What happens when engineers get creative and bring hydraulic technology into the recovery space? There's little doubt that the traditional farm jack is a handy piece of equipment to have when you're driving off road. You can use it to move your vehicle out of awkward situations, lifting vehicles to fill in voids beneath the tires or even as a bead breaker when you have to make a tire repair. But, as we all know, farm jacks can be dangerous. They're inherently unstable and there are countless YouTube videos of users getting injured from a rogue handle or getting their hands caught between the handle and the body of the jack. With this problem in mind, ARB's team of engineers was determined to come up with a better solution to the unsafe farm jack problem. The focus was to design a safer and easier mechanical jack while being lighter and more compact. Adding a new dimension to traditional techniques, the long-travel ARB JACK is backed by the unique power of hydraulic technology weighing in at just 23lbs. Kicking into action when even the lightest force is applied to the handle, the hydraulics will smoothly jack the vehicle up at 1/2" increments with each downward maneuver. While in action, a black rubber body bumper shields the vehicle from risk of damage during the recovery. The easy-to-access red lowering lever ensures lowering the vehicle is achieved swiftly and safely thanks to the two-stage descent feature and safety stop. With the press of a lever, the user is able to adjust the lower speed between a slow or rapid descent. Carefully designed on the basis of matching ergonomic form with safe and reliable functionality, the handles high position and top pivot function provides users with ultimate control while preventing the need to uncomfortably kneel down to operate. Standing true to its adaptable character, JACK features an adjustable foot that can be rotated 360° via the shaft to match the angle of the terrain and reach a firm, stable connection between the base and ground. Built tough to take on the grunt of the most challenging recovery missions, alike to the heavy-duty Old Man Emu BP-51 shock absorbers, JACK’s body is made from aircraft grade 6061 T6 aluminum for maximum strength. Running up the body, 9 hooking points offer the adjustable hook a wide range of lifting heights; capable of lifting up to a total of 4,400lbs.
Minimum lift height of 6", maximum of 28-48".
Compressed height of 35", extended 56".
ARB Jack Base available separately, 10100111.
