What is a Toejack ?

Last Update 16 Nov 2011

Simply put, If you move safes you Need a good pair of Toejacks. When you need to put a large and heavy safe flat on the floor, these handy Toejacks will make the task much easier. They help in other ways as well, such as lowering the container onto steel roll-pins when you need to put the safe into a tight corner.

Basics: Move the safe into position and up on 4X4's. Kick the 4X's in about 5 inches from the edge of the safe body. Center one Toejack (one side at a time) parallel with the length of the 4X4. Crank the Toejack up high enough to lift the load off of the 4X4, and then remove the 4X4. Lower the Toejack and the bottom of the safe will be just a half inch off the floor. Repeat this procedure for the other side of the safe. Finish off with a lift bar to pull the Toejacks out from under the safe.

The Toejacks shown here work perfect and are manufactured and sold by Los Angeles Safe & Vault at about $300.00 each. Compare that to a price range of $700.00 - $1,000.00 each for a good commercially available Toejack.

Warning

This Toejack is not shown in the correct lift position. This angled position of the Toejack is shown here simply for demonstration.

This is the correct lift position of the Toejack, fully under the load and squared off with the load.

Among other things, I purchased Bob's safe jack in Lexington. He had shipped it to me prior to the show and I brought it down for use in the rigging and moving class that Beastie and I taught. I had the chance to use it twice last week in the field, and let me tell you it is top notch. Well designed in addition to being well made, it is a sturdy and dependable workhorse. I have to admit I was a little skeptical - it seemed too simple - until I used it. I had to remove a large TL-30 from very tight quarters inside a department store. There was no room to use a Johnson bar or any other type of prying device. I broke out the jack and lifted the safe quickly and easily. Also, the jack stays in position - you don't have to keep pressure on it to keep your load raised like you do with a pry bar. Raise it up, go get lunch and roll your pallet jack under the load when you are done eating! This jack can turn many two man tasks into a one man operation.

Simple and easy to use, this jack belongs in every safe rigger's arsenal!
