This hi-lift jack is a beast!
Folks, I am not getting any younger. I am 71 now and I encountered an unexpected problem. I built a raised garden bed a few years ago. I built it to last using steal and wood with both 2 by 4 and 4 by 4 legs. It was perfectly level when I placed it next to my fence. It is 2 feet off the ground. It is 8 feet long two foot wide and two foot high above the legs. It is filled with dirt and has been very successful when growing plants.
The planter sits upon pavers on own side and large rock trim on the other. My neighbor did work on the other side of the fence and it caused the rock on my side to diminish. As a result the planter is starting to twist on one side because the ground is no longer level.
This planter is so heavy that I could not lift it and I doubt that several strong young men could not either.
This Jack easily lifted the low corner to enable me to level the ground with a 2 by 4 under the short leg and allowed me to reinforce that leg with a 4 by 4.
My problem is solved and the cost was less than what a professional would have charged to fix my raised garden.
Now, I should warn owners that this Jack is heavy and might cause the user physician harm if users do not follow the safety directions.
Before using this product it must be lubricated with the correct lubricant and the user must ensure that it is placed on a level and stable footing before use.
This is a lift that is capable of lifting fence posts out of the ground or lifting vehicles to change tires with ease; however, safe use is required to prevent the possibly of injury.
If you use this lift properly, following the instructions provided, you will be absolutely amazed at the power and results that this tool provides.
Enjoy!
