Lifts, Jacks & Hoists

From recovering a bogged 4x4 on a remote track to pulling an engine in the home garage, lifting and hauling heavy loads safely calls for the right gear. Our Lifts, Jacks and Hoists collection brings together electric winches, hydraulic engine cranes, engine stands, farm jacks, air jacks and motorcycle lifts for Australian four-wheel drivers, mechanics, farmers and workshop owners. Whether you are kitting out a touring rig, setting up a shed or tackling a driveway rebuild, this range covers the heavy lifting so you can work smarter and safer.

Electric Winches for Recovery and Lifting

Winching is the backbone of serious 4WD recovery, and the range spans Giantz, X-BULL and ZESUPER electric winches from a compact 3000lbs up to a hefty 14500lbs. Most run on 12V with a wireless remote, and you can choose steel cable for rugged durability or synthetic rope, which is lighter, floats and stores less energy under load. Many kits include a mounting plate to suit a bull bar or trailer. Alongside vehicle winches, the Giantz electric hoist winches from 300/600kg to 500/1000kg, with 18m and 20m cables and chain lifting attachments, are built for overhead lifting of engines, motors and materials in the shed.

Engine Cranes, Hoists and Stands

Pulling and rebuilding an engine is far safer with purpose-built workshop gear. The collection includes 2-tonne foldable hydraulic engine cranes, heavy-duty folding engine stands rated from 450kg to 900kg, and an engine leveller and balancer rated to 907kg that lets you angle a block precisely into the bay. Folding designs pack away against a wall when the job is done. For utes, trucks and mobile mechanics, 12V swivel hydraulic cranes rated around 800kg to 900kg give 360 degree pick-up and placement without a second set of hands.

Jacks for Every Job

Beyond the standard trolley jack, this range tackles the tough recovery and servicing tasks. The X-BULL Hi-Lift style farm jack is a touring essential for lifting a 4x4 wheel clear on uneven ground, changing tyres and working with recovery tracks. Multi-layer air bag exhaust jacks rated to 5 tonne inflate from the exhaust or a compressor to raise a vehicle on soft sand, mud or snow where a conventional jack sinks. In the workshop, a 500kg transmission and gearbox jack adapter makes dropping a gearbox manageable, while tall under-car axle support stands hold a raised vehicle securely for underbody work.

Motorcycle and ATV Lifting

Riders are well catered for with T-REX front and rear paddock stands for chain, tyre and general maintenance, plus heavy-duty hydraulic motorcycle lift tables and scissor lift jacks rated to around 500kg. Low-profile motorcycle scissor stands and ATV jacks raise a bike or quad to a comfortable working height, making servicing, cleaning and repairs far easier on your back in the home shed or professional bike workshop.

Ratings, Safety and Choosing the Right Tool

Always match the rated capacity to the weight you are lifting and add a sensible safety margin. Never work under a load held only by a hydraulic jack or winch, and support the vehicle on rated axle stands before you go underneath. Check the 12V wiring, battery condition and duty cycle before running a winch or electric hoist hard, and inspect cables, ropes, hooks, hydraulic seals and welds regularly for wear. Choosing the right combination of winch, jack and stand keeps you safe on the track and in the workshop.

Lifts, Jacks & Hoists — FAQ

How do I choose between a winch, a jack, a hoist and an engine crane?

It comes down to the job: recovery winches pull a stuck 4WD or load a boat, engine cranes and stands lift and hold a motor during removal or rebuild, and jacks raise a vehicle or bike for servicing. Hoists and lifting cranes are ideal for repeatedly raising heavy items in a workshop, while paddock and scissor stands are made specifically for motorcycles. Decide whether you need to pull, lift, or support, then match the tool to your typical weights.

How much lifting or pulling capacity should I look for?

Always choose a rating that exceeds the real-world weight you will handle, including attachments, fluids and any dynamic loading. For 4WD recovery, a common guide is a winch rated well above your vehicle weight to allow for mud, gradient and drag, and our winches list their pull ratings in both pounds and kilograms. Engine cranes, hoists and stands also carry stated load limits, so confirm the figure suits your heaviest expected job with margin to spare.

Steel cable or synthetic rope, and what construction should I expect?

Steel cable is tough and abrasion resistant, while synthetic rope is lighter, easier to handle and tends to be safer under tension because it stores less energy if it fails. Many winches in this range come in both options so you can pick your preference. Electric hoists, cranes and stands use steel construction for strength, and folding engine cranes are built to take repeated workshop use.

What do I need to know about safe installation and operation?

Mount and rig each tool to a solid, rated anchor point and follow the included instructions for wiring, mounting or assembly before putting it under load. Never work under a vehicle held only by a jack, always support it on stands, and keep hands, clothing and bystanders clear of moving cables, chains and pinch points. Use gloves when handling cable, and check that the load is balanced and secure before lifting or pulling.

How do I maintain a winch, jack or hoist so it keeps working?

Keep cables and ropes clean and inspect them for fraying, kinks or damage, and retire any that show signs of failure. Check hydraulic jacks and cranes for leaks or spongy action, keep pivots and moving parts lubricated, and confirm bolts and fasteners stay tight. Store gear dry to guard against rust and test operation occasionally so it is ready when you need it.
