Hi-Lift® Cast/Steel Jack 48"

Short Summary

The Hi-Lift® Cast/Steel Jack (HL-484) is a proven off-road recovery tool that can lift, winch, clamp, and spread—ideal for 4x4 touring and recovery situations. This cast/steel version delivers the same functionality as the all-cast jack, but uses four stamped high-strength steel parts to keep cost down while still meeting Hi-Lift’s quality standards and ASME B30.1-2015 requirements.

Why This Product

When you’re off-road, the right jack isn’t only for changing a tyre—it’s for solving problems when you’re stuck, belly-out, or need controlled movement in awkward terrain. Many jacks aren’t built for real recovery demands. The Hi-Lift Cast/Steel Jack gives clients a versatile, field-proven tool that helps you lift a vehicle, assist with winching, or clamp gear when needed—so you’re not relying on luck or improvisation when conditions get tough in the Western Cape or anywhere in South Africa.

• Tested load capacity: 7,000lb (3,175kg)
• Rated load: 4,660lb (2,113kg)
