RATCHET JACKS

Ratchet Jacks, 5 to 20 Ton Capacity

In this type of jack the familiar lever and fulcrum principle is used to lift and lower the load. The downward stroke of the lever raises the rack one notch. A pawl then slips into place to hold the load while the lever is raised to take another “bite”. This is a very simple but safe and reliable construction, for moving, lifting and bracing loads of all kinds. Ratchet jacks are widely used in oil fields, shipyards, mining operations, construction, railroads, and heavy-duty industrial maintenance. These are the most versatile, general purpose jacks available. Rugged construction permits safe, efficient jacking.
