Tyrex Hi-Lift Type Farm Jack 4' (120 cm), 3000 kg

The factory scissor jack is fine for a wheel change in a car park. In a rut, on soft ground or under a lifted vehicle it runs out of ideas immediately. A high-lift jack was designed for exactly those situations – it lifts high, grabs a bumper, a sill or a step, and doubles as an improvised pulling tool.

The Tyrex 4' version is the shorter of the two beam lengths. At 120 cm it takes up less room in the boot or on a roof rack, and on vehicles without an extreme lift it still gives all the travel you need.

Key benefits

• 3000 kg rated capacity – comfortable headroom for a typical SUV or pick-up lifted by one corner.
• Shorter 120 cm beam – easier to carry, strap down and handle alone; on a lower vehicle you are not working the lever above your head.
• Versatile tool – beyond lifting the vehicle, a jack of this type earns its place in any job where something has to be raised or shifted in the field.
• Yellow finish – easy to spot in mud and in a loaded boot, which matters for kit you only reach for in an emergency.
• CE declaration of conformity – the manufacturer quotes register number EPTC-GB-S1106876.

Who it is for: drivers running moderate ground clearance who want a jack that copes where the factory one gives up – ruts, rocks and wheel changes far from tarmac. If your vehicle sits on a tall lift and big tyres, look at the longer 5' version instead (RAP-TYFJ5, 150 cm beam).

Handling and safety notes

A high-lift jack needs a solid lifting point – a bumper, a sill or a purpose-made step. On soft ground put a plate or a board under the foot so it does not sink under load. This is a powerful tool with a lot of stored energy in the handle, so work deliberately, never get under a raised vehicle without support, and keep the handle under control while lowering.

Why it is worth it

• Lifts where a factory jack has no chance – mud, ruts and uneven ground.
• The 120 cm beam is easier to transport than the 150 cm version.
• 3000 kg rated capacity, with clear margin for a typical off-road vehicle.

If you are putting an expedition kit together, a jack of this type is one of the first items on the list.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the 4' and 5' versions?

Beam length. The 4' has a 120 cm beam, the 5' (RAP-TYFJ5) a 150 cm one. Both are rated at 3000 kg; the longer beam gives more lift range and suits vehicles with a tall lift.

What is the rated capacity?

The distributor states 3000 kg.

Does the jack have a CE declaration of conformity?

The manufacturer quotes CE declaration of conformity register number EPTC-GB-S1106876.

Do I need a base plate under it?

On firm, level ground, no. On sand, mud or soft soil the foot can sink under load, so putting a plate or a board underneath is standard practice.
