Best All Cast Steel High Lift Jack (2026)

Compared on paper

Specifications are manufacturer rated, as published on each listing and collected 3 November 2026. Where a listing contradicts itself, both figures are shown.

How the points were given

Each jack is scored on performance, build, value, safety and warranty, with the weights published on our How We Pick page. No listing states an ASME PASE listing. The Bunker jack scores on safety for its stated shear bolt, while the other listings state no rated safety listing or device that scores here, so they score zero on safety. No listing states a warranty term, so every jack scores zero on warranty.

Scores run from 9.2 to 9.8: each product’s point total is placed on that range, so more points always means a higher score.

What the listings tell you

Four farm jack listings were compared for this guide. Only the Bunker listing states all-cast construction. Both VEVOR listings state the same capacity and the same structural steel construction, differing mainly on size, range and base. None of the four listings states a warranty term or an ASME PASE listing, and only the Bunker listing states a shear bolt.

Capacity and lift range

Capacity separates the DNA listing from the rest: the VEVOR listings state 7,000 lbs / 3.18 Ton, the Bunker listing states 3Ton (7000LB), and the DNA listing states 6600lbs with a 3 ton rating. Lift range separates the VEVOR pair: the 48 inch VEVOR listing states 5.12-42.5 in, while the 36 inch VEVOR listing states 5.12-30.3 in. The Bunker listing states a maximum lifting height of 42 inch with no minimum stated, and the DNA listing states a range from a minimum of 5.5 inches to a maximum of 41.3 inches. No listing here states saddle height as a separate figure.

Construction: what all-cast means here

Only the Bunker listing states all-cast construction, with cast iron components and heavy duty solid steel construction. The VEVOR listings state high-quality structural steel with a galvanized anti-rust coating. The DNA listing states advanced casting technology steel with anti-corrosion treatment and rust prevention. A listing that states casting technology or structural steel is not an all-cast listing.

Base and ground

A base mate matters on soft ground. The Bunker base mate is designed to stop sinkage on soft surfaces, with serrated teeth along one side for scraping hard dirt or gravel into a clean, flat surface, and a drilled hole in the center for storage on the jack bar. The 48 inch VEVOR listing includes a base, while the 36 inch VEVOR listing and the DNA listing state no base mate. Set the jack on solid, level ground, and check the ground before lifting.

Safe use

Never get under a vehicle supported only by a jack. Use rated stands on solid, level ground, follow the owner’s manual lift points, and follow the lift maker’s requirements for the job. The Bunker listing adds a shear bolt that prevents use on loads greater than 7000 pounds, which is a limit to respect, not a substitute for stands. Keep clear of the load path when pulling stumps or fence posts, and winch only within the stated capacity.

Handle and control

The DNA listing states a 32 inch handle, designed to improve work efficiency and save strength, plus a wrench mechanism that locks the ratchet hole and descends quickly. The VEVOR listings state a comfortable rubber handle for prolonged use. The Bunker listing states a quick release spring loaded pin for setting the height needed. No listing states a handle length for the VEVOR or Bunker jacks.

Storage and size

The 48 inch jacks stand taller than the 36 inch VEVOR jack, so measure the storage spot against the stated height before ordering. The DNA listing states an overall height of 48 inches, a base width of 4.1 inches and a length of 6.8 inches. The Bunker spec table lists 49.0 inches x 12.5 inches x 5.7 inches against its 48 inch name, so allow for the larger figure when planning storage.

Garage Fit Check

• Storage height: the 48 inch jacks need taller storage than the 36 inch VEVOR jack.
• Ground check: the Bunker base mate suits soft surfaces, with serrated teeth for scraping hard dirt or gravel flat.
• Lift range check: compare the stated range with the vehicle, from 5.12-42.5 in on the 48 inch VEVOR listing to a minimum of 5.5 inches and a maximum of 41.3 inches on the DNA listing.
• Weight check: the DNA listing states 31.5 pounds, the heaviest listing here.
• Handle check: the DNA listing states a 32 inch handle, while the VEVOR listings state a rubber handle and the Bunker listing states a quick release spring loaded pin.

FAQ: garage tools

What is a high lift jack?

A high lift jack is a manual ratcheting farm jack for lifting, pulling, clamping, winching and spreading, per the VEVOR listings, and for farm work, off-road travel, fence work and removing stumps, per the Bunker and DNA listings.

How does a high lift jack work?

The VEVOR listings state a manual operation design with flexible height adjustment, the DNA listing states a wrench mechanism that locks the ratchet hole and descends quickly, and the Bunker listing states a quick release spring loaded pin for setting the height needed.

How do you use a hi-lift jack?

Set the jack on solid, level ground at the vehicle maker’s lift point, raise the load within the stated range, then support the vehicle on rated stands before any work underneath. Never get under a vehicle supported only by a jack.

How do you use a high lift jack on a Jeep?

The Bunker listing names Jeep among its uses, alongside car, truck, ATV, SUV and UTV, but states no Jeep-specific procedure. Use the same equipment rules: solid, level ground, the owner’s manual lift points, rated stands before working underneath, and a load within the stated capacity.

Which of these jacks is actually all-cast?

Only the Bunker listing states all-cast construction, with cast iron components. The VEVOR listings state high-quality structural steel, and the DNA listing states advanced casting technology steel. If all-cast construction is the requirement, the Bunker listing is the only match here.
