Rotational Toe Jack RTJ type

No.807005

The H-Lift Rotational Toe Jack RTJ Type is a hydraulic lifting device designed to lift heavy machinery and equipment in extremely low-clearance situations where standard jacks cannot fit.

  • Narrow toe slides beneath loads with as little as 15-20mm ground clearance
  • Dual-function design lifts from toe position or top head for versatile applications
  • Capacities from 2.5 to 25+ tons handle industrial machinery and transformers
  • Compact, portable construction with hydraulic pump for controlled lifting and lowering
  • Technical Data

  • Safe Use of Jacks

The RTJ Type Rotational Toe Jack is engineered for confined spaces and awkward lifting angles. Its unique 360-degree revolving housing allows the pump handle to be operated from any position. Featuring dual lifting points (Toe and Top Head) and capacities up to 25 Tonnes, it is an indispensable tool for heavy machinery installation and structural lifting.

⚠️ SAFETY WARNING: OVERLOAD PROTECTION.
This jack is equipped with a built-in overload protection valve. Do not attempt to bypass this feature. Always ensure the load is stable before lifting.
🔄 360° Revolving Housing

The unique rotational design allows the pump mechanism to be turned independently of the lifting toe. Operate the handle from the side or front—perfect for tight, awkward spaces against walls.

⬆️ Dual Lifting Points

Designed to lift loads using either the ultra-low Toe (for minimal ground clearance, starting at just 25mm) or the Top Head (for higher starting points).

🎯 Precision Control

Features an adjustable lowering speed valve, allowing operators to lower heavy, sensitive loads smoothly, safely, and accurately without sudden drops.

⚖️ Heavy-Duty Capacities

Available in 5 Tonne, 10 Tonne, and 25 Tonne rated capacities. The RTJ25 (25T model) comes equipped with built-in wheels for easy maneuvering.

ℹ️ Machine Moving: Pair this toe jack with our Load Moving Skates to easily lift and transport heavy machinery.

Q: What is the advantage of a rotational toe jack? A: Standard toe jacks require you to pump the handle from a fixed position directly behind the cylinder. A rotational toe jack features a revolving housing, meaning you can turn the pump mechanism 360 degrees to operate the handle from the side or front—perfect when working against walls or under wide machinery.
Q: What is the minimum clearance needed for the toe? A: The 5-tonne model requires a minimum clearance of just 25mm to slide the toe under the load, making it ideal for equipment resting almost flat on the ground.

Selecting the Correct Jack

Jacks may be hydraulic or mechanical in operation and are available in a wide range of capacities and designs. Proper selection is critical for safety.

Key Considerations:

  • Type: Hydraulic, ratchet, screw, or journal jack.
  • Dimensions: Capacity, closed height, lifting height, and overall dimensions.
  • Accessories: Toe/claw attachments, screwed ram with locking collar, calibrated gauges for load measurement.
  • Support: Packing materials needed during jacking and to support the load once raised.

Safety Guidelines

Always

  • Store and handle jacks correctly.
  • Inspect jacks before use and before placing into storage.
  • Ensure the surface is level, even, and capable of taking the imposed load.
  • Ensure the jack is positioned so the load is applied in the correct plane.
  • Use packing capable of withstanding loads without crushing.
  • Lift and lower in small stages using support packing to minimize load falls.

Never

  • Never obliquely load (side load) jacks.
  • Never raise the load higher than necessary.
  • Never over-extend the jack beyond its rated stroke.
  • Never leave a load supported solely on jacks (use stands/packing).
  • Never reach under a load supported by jacks.
  • Never work or climb on a load supported by jacks.

Operation & Maintenance

Using Jacks Safely

Multiple Jacks: Most operations require multiple jacks. It is impossible to raise/lower them in perfect unison, causing uneven loading. Ensure jack capacity is adequate to handle load transfer. Keep the load level.

Floor Stability: Ensure the floor can withstand the point load. Use floor plates to spread the load if necessary. Avoid buried cables or pipes.

Contact: The jack head must be in full, firm contact with the jacking point. Use packers to prevent slipping.

Storage & Handling

Store jacks upright with the ram/rack/screw fully lowered to protect them from damage. Remove handles/levers and store separately. Never store damaged jacks.

In-service Inspection

Clean jacks regularly to remove dirt from racks, screws, and seals. Check hydraulic oil levels. Lubricate moving mechanical parts.

Defects to Watch For:

  • Failure to lift or lower; load slipping/creeping.
  • Cracked or distorted body/base.
  • Bent operating levers.
  • Hydraulic: Oil leaks, scored/distorted rams, inoperative release valves.
  • Mechanical: Chipped/worn rack teeth or screws, seized swivel heads.
⚠️ WARNING: Excessive grease on ratchet jacks can cause the holding pawl to stick, potentially dropping the load.
