Hi Guys.
While I know there are a couple of after market 20 ton jack offerings, I believe early and mid production Tiger I's carried 15 ton jacks. Does any one know if there is an after market version, or have any drawings/info?
Thanks in advance,
Simon.

I too would be interested in a 15 ton jack.

Hello Chaps

I think that Mike Stannard does them.

Thank you Kent, very useful. Lee, I don't think he does!

Too bad Mike settled for the 20 ton version, too. Now there are three manufacturers (Armorpax, Winstone and Stannard) of 20 ton jacks and none of the 15 ton version, so we are totally out of luck.
Maybe someone can talk Giesswerk into making one? They make a 10 ton version and seem to have no problem with custom making.I know people having had non standard track links made. Costs a fortune, of course, but a well made, working brass and steel jack can really make a difference.

Cheers,

Hi Chris

I actually made a 15 Ton Jack when I first started in 2003. Pictured below. I have a few castings available that require work on bubbles in the resin cast bodies. For details of availability go to the Craftsman's Market.

Hi Guys

Just so as not to confuse you all about the German Jacks. The two pictures Bob has shown are not, according to my research 15 Ton Jacks. The top picture is of a 10 Ton Jack and the bottom one maybe a 10 Ton Jack but looks more like a 5 Ton Jack with extra supports welded to it. Museums often put the wrong equipment on display tanks, depending what they have available. Sorry Bob, but had to point this out.

For more information on German Jacks read my post link below.
