Q:Is the toe on the lift forged?
by|Jan 28, 2020
4 Answers
Answer This Question

A:  I cannot say for sure however my sense is that it must be. I have personally loaded my jack with 5000 pounds and while doing that asked myself your question. That was a few years ago, I still haven't broken it and the company is still in business. This is a heavy duty husky machine and I have come to trust it. One caution is when lowering the load be sure to maintain control of the the handle and not let it run away.

      A:  Excellent question, and I don't know for sure. It is capable of lifting 3 tons without ripping the toe off the bar, so it is unlikely to be a casting. It is common practice, for the protection of both the user and manufacturer, to rate such tools below their actual tested failure point.

      A:  Yes

        A:  I wouldn't advise that because it is nearly impossible to keep it front tilting forward as weight is put on the toe.

        A:  Maybe if you use cribbing and don’t lift too much at a time. It depends on how far you are going to move it, how sturdy it is, and how big. I moved a shop by using small trees I fell as rollers.

        A:  It operates like a car bumper jack, so you could lift a corner at a time if you could position it close enough.

          A:  It depends on too many factors to answer but I have used mine to jack the 10 by 16 dock float to replace the skids. It lifts up to 3 tons at one point. I used it today to jack my boat trailer.

            A:  I plan to use zip ties and just snip them when I need the jack. Carry a few extra for about a nickel.

              A:  I HAVE NO CLUE AS TO WHAT YOU ARE ASKING. I JUST CARRY IT IN THE BACK OF MY PICK-UP, OR TIE IT TO MY TRACTOR WITH BUNGEE CORDS!

                    A:  Would not work with a car. Good tool for trucks and tractors.

                        A:  Yes you can use it to jack up almost anything from car to small buildings.

                          A:  I don't think so the bumpers on a sedan would not hold together very well, most of the cars to day have fiberglass bumpers and would break.

                          by|Dec 20, 2018

                            A:  Most cars today have very specific jack points located under the car which would be unreachable by this jack. Even most trucks require jacking from specific points located under the vehicle that would not be reachable using this jack. A few vehicles, like certain Jeep and Toyota models, have strong external bumpers that are accessible for jacking. If you can get the lifting foot under it this jack will exert up to 6,000 pounds of force on it.

                            A:  It can be used on any vehicle as long as it fits under the frame. Beyond cars and trucks I’ve used to lift trailers and even remove fence posts from the ground. Large but very useful. Just be sure it will engage your car frame while vertical.

                                    A:  I am not sure if they are available but have never seen them. I am an engineer and have used this jack more than I like to remember. I can't imagine using it in any mode other than with the load vector within the jack structure. This is a very substantial tool but keep the forces running parallel to the shaft and through the base.

                                                A:  Home Depot does not warranty this product, but they do have a return policy (see website). The manufacturer offers a one year warranty with receipt and serial number according my phone conversation with the Torin customer service rep. They offered to send me a replacement part, but I opted to return the jack instead.

                                                      A:  I'm not familiar with U-Posts, but from a google image search, I'd say yes this would be no problem. You just need a good way to connect the jack to the post. Does the post have holes that you could attach a chain with a hook or quick link? If I can pull tree stumps out of the ground, I'm sure your fence post would be a breeze. Just my 2 cents.

                                                      by|May 4, 2023

                                                        A:  A 1 to 2 foot chain, with two heavy duty hooks on each end.. put one hook in the bottom of the lifting jaw, an wrap the rest of the chain around the post, hooking it pretty tight. Keep the jack as close and straight while Jacking it up.

                                                        A:  YES- it will easily pull a U post out of the ground- all you need is a small piece of chain to attach the jack to the U-post.

                                                          A:  I am unfamiliar with what a U-post is but our jack and lift up to 3.5 tons.

                                                            A:  Sure will. You'll need a connector rope or chain to wrap around the post and foot of the jack.
