The Richmond 5 Tonne Hydraulic Toe Jack is designed for lifting heavy machinery and equipment with minimal ground clearance. Featuring both toe and head lift points, this unit gives operators the flexibility to engage loads from low or elevated positions. Its compact design allows easy positioning under tight gaps, while the heavy-duty steel body ensures long service life under industrial use.
This toe jack is commonly used in machine installation, maintenance, rigging, and relocation projects—especially in environments where forklifts or overhead cranes aren’t practical. The hydraulic system provides smooth and controlled lifting, while the built-in release valve allows for precise lowering. Its low-profile toe and wide base maximise load stability during operation.
Product FAQs
A hydraulic toe jack is used to lift heavy machinery or equipment that sits close to the ground, where traditional jacks or forklifts can’t reach. It’s commonly used in machine installation, relocation, or maintenance tasks.
Toe lifting uses the low-profile toe plate to lift loads with minimal ground clearance. Head lifting uses the upper portion of the jack to raise loads from higher contact points. This dual functionality allows greater versatility depending on the load setup.
Always place the jack on a flat, stable surface and ensure the toe or head is properly aligned under a solid lifting point. Use additional cribbing or blocking as needed and never place any body part under a load that isn’t fully supported.
Periodically check for oil leaks, inspect the hydraulic pump for smooth operation, and ensure the release valve functions correctly. Store the jack in a clean, dry location and follow all safety guidelines in the supplied manual.
Yes, the jack has a total lifting capacity of 5 tonnes, and this rating applies to both the toe lift and the head lift. However, it’s essential to ensure the load is centred and stable during use, and to never exceed the rated capacity. Overloading can cause damage or lead to unsafe lifting conditions.
