Standard Duty Ratchet Jacks
Quick Info: Standard Duty Ratchet Jacks - Mechanical - Hand
Operated - Load Capacities: 5 & 10 tons
Application: For use in the field and remote locations. Use

restrictions are a priority. Riggers, structural movers, and maintenance crews
get more use out of the heavier models. Telephone, light & power, and
railroad companies rely on the lighter weight ratchet jacks.

Multiple-tooth pawls provide safety and strength.
Manufactured with high quality materials; drop-forged alloy steel, heat-treated components, adjustable spring links, and precision machining.
Plated springs resist corrosion. No compromise dual lift points enables lifting from the toe or head at the full ton lift capacity.

each time you pump.
