KATSU Tools Off-Road Base for Hi Lift Jack, Heavy Duty Hi-Lift Farm Jack Plate Alleviate Jack Hoisting Sinkage for 4x4 Recovery 161196
Product Overview
The KATSU Tools Heavy-Duty Off-Road Hi-Lift Jack Base Plate (161196) is an indispensable safety stabilizer designed to prevent farm jacks and high-lift jacks from sinking into soft, unstable ground during vehicle lifting and recovery operations. Molded from ultra-tough, high-density Polypropylene (PP) with a massive 3000kg (3 Tonne) maximum load capacity, this 285 × 285mm wide support pad distributes high point-load pressure over a broad surface area for maximum stability on sand, mud, gravel, grass, and snow.
Engineered to fit KATSU 161195 (48") as well as most popular hi-lift farm jack models (all-cast, cast/steel, UTV, and agricultural equipment jacks), it replaces unreliable wooden blocks that rot, splinter, or break under heavy loads. Featuring a center-drilled storage hole, it mounts directly onto the jack upright bar for effortless storage and transport in your 4x4 off-road recovery kit.
