Designed by firefighters, the Hi-Lift First Responder Jack is the tool of choice for Extrication, Heavy Rescue, Forcible Entry, RIT/RIC procedures, as well as Stabilization and Shoring.
It is made from steel, cast iron, and high strength aluminum and is available in sizes of 36 inch, 48 inch, and 60 inch.
It offers leveraging, lifting, and winching options up to 4660 pounds.
The aggressive 36 square inch base, which rotates 360 degrees, provides a safe and effective platform while offering a wide array of rescue options including cribbing, chains, and straps.
The jack features a durable powder-coated bright yellow finish on the main components with fire red actuating pieces.
It also includes luminescent features for use in IDLH and low light atmospheres.
Hi-Lift Jacks have a rated load capacity of 4660 pounds.
The ASME B30.1-2004 requires that the jack have a safety factor of 150 percent times the rating requirement.
Each Hi-Lift Jack comes standard with a shear bolt that will shear to prevent the jack from being used on loads greater than 7000 pounds.
ASME tests and many years of manufacturing, sales, and technical experience have proven that 7000 pounds is a safe maximum limit for operation of this type of jack.
