Performance characteristics and weight capacity remain the same as the all-cast Hi-Lift jacks but at a lower price. WIth over 100 years of quality, the Hi-Lift Jack is a rugged, highly versatile jack that puts you in command of situations requiring lifting, pushing, pulling, winching and clamping. Although light in weight and easy to maneuver, the Hi-Lift Jack offers a rated load capacity of 4, 660 pounds (2114kg) and a tested load capacity of 7, 000 pounds (3175kg), achieving a 150% safety factor. Our jacks are designed to help you survive in the most demanding situations - whether you are in the Moab desert canyons, the Welsh mountains, the jungle or the farmlands of Indiana. With a full range of specially designed accessories, the Hi-Lift jack is just about the most versatile piece of off-roading, farming, auto recovery equipment you can buy. When its a heavy duty situation, the tool had better be a Hi-Lift! Review: Quality is worth the price - As other reviewers have stated, this unit is a serious piece of equipment. It is very heavy duty and able to hoist very heavy objects. I used it to reposition the ramp on my boat dock. I needed a jack with extended length lifting. This jack is actually an over kill for my application however because of its extra lifting capacity I am sure I will find additional uses for it. This jack works in both directions making it useful for pulling as well as lifting. The company offers accessories for this jack enhancing its versatility. It can be used much like a come along or hand winch. Other versions of this very jack are used to pry open accident vehicles for passenger extrication. Emergency personnel use this jack. It also has field repair kits to overhaul the lifting and pulling mechanism. The jack is so heavy duty it’s hard to believe that it could ever break. The handle is all metal. There are no plastic parts on this jack. The finished surface on this jack appears to be powder coated and very durable. Only time will tell how durable the finish actually is. Yes believe it or not, it is still possible to buy an all-metal extra heavy-duty piece of equipment these days at a reasonable price. Review: Hi-Lift Jack - I just bought this Hi-Lift jack less than a month ago and I have jacked up a ride on mower and jacked a tree stump out of the ground easily. I had a piece of steel plate that I bolted it to for greater surface area, balance and so it wouldn't force the jack into the dirt when jacking the stump and it worked perfectly. It is made well. Strong and easy to use. One little lever you pull up and you can jack it up and you push the lever down to release the jack back down. I have a lot of things I can do with this tool. I would definitely recommend this jack to anyone. Don't go a fewer dollars cheaper make yours a Hi-Lift jack. ## Features - Constructed with a mix of cast components and four high-strength stamped steel components - Top winch connector clamp and powder coated finish with zinc-plated hardware standard on all jacks - Two piece handle and socket is durable and reliable; Operation type : Mechanical - Safe use information stickers, including rated load details and operating instructions, affixed to handle - For greater safety, all Hi-Lift jacks are equipped with a shear bolt which prevents the jack from being used on loads greater than 7000 pounds ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000CMFN4E | | Automotive Fit Type | Vehicle Specific Fit | | Best Sellers Rank | #66,536 in Industrial & Scientific ( See Top 100 in Industrial & Scientific ) #89 in Industrial Floor Jacks | | Brand | Hi-Lift | | Brand Name | Hi-Lift | | Color | Black | | Compatible with Vehicle Type | Car | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 1,620 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00052767004241 | | Included Components | Jack | | Item Dimensions | 45.5 x 10.5 x 5 inches | | Item Length | 47 Inches | | Item Type Name | 42" Black Cast & Steel Jack | | Item Weight | 12 Hundredths Pounds | | Item Width | 12 Inches | | Load Capacity | 7000 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Hi-Lift | | Manufacturer Part Number | HL-424 | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | 12 months from the date of purchase, only to the original owner, against defective materials and workmanship. | | Material | Alloy Steel | | Material Type | Alloy Steel | | Maximum Lifting Height | 42 Inches | | Minimum Height | 42 Inches | | Model Number | HL-424 | | Style Name | Music | | UPC | 052767004241 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Vehicle Service Type | Car | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Hi-Lift - **Load Capacity:** 7000 Pounds - **Material:** Alloy Steel - **Maximum Lifting Height:** 42 Inches - **Vehicle Service Type:** Car ## Images ![Jack 42" Cast/Steel Jack HL-424 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61qikoNVrGL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: 48" or 60".... for my f250 superduty with 10" lift on 40's?** A: i have a 6" lift on 35's and i have the 60" i do think 48 was more than enough but if you do go offroading for the price difference i would get the 60" since you never know who you have to help or if you need to use it for recovery. **Q: Other than 12" is there an advantage to 60 over 48? For the extra few $ should I just go with 60?** A: I use mine to pull out 4x4 wooden posts out of the frozen ground during the winter. I install & remove 4x4 posts for real estate companies. I'm constantly in and out of the truck with it this time of year so to me the 36 inch was more advantageous. It didnt make sense for me to lug a 60 inch jack in and out. They are heavy. It all depends what you are going to use it for. 60 inch might be better if you are using it for off road use with a Jeep or some other off road vehicle. The posts I install are only 24 inches in the ground so with a piece of chain I use 36 inches is perfect. **Q: What is the total height of the HL364 jack (without the handle)?** A: 60” **Q: Camper in my driveway, it's a fairly steep decline to the road, is this safe to use to raise my camper hitch? 6,500 ttl wt. obviously not lifting ttl** A: The jack has proven reliable for my purposes. I’ve mostly used it to lift sections of my dock which weigh 400-500 lbs. The big concern is stability of the camper. If it is sitting on a steep incline I would be concerned about the load shifting. This jack had a fairly small base and does not provide a lot of lateral stability. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Quality is worth the price *by B***T on March 26, 2014* As other reviewers have stated, this unit is a serious piece of equipment.

I had a piece of steel plate that I bolted it to for greater surface area, balance and so it wouldn't force the jack into the dirt when jacking the stump and it worked perfectly. It is made well.

Don't go a fewer dollars cheaper make yours a Hi-Lift jack. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very Solid and Well Built *by J***A on July 18, 2013* Primary use is on a Tacoma with 8 inch lift. No problem with the lifting my truck and is very sturdy. Lifted my brother's Excursion fairly well and did not even give a hint at bowing like some jacks do (of course did not lift to highest point out of common sense either). Would recommend the optional foot pad if using it in soft material as the base is very small compared to the height but this is not a limitation. I expect will work great for pulling as well. FYI: There are some tube mounted (like front bar or such) fixtures that are made to mount the jack to your vehicle. I have not come across one yet that can handle the weight of this jack appropriately. I took a piece of channel iron, welded some wheel studs from to poke out from the inside (so I could use the same wheel locks on my tires to secure) then welded that channel to my front brush guard. Very solid mount. ## Frequently Bought Together - Hi-Lift Jack HL424 42" Black Cast and Steel Jack - Hi-Lift ORB Off Road Base - Hi-Lift Jack HK-B Black Handle-Keeper --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/15954827-jack-42-cast-steel-jack-hl-424](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/15954827-jack-42-cast-steel-jack-hl-424) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-06-13*
