Versatile Safe Jack Designed For Farm Use
The Safe-Jack was invented by Canadian farmer Ron Blatz, of Kelsey, Alb., to avoid having to work under machinery held up by wooden blocks or unstable jacks. The Safe-Jack has a wide 20-in. base and lifts with a 20-in. wide bar that has two lift arms. A regular jack is fitted to the center of it to do the lifting. Once it's up, the Safe-Jack is held in position by pins. If needed, the jack can then be moved to another location.
The Safe-Jack has also been used to help move grain bins, and as a low-level scaffold. The 48-in. model sells for $144. A 36-in. model sells for $139.
