Hi-Lift Jack company produces two types of mechanical jacks, often referred to as Handyman Jacks, farm jacks, or trail jacks. Even though we produce nineteen different jack models of various sizes and colors, they are all built off of two different foundations; the All-Cast Jack and the Cast and Steel Jack.
The only physical difference between our All-Cast and Cast and Steel Jacks is the material of which four specific parts are made. The components that make up the All-Cast Jack are manufactured from high-yield and tensile-strength grades of malleable and ductile castings while the Cast and Steel Jack models contain a combination of stamped, high-strength steel parts and casting parts. The standard bar on all Hi-Lift models is made from custom, hot-rolled steel I-beams that are cut to size, then punched to reveal the oval shaped holes that run the length of the jack.
Some components of the Hi-Lift® Jack can be made of either steel or casting without compromising strength or safety. Because Bloomfield Manufacturing Company (our parent company) is a well-equipped metal fabricator, we can produce steel parts more economically than the casting parts. The result is a more affordable price for the Cast and Steel Jack models without compromising its strength or load capacity.
