Working of the Electric Jack:

Electric jack is installed in the lower portion of the car. It is located at a short distance from the tires. It has got a good covering from a black box which protects the jack from the ground, sand, water and other sources. When the car gets stuck in the desert, this covering does not penetrate more inside the sand due to its flat structure. At the time when the car has taken some depth inside the sand, it can be recovered by a simple step of operating a switch. To lift the car in desert was never an easy task. But with a usage of electric jack it is now possible. A driver can just operate a switch with 2 options of increasing or decreasing height. Once when a driver has started operating the switch by pressing the button which gives the lift to the car, battery delivers the power to the motor. This power is being transformed by the connecting wires. The location of the battery and the motor will be a bit far from each other so high quality wires with proper masking is ensured. As the motor gets the power from the battery, it starts turning. This turning movement of the motor allows the cord of the jack to turn which in return lifts the car. Motor is connected to the cord in such a way that its turning movement will be directly proportional to the raising of the jack. Once the car has started gaining height a driver can keep an eye that how much lift is required. He can also reduce the height in any case with a help of the other button available in the switch. As the desired lift is obtained, driver can simple stop the use of a switch. He can then put the gear into drive (for automatic) or first gear (for manual) and start his journey again. The electric jack will have a less force per ton than a traditional hand jack but it turns at a much faster rate. In other words, the lift we get will be slow. It may take some extra minutes to lift the car in comparison to the traditional jack. Though the motor turns at a faster rate yet the lift takes time to reach the desired height. The working of an electric jack is simple and free from complexities. It is simple to use a switch which makes the life for travellers in a desert easy.
