Hi Pete,
Tangye made a range of heavy duty jacks as well, Cooper Metals had some for “jacking” the baler and the shear when they jammed, forklift job to move and position them, they also done toe jacks to enable the knock out axles to be removed on low loaders, another hernia job moving those about! Cheer’s PeteThey made some nice heavy duty jacks that were light in weight for their size, we had some at the quarry. The bus company garage where my brother in law works had some as well but because they ‘were old’ the management scrapped them along with several Duff Norton ratchet jacks and an Oxford arc welder that just required a fuse in the plug! The welder was replaced by one from Machine Mart!
Pete.
I still have a couple of the Lake and Elliot jacks, if you don’t chuck them around and crack the base they are good jacks.
