TEMCo Hydraulic Container/Machine Toe Jack (2.5 Ton - 5 Ton) Lift Capacity TH0025

Works great. This is one of the better toe jacks I’ve ever used.

I used (and will continue to use on an as-needed basis) this toe jack to lift and aid in the relocation of a metal turning lathe. It works very well, and feels reassuringly sturdy as it supports the weight. I mean, I still wouldn't stick my fingers underneath whatever I am lifting, but you do you. The swiveling pump handle receptacle is a VERY nice feature, as heavy objects of this sort are often placed against/near walls, other machinery, etc..., and having the option to orient the handle into an area where there is space for it to be swung/cycled is absolutely appreciated. As with most (all?) bottle-type jacks, the release can be touchy when lowering a load, but this jack does provide as sensitive of a release as I have experienced. With some patience, a fairly finite level of control can be achieved when setting down whatever heavy object you've managed to lift. Great solution for "just how the heck am I supposed to lift THAT??" situations, especially if used in conjunction with other lifting devices (use this jack to create enough clearance underneath the object to get another jack/lifting strap/whatever underneath it).

The toe jack operates extremely smoothly and has great manors while lowering the load. Its very easy to control the speed of descent of the load. That is very important to safe load handling. The build quality is really good.

Thick foam holding it dead still in a large box. Paint in perfect condition. Delivery guy left it on its side for a few hours, and no leaks! Picked up my 5300lb forklift like it's nothing. Handle is comfy, lowers the weigh slowly and well controlled. Even includes all new seals for a rebuild, and a 1 year no-matter-what return warranty. I will absolutely buy from this manufacturer again.Update: Been holding the front end of my Chevy 1500 for 2 weeks while i figure out a frame repair - hasn't sank AT ALL. Jackstands are still untouched. This is possibly the best quality hydraulic device i own. I feel bad getting it dirty...

I bought this jack nearly a year ago, and I've used it to pickup my entire machine shop, one machine at a time to install decent leveling feet. I haven't had any problems with it, no leaks, no trouble lifting anything I've used it on. I highly recommend it to anyone in a machine shop environment looking to lift things just enough to use moving skates or leveling feet or the like.The only annoyance in the design of this jack is that the release valve is only on one side. You can swivel the pump to lift the jack so that you can pump it up from the same direction on both the left and right of a machine, but for one of those you have to get around behind to crack the valve. Minor, but in a tight spot it can be a bit of a burden. Keep that in mind as you set up for a job, but I don't think many other jacks have that feature either. Plus, you likely don't have as crowded a shop as I do, since I'm constrained to a fairly small basement...

Seems to be a well built product. It doesn’t say “made in China” anywhere, which is refreshing, but I do suspect south east Asia.I have yet to raise the heaviest load I will use it for, so we will see. I wish the base foot extended further under the load than it does, but that is a minor trifle.

I've needed to change the location of the leveling feet on my Southbend for 4 years. There effort to do so was more than it was worth. 10 minutes with the jack and it was done. No questionable lifting. Easy as eating pie.I've been meaning to get my Bridgeport off its moving skids for longer. No easy way to do it until this arrived. 15 minutes later it is on its leveling feet.The unit is heavy duty. Well built. There handle is a single piece, none of this contect 3 tubes together to make a wobbly lever. Solid feel. The wall thickness of the lever is better than most jacks I've seen so the cuts for opening and closing the valve are sturdy.Every thing about this is quality. I just wish I had invested in it earlier.Oh, they had it in the shippers hands the same day I placed the order. Great customer service.

I bought this in Mar 2018. It sat waiting to work for a while (could this be part of the problem?) Used this yesterday for the first time. (old time boy scout, be prepared) Seal is leaking at the top. I will repair this, it still works, but a little frustrating. It will leak all the way down, so the springs have enough force to override the seals. That is a scary proposition as I made new foot pads for the mill, and the install will need blocking to prevent a blowout from amputating the digits. Not what I was expecting. I do have older jacks that haven't started leaking yet. Like 40 year old jacks that haven't started leaking...Edit 1: Sent a message to Temco since it's under warranty. They said they will ship parts and instructions. Will advise.
