    would also add to this. carry a sorry lengthy odd chassis with a hook on one end. chain your axles to the frame so you do not need to lift it that high as the axles will only lower as far as the chain will allow. it will make changing a tire or most things where you might need to use this devise much safer. the higher you have to lift the more unstable things become

    IMPORTANT NOTE: If you're on a trail, chock the wheels first to help prevent the vehicle from rolling, just in case your e-brake slips. This is especially important if the vehicle is on an incline or decline. A pair of heavy-duty wheel chocks is only about $20 on Amazon (or use a log in a pinch).

    Good technique, especially when lowering. I'd like to add that a Hi-Lift can run away when lowering the load if the operator loses grip on the lowering stroke. If it runs away the handle starts going up and down on its own, very fast, and likewise very dangerous.

    It's estimated by our government that more than 70,000 people are injured each year in jack related accidents. In many cases it's because the vehicle moved or shifted causing the jack to fail. The first things to do are to make sure your vehicle is in PARK or First Gear, Brakes are set and the wheels are choked to prevent the vehicle from moving. Then you can get your jack out!! You might also invest in a stabilizer for the Hi-Lift type jack.

    • @Catrik
      @Catrik 7 лет назад

      Sake A
      A lower gear ratio will have a stronger holding force. Depends on the vehicle and transmission if first or reverse is lower, but I think either one holds enough. Also you might consider how the stick positions, in my car if I need to go inside to do something, I am less likely to accidentally push it out from first gear.

    Are you suppose to keep the door open so if something does happen, you don't destroy the door or panel? I've seen a few images of people leaving their door shut and the lift slips and crushes the door. Least with the door open it won't destroy your door or panel..

  • @dennisfant2620
    @dennisfant2620 3 года назад +1

    I have used this jack when I used to hard core off-road. It is worthless. I've used it on the side if a hill repairing a broke axle it sucked because I had ratchet straps the front axle as short as I could but still had to lift it way too high to get the 36" tire off. Also I tied my winch off to a tree to keep from moving down hill. Also when you have to use it if your rig is any way shape or form offcamber the top of that Jack will eat the crap out of your side or front. I have gone with a harbor freight aluminum racing jack. Removed the wheels fabbed a skid plate with turned up ends and bolted it to the jack to use as a base. About an 1.5 longer on each end and about an 1.5 wider on each side. You can thrown rocks,logs, sand and anything else you can think of under it. Now you lift the axle and not the whole suspension also. Watch out when you start lifting, it doesn't "roll" as the lifting arc goes up. So you have to watch and compensate for the arc.. That's just my thoughts from using the high lift jack. I don't like them. I've seen them kick out..

    • @dennisfant2620
      @dennisfant2620 3 года назад

      @@AaronLives34 idk how I would post a picture on here. But this might help. Since you you have great mechanical skills. This is what I done. Go to Harbor freight and get an aluminum race jack. Remove the rear swivel wheels, but keep the front wide wheel on. Either get a piece of 1/4" aluminum or a piece of 3/16" mild steel plate. I have steel on one jack and a piece of aluminum on the other for both of my rangers. I have a Tig machine I done the aluminum one with. Get Some 1/8x 1.500 angle iron to replace the back swivel wheels where they bolt to the jack itself. A 1' piece of angle iron will be enough for the back. Where the wheels bolted on. I made the base plate about 1.5" or 2" wider than the jack itself. Too wide and it's hard to store. The base plate on the rear I made it about a 1/2 longer so I could weld a kicker on plate so as it would ramp over stuff as I pulled it back. You can't get too high because of the handle. I did the same thing on the front of the plate also. But made it a little longer. Somewhere around a 45 degree on both kickers. On the front end of the plate I cut it to where when I welded the kicker on it touched the front wheels.
      Example 0/. Make sure the front wheels are still on the plate when you make and bolt on the front tabs welded to the plate. I leveled up the jack before I marked and bolted on the rear legs. Once you get it like you want then get to welding those legs to the base plate. Use it at home to see how it works. The jack don't "roll" forward as you jack it up on the plate like it would with wheels. I think you will get the jist of it when you lay this on your welding table and get the CPU going.. You throw rox logs anything under if need be for height or keep from sinking in the mud. Hope this helps.. Like I said I have one in each of my chase rangers. Be safe and hope to see you on the trail some day..

    NEVER EVER PUT YOUR HAND BETWEEN THE JACK AND THE VEHICLE!!!! IF you are concerned about it hitting the vehicle, put a towel or jacket or something like that between the jack and body of the vehicle. And as Lumpy stated, DO NOT jack a vehicle up w/out chocking the wheels. Trust me, if it moves, it can crush you, your friends and to a lessor concern anything close by.

      Eli Noblin I hate that, but yes that's normal. It needs to have somewhere around 150 lbs of force or more on the lip to work like in this video. Remember that when you are jacking your vehicle down, once the vehicle is standing on its own weight, the jack will drop since there's no force being applied on it. You can hold on to the lever to keep it from slamming down hard.

    Am I'm missing something?
    You are out on a trail and so you jack it up real high (with this small jack footprint) and then you are all ready to apply massive torque to the lug nuts in order to remove the wheel, (i.e. you're changing a real-life tire) with the vehicle in the air. Right?
    There are no 'properly place chokes' mentioned, no 'make sure to have the emergency brake firmly applied' mentioned, no 'break-free the lug nuts while vehicle is ON THE GROUND mentioned.
    Mentioned: "use leverage without applying any leverage".
    You likely mean well. Yet if this demonstration is taken as the end-all authoritative instructions for 'what to do if'
    someone is going to get hurt.

      Step 1: lift with jack
      Step 2: place large logs under axles of vehicle
      Step 3: place smaller sticks over top of larger stick
      Step 4: light fire with wd-40 and leave
      There you have it, you no longer have a vehicle to fix, therefore the problem is solved

      These things are stupidly dangerous. The purpose is to quickly lift something to a height where it can be propped with blocks or logs but unfortunate in the field one doesn’t have access to those items. I’ve used them only to move 500 lb steel parts in place. Even then I hated using these things.

    Keep your hand between the standard and the car body. If there's a failure, you'll break your hand. But you'll save that paint job. Seems a little backwards to me. Thanks - Lumpy

    About four inches of pool noodle on the top of the jack and maybe some tape will eliminate the need to stick your hand in there

    use the stock jack and 2 blocks of wood.cost factor 0 and safer by far.and no extra weight. guns dont kill people, hi lift jacks kill people.
