Pair of toe jacks

[JTurner23]

After a pair of toe jacks as an interim solution to taking the neck off my lowloader if anyone has any they would be willing to sell?

Probably not the kind of thing worth parting with but worth an ask!

Look on eBay,they sometimes turn up in pairs,fraction of new price. Ted

Those are not toe jacks. The toe type have the aluminium base extend out the front to prevent them tipping over. The toe version would be 50t on the top, 20t on the claw.

I take it your after the hydraulic type? We got a pair of the internet new from Birmingham somewhere were about £300 for the pair. Moves the press brake perfectly.

The ones Adam linked to have the ability to be used as a toe jack, if you have the claw attachment for them, see this link

Adam I knew you knew as you posted about them, my reply quoted Chaosengineering.

I am afraid your missing the point. If you look at the picture buzzy bee posted carefully you will see the jack base extends out the front, below where the toe sits! However the original item posted doesn't. It's a subtle difference and all models were available in both styles. Trust me we move 40+tonne Cnc's regularly and you wouldn't want to add a toe to a standard jack. The load will spit it out in your balls if you're lucky and if not, your head.

I'm not try to start some arse holes debate, just don't want the wrong gear injuring someone! Any true toe jack has to have its base the same distance forward as the toe, otherwise it's just a lever, acted on by the load.
