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.
