Triumph SJ-35 Sliding Bridge Jack — 3,500 lb for NSS-8 Family 4-Post Lifts
The Triumph SJ-35 Sliding Bridge Jack turns a 4-post storage lift into a true service lift. It slides along the runways of a Triumph NSS-8 series lift, letting you raise the wheels off the runway for brake work, tire changes, suspension service, and wheel-bearing maintenance — all without having to take the vehicle off the lift. The jack carries 3,500 lb per lift cycle and is operated by a manual hydraulic hand pump (pump included). A 3-position locking latch holds at full-rise and two intermediate heights, with stackable adaptors (1.5" and 5") extending reach up to 16.5" for taller vehicles. Powder-coated to resist rust.
Why It's Different: Without a bridge jack, a 4-post storage lift is limited to undercarriage access only — you can't lift the wheels off the runways for tire/brake/suspension work. The SJ-35 unlocks the second half of your lift's usefulness: it slides anywhere along the runways and lifts either end (or one corner) of the vehicle while the lift remains in its locked position.
Best For: Owners of Triumph NSS-8, NSS-8SQ Classic, and NSS-8XLT 4-post lifts who want to do their own brake, tire, wheel, suspension, or driveline service in their garage without buying a separate service lift.
⚠️ Lift compatibility: Designed for current Triumph 8,000 lb NSS-8 family 4-post storage lifts — specifically the NSS-8, NSS-8SQ (Classic), and NSS-8XLT. Not guaranteed to fit other brands of 4-post lifts. The runway gap must be approximately 38" (matches the NSS-8 family's 37" between-runway spec).
⚠️ Note on availability: Some Triumph dealers report that as of May 1, 2025, the SJ-35 must be purchased together with a new NSS-8 family lift and cannot be ordered standalone. Confirm current availability before ordering.
⚠️ 3,500 lb maximum capacity — do not exceed. Confirm the wheel-end weight of your vehicle is within rating before lifting.
⚠️ Hand-pump operation: the jack is manually pumped by hand — no electrical/pneumatic supply required. Hydraulic oil may need to be added to the pump on initial setup.
⚠️ Watch the linkage pinch points during operation per Triumph's manual.
Features
Unlocks Wheels-Off Service on a Storage Lift
Without a bridge jack, a four-post lift only gives undercarriage access, because the wheels stay planted on the runways. The SJ-35 slides anywhere along the runways and lifts either end or one corner of the vehicle while the lift stays locked, so brake jobs, tire changes, suspension work, and wheel bearings all become possible without a second lift.

Lifts one end or one corner
Hand-Pump Operation — No Air or Power Needed
The jack runs on a manual hydraulic hand pump, included, so there's no air line to route and no outlet to find. For a home garage without shop air, that's the difference between using the jack and not. A 3-position locking latch holds at full rise and two intermediate heights, released by a lever.

Adapters Extend Reach to 16.5"
Stackable height adapters in 1.5" and 5" build up to 16.5" of total reach for taller vehicles and awkward lift points. Contact pad adapters with rubber inserts protect the vehicle's contact surfaces, and nylon glide pads let the jack slide smoothly along the runway tops. The collapsed height of 4.75" keeps it easy to store and move when it's not in use.
