    Lifting a 130 HCPU with a Hi-lift jack?

    How or from where do you lift the rear of a 130 HCPU with a Hi-lift jack?

    Sorry if it's a silly question but I've just bought one (a 130 HCPU) and I'm just not sure what around the rear of the standard tub would be up to being used for lifting. The usual holes in the rear cross member seem to be too far under the tub.

    As always, any and all comments and ideas are welcomed.

    Cheers, LandieMan

    I use the handles under the tail lights on my 130 Tub trailer - they're pretty strong but I'm not sure if strong enough to lift a 130 HCPU.

    You can get a defender hi lift jack extension. Opposite Lock stock them. Its an extension to lift at the chasis crossmembers. Alternately, if you have slotted wheels, there is another extension called a jack mate. Its two strong hooks and thick webbing that slots into the wheels and lifts the wheel directly.

    Thanks, I'll check out OL.

    I've used a similar thing on my 110 but I wasn't aware that OL have one that's long enough to go under the HCPU tub.

    The PO bolted a couple of around 4"x2" RHS sections onto the chassis outriggers so you can lift from the side.
    Works well.
    I can take a snap in the morning if you'd like.

    Morning, m o r n i n g = sun= light = good time to take a photograph.

    At the moment it's night = dark = cold, or at least it does on the east coast.
    It's been thirty years since I was in the west, but IIRC it got dark at night there too
