TEMCo Hydraulic Container/Machine Toe Jack (2.5 Ton - 5 Ton) Lift Capacity TH0025

The toe jack operates extremely smoothly and has great manors while lowering the load. Its very easy to control the speed of descent of the load. That is very important to safe load handling. The build quality is really good.

Thick foam holding it dead still in a large box. Paint in perfect condition. Delivery guy left it on its side for a few hours, and no leaks! Picked up my 5300lb forklift like it's nothing. Handle is comfy, lowers the weigh slowly and well controlled. Even includes all new seals for a rebuild, and a 1 year no-matter-what return warranty. I will absolutely buy from this manufacturer again. Update: Been holding the front end of my Chevy 1500 for 2 weeks while i figure out a frame repair - hasn't sank AT ALL. Jackstands are still untouched. This is possibly the best quality hydraulic device i own. I feel bad getting it dirty...

I used (and will continue to use on an as-needed basis) this toe jack to lift and aid in the relocation of a metal turning lathe. It works very well, and feels reassuringly sturdy as it supports the weight. I mean, I still wouldn't stick my fingers underneath whatever I am lifting, but you do you. The swiveling pump handle receptacle is a VERY nice feature, as heavy objects of this sort are often placed against/near walls, other machinery, etc..., and having the option to orient the handle into an area where there is space for it to be swung/cycled is absolutely appreciated. As with most (all?) bottle-type jacks, the release can be touchy when lowering a load, but this jack does provide as sensitive of a release as I have experienced. With some patience, a fairly finite level of control can be achieved when setting down whatever heavy object you've managed to lift. Great solution for "just how the heck am I supposed to lift THAT??" situations, especially if used in conjunction with other lifting devices (use this jack to create enough clearance underneath the object to get another jack/lifting strap/whatever underneath it).

I've needed to change the location of the leveling feet on my Southbend for 4 years. There effort to do so was more than it was worth. 10 minutes with the jack and it was done. No questionable lifting. Easy as eating pie. I've been meaning to get my Bridgeport off its moving skids for longer. No easy way to do it until this arrived. 15 minutes later it is on its leveling feet. The unit is heavy duty. Well built. There handle is a single piece, none of this contect 3 tubes together to make a wobbly lever. Solid feel. The wall thickness of the lever is better than most jacks I've seen so the cuts for opening and closing the valve are sturdy. Every thing about this is quality. I just wish I had invested in it earlier. Oh, they had it in the shippers hands the same day I placed the order. Great customer service.

It's refreshing that you can still buy quality made products from local companies. I'm not sure if these jacks are American made, but the quality and durability can't be beat. TEMCo really stands behind the jack, with a 5 year warranty. What other company tells you to use their product with the option to return it for any reason within a full year for a refund! I'll be honest -- I don't usually need a toe jack, but I did for a single project, so I ordered this. The thought of returning it crossed my mind, but once it arrived and I saw the quality in not only the jack, but even the UPS proof packaging, I decided it was more than just a purchase - it was an investment. It's one of those things that when you need it, you're glad you have it.

worked great to lift the foundation joists of my house. it is super heavy, but i guess it needs to be.

Works great. This is one of the better toe jacks I’ve ever used.

Used the jack for lifting a generator and adjusting the isolators. It worked great with no issues. The swivel handle is a must and made it easier. Will buy a second to be prepared for larger projects.

Good jack. It's expensive but it's well built. I been putting it through hell and it's held up no problem. Updated after a few years of use: I have lifted 10-14000lb transformers with it one side at a time to put on skates and it’s help up last few years.

Jack is good but lost horseshoe clip on handle waited half hour calling temco and no answer having trouble finding replacement horseshoe clip for lever !!!!!
