Hi-Lift Lift-Mate

Short Summary

The Hi-Lift® Lift-Mate (LM100) lets you lift a vehicle directly from the wheel, making Hi-Lift use far more practical on modern 4x4s with plastic bumpers, side steps, or big lift kits. With rubber-coated hooks and a protective rubber pad, it helps reduce lift height and improves control when you need to get a wheel off the ground.

Why This Product

Many newer SUVs and bakkies don’t have safe, solid bumper points for a traditional Hi-Lift—especially with plastic bumpers, aftermarket bodywork, or tall suspension lifts. That often means you’re forced to lift higher than you’d like just to get a wheel clear. The Lift-Mate solves this by lifting from the wheel itself, reducing how far you need to climb up the jack bar and helping you get to a usable lift height faster and more safely.

Key Features

• Lift directly from the wheel – avoids relying on bumpers and bodywork
• Ideal for lifted vehicles – reduces the amount of travel needed up the jack bar to raise a wheel
• Helpful on plastic bumpers – makes recovery and tyre changes more practical on modern vehicles
• 5,000lb (2,273kg) lift capacity – suitable for many 4x4 wheel-lift scenarios
• Rubber-coated hooks – helps protect the wheel during lifting
• Rubber pad protection – protects the tyre and wheel contact area

Ideal For

• Clients running lifted 4x4s, bigger tyres, or vehicles with limited jacking points
• SUVs and bakkies with plastic bumpers where bumper lifting is risky or impractical
• Overlanders and weekend trail drivers in Cape Town / Western Cape who carry a Hi-Lift jack
• Anyone who wants a more controlled way to lift a wheel for tyre changes or recovery work
