the standard frames are hand operated. CP lists six sizes, CP86101 through CP86751.

Proving the Torque

The mechanical CP89 holds 4% to ISO 6789-1:2017 with front-handle adjustment and a mechanism rated to 25,000 cycles; the eTorque version reads ±3% torque and ±2° angle on 12 LEDs, with CPLinQ on the TC models. Keep them honest with gear from maintenance and calibration. For powered wheel torque, cross to cordless torque wrenches.

Common Questions

Which workshop press do I need? Size the frame to the heaviest press-fit you do and leave headroom. If you press bearings all day, take the air pump version — the foot pump saves a lot of arm over a shift.

What is a CP86301? One of the six CP86XXX press frames, mid-range in the series, with the same two-step stroke, anchored feet and winch-adjusted bed as the rest. Call for capacity and bed dimensions on a specific variant.

Do you sell parts for this equipment? Yes — press rods, saddles, jack seals and shop fittings, with exploded views in the parts and diagrams hub.

Can the air jack and press run off shop air? Both are air operated off a normal shop line. Size the drop and the compressor for whatever else is running at the same time.
