Hi-Lift Strength

[desert cj7]

What is the differnce between the red and Black Hi-Lifts? Which is supposed to be stronger? I have a black one and have always wondered?

[Warlock]

One is cast and one is stamped. I don't remember which is which.

I have a blue one. Where does that one fit in? And it does say hi-lift on it, so I know its genuine.

[desert cj7]

the black one has 4 stamped parts. Is that supposed to be stronjger or weaker? Not that either is weak, just curious.

Mine is black (well, kinda black and rusty, needs repainting). The bar is cast, the mechanism is stamped.

I think that the all cast jacks are stronger. Could be wrong though. Usually am. :)

[sparky]

If I remember correctly the cast jacks are stronger than the stamped. But I've never heard of a stamped Hi-Lift causing a problem. OTOH, I've not been around many stamped Hi-Lifts, most all the one's I've seen and/or used are cast.

I think that both versions are rated for 7000 lbs but I would imagine that the cast parts are less likely to wear/deform with hard, frequent use.

Mine is blue and the tatered label says it is rated at 7000 lbs.
