If you have lifted your vehicle halfway up it's rack, that handle could easily fly in each direction a dozen times in a blur of speed. If you dare to try and catch that flying handle, then you will surely break a finger, thumb, palm, wrist or arm. Or worse still, trap your face. I know many people who have had broken jaws and knocked out teeth. Pay heed to this warning and you should not have any problems.

The lifting ratio by the way is almost 30:1, so you can imagine lifting the whole front of a Land Rover would require an effort of only about 50lbs. With a little practise nearly everyone should achieve this effort on the end of the handle.

So why is the high lift so popular amongst those who go off roading? Well, let's think about it. They are easy to use, fast to operate, large amount of travel to easily lift a 4x4 out of deep ruts, will lift at a push about 3 ton (for the first foot - continue trying to lift this sort of load right up the rack and you will bend it!) They are extremely versatile: lifting, pulling, clamping, spreading to name a few, easy to maintain, not too heavy - about 27lbs (12Kgs) and not too expensive. Looked after it will last you a lifetime.

Accessories

To make this versatile tool even more versatile there are a few accessories which one could carry to make full use of the high lift. For the purpose of illustration nearly all the pictures here show us using the "Jackall".
