This is a wide, flat base plate that attaches to the bottom of a standard high-lift farm jack (like a Hi-Lift or similar brand). It prevents the jack from sinking into soft ground during off-road recoveries, such as lifting a stuck truck, Jeep, ATV, or UTV out of mud, sand, or snow.
Fitment & Compatibility
- Jack Type: Designed for standard tubular farm jacks (commonly called “Hi-Lift” style jacks) with a rectangular base mount. Not for bottle jacks, scissor jacks, or floor jacks.
- Mounting Holes: Check that the bolt pattern on your jack’s base matches the two slotted holes on this base. Most farm jacks have a 2.5–3 inch center-to-center spacing, but measure yours before buying.
- Jack Tube Size: Fits jacks with a 1.5–2 inch wide main tube. If your jack is an off-brand or compact model, verify the tube width fits the base’s clamp.
- Weight Capacity: Rated for the typical 4,000–7,000 lb lift capacity of standard farm jacks. Do not exceed your jack’s rating.
- Installation: Bolts directly onto the jack’s base plate using the existing hardware (usually two bolts). No drilling or modification required if hole spacing matches.
Key Things to Know
- Material: Made from heavy-gauge steel with a powder-coated orange finish. Holds up well to rust and impacts, but the coating can chip if dragged over rocks.
- Installation: Easy—remove the two bolts from your jack’s base, slide this plate on, and reinstall bolts. Takes 5 minutes with a wrench. No special tools needed.
- Performance: Drastically reduces sinking in soft ground. The wide footprint (roughly 8x10 inches) spreads the load, so you can lift from mud or sand without the jack disappearing.
- Gotchas: Adds about 3–4 inches to the jack’s total height when attached. May interfere with some vehicle-mounted jack brackets or storage tubes. Also, the base is heavy (approx. 4–5 lbs), so it adds noticeable weight to carry.
Should You Buy It
Buy this if you frequently use a farm jack for off-road recoveries in sand, mud, or snow, and you’ve had issues with the jack sinking. It’s a simple, low-cost upgrade that makes the jack far more usable in soft terrain. Skip it if you only use the jack on hard ground (gravel, pavement, rock) or if your jack’s bolt pattern doesn’t match.
