Lifting device for use in the field?

[Stephen White]

This advertisement appeared in my YouTube feed. It looks as though it might be useful for raising a model off the ground in the field, for running repairs to tracks etc. With two, you could probably lift one side enough to be able to remove the track. With four........

There are no max weight specs that I can see but some of the photos suggest it is capable of lifting heavy weights.

As a variation on the “quick grip” clamp I quite like it.
I’m not so sure about the ear wax tool set at the bottom of the page though

Looks like a small version of the hi-lift jack beloved of off-roaders, especially Land Rover owners ….

Those are based on inherent instability - the foot plate is small enough that they can be tipped over to provide a quick getaway (a bit like a WW1 unditching beam ). The foot plate on this one looks about the same. I hope the suspension is strong enough to take a sudden drop …..

The car versions, hi-lifts, are called widow makers for a reason.

I need a wooden plank to hold my tanks in place in the car. This plank can be used to lift the model at one corner and has lasted for all incidents till now.

Here is mine, it will lift a King Tiger in one easy operation.
