Is this the same one as the harbor freight one?

Almost.

Both jacks are rated to 3 tons and similar lift height. This has swivel casters.

Thanks for posting. Would all four wheels being swivel cause a potential unsafe condition when lifting? I'm thinking shifting the load when using the jack. Maybe I'm overthinking it.

I think four swivels could definitely be an issue and I’ve never seen a jack like that. The one above only has a pair of swivels.

Apparently I’m tired. Thanks for the patient reply and handholding.

I have the harbor freight one and like it except for its lack of front swivel castors. It’s just a bit annoying moving it around the shop. I really only use it as a shop jack as it’s pretty big, heavy and bulky to store in my 200. I have thrown it in the back of my Taco and used it on a trail. Sure beat using a high lift or bottle jack.
