Hi lift use at home

[crumbo]

Had to remove a concrete footpath at a friends house ...a bobcat was not an option due to the fragility of nearby plumbing....by digging small holes under the sections of concrete to be removed and using my high lift jack, I was able to remove the concrete without damaging any plumbing whatso ever...just a tip if you ever find yourself in that predicament.....any other uses for the high lift at home?....
it beats sweating too much!

I use mine at home a lot, mostly as a hand winch. In fact, I have never really used it for the truck. I pulled up a long stretch of privet, roots and all, with the hi-lift and a couple of sections of truckers chain. Hard work but couldn't get the truck into that spot. Also used it to straighten an old brick wall that had cracked and had started to lean.

used mine to move large boulders and straighten out bent metal. Also good for pulling fence cables.

LOL, I've used my hi-lift more at home than on the trail! Great for lifting decks and ridge beams for leveling purposes!

I used mine once to jack up the gable side of my house, when I had to replace about 12' of sills (damned termites). Old 1-1/2 story house, balloon framed.

Use it when the boat trailer jack sinks into the mud each year. Have also used it for moving some machinery.

I used mine to bring a garage back plumb so it could be stabilized

Removed many fence posts, jacked up my neighbors gardener's big trailer so he could change a flat tire. Got a free queen palm pruning out of that.

X2 , when I'm too lazy to break up the concrete around the base I just use the hi lift and pull them out....

I have used my hi-lift a few times at home. Most recently to lift some 4'X8' raised beds of the ground to re-position them in the garden area. Worked like a charm.

And I thought I invented pulling fence post with a high lift!
