VEVOR 48-inch Farm Jack (AH081048): features, specs and who it suits

The VEVOR AH081048 is a 48-inch ratcheting high-lift jack, often called a farm jack. It is a long, manual jack used on farms, on off-road vehicles and in recovery work, where the lift needed is greater than a normal floor jack provides.

How a high-lift jack works

A high-lift jack is a tall steel bar with a lifting mechanism that climbs along it. Moving the handle up and down steps the mechanism along a row of holes, and the ratchet locks it at each step. A wrench-style switch reverses the direction to lower the load. VEVOR lists a 20 mm ratchet hole for locking the height precisely.

Because it climbs a long bar, it reaches much higher than a bottle or floor jack. VEVOR gives a lifting range of 4.13 to 40.74 in (105 to 1,035 mm) on the 48-inch body.

Capacity and construction

VEVOR rates the jack at 7,000 lb. The listing says it is made from integrated casting and stamped steel parts, with a hot-dip galvanized and powder-sprayed finish that protects against rust and paint wear. VEVOR advises cleaning it and applying rust-resistant oil after use. Following that advice keeps a ratchet mechanism moving smoothly.

Handle, base and grip

The handle is 750 mm long, which gives more leverage, so less effort is needed for each stroke. A wide base is meant to resist sinking into soft ground, though on mud or grass a solid board under the base is a common precaution. The handle has a non-slip grip and the listing mentions a rubber sleeve.

Uses VEVOR lists

The listing names several uses: changing tyres, pulling trees and stumps, lifting fence posts, raising boats, off-road recovery and roadside rescue. It also says the jack can act as a winch for sideways pulling. High-lift jacks have a narrow lifting point and can be unstable, so use them as the manual describes and only on vehicles with suitable lifting points.

Size and weight

The jack measures about 7.1 x 4.5 x 48.2 in and weighs 27.1 lb (about 12.3 kg). It is long, so it needs a storage spot such as a truck bed, a mount or a shed wall.

Who it suits

It suits farm owners, off-roaders, and people who work with heavy equipment, fence posts or trailers and need high reach.

What to check before you buy

• Load: confirm the weight of your vehicle or load is well within the 7,000 lb capacity figure.
• Lifting points: check that your vehicle has suitable jacking points or bumpers, as the manual describes.
• Support: never work under a load held only by a jack. Use rated jack stands or supports on firm, level ground.
• Ground: plan a firm board for soft surfaces.
• Storage: allow room for a 48-inch tool.
• Upkeep: clean and oil it after use, as VEVOR suggests.
