BIG RED T92003B Torin Hydraulic Welded Bottle Jack, 20 Ton (40,000 lb) Capacity, Red

I used the Torin Hydraulic Welded Bottle Jack (20 Ton/40,000 lb capacity) to level my 14x32 shed, and I have to say, it worked incredibly well! This jack is a powerhouse. It handled the weight of the shed with no issues at all, and the lifting was smooth and controlled, which made the whole job a lot easier. The build quality is solid—this thing is clearly made to last. It feels heavy-duty and reliable, which is exactly what you want when working with something this powerful. The jack didn’t struggle at all under the load, and I felt confident using it throughout the entire project. If you’re looking for a strong, dependable hydraulic jack, especially for bigger jobs like leveling a shed or working with heavy equipment, I highly recommend this one. It performed perfectly and saved me a lot of time and effort. Great product!

This is a good bottle jack - it does the job it advertises. I have two other Torin bottle jacks, and knew what to expect. I was going to buy a second 12 ton Torin jack, but when I saw this one temporarily drop to $29.99, free shipping, I bought this one instead. Note that these Torin jacks look a lot like jacks sold under other badges / names, and that is because many are made in the same factory and sold under different names.... I use this to jack up my RV (which is 16K pounds), and don't mind using a 20 ton to make sure I have "overkill". When I have to work under the RV without a tire on, and have the luxury of being in my driveway at home, I tend to have a lot of redundancy for safety measures - for instance, if I take a tire off one side, I use two bottle jacks and two jack stands under the frame in various locations to make 100% sure there will be no failure. Of course, I also chock the other wheels. I don't want to trust any one, or even two, components for failure when my life depends on it. When I am travelling, to save on weight and portability, I only carry the 12 ton with jack stands, and carry a block of wood or two for stability of the jack in case I am on gravel, dirt, etc. I am extra careful until I get a jack stand or two under it on the road, I don't have the luxury of concrete, multiple jacks on the road..... but it is still enough. One thing to be careful of on these Torin jacks (and other bottle jacks) - the pressure release screw on the bottom - it does not have a "stop" when you unscrew it, and it will allow you to keep turning it until hydraulic fluid comes leaking out. I know because when I asked my son to release the pressure and lower the jack, I looked over and saw he over loosened the nut on the bottom, and fluid was leaking out. So be aware that it only needs a couple of turns to release pressure, and it can be "over-loosened" to where fluid will leak. One thing that could be improved - a longer handle to jack up the car - the current handle is very short and Torin could provide an extra length or two so you don't have to reach under the car to jack it up. Thanks for reading.

Needing to replace several structural posts on my deck ranging from 32 inches up to 8 foot in height. I spent hours combing through Amazon reviews to find a product that didn't have every 3rd or 4th reviews talking about how the product failed. For the work I was doing, even a slight product failure would not only result in thousands of dollars in damage, but it would also create a dangerous work environment. Luckily, everything i reviewed on Amazon and through other sites kept brining me back to this one product. Since my original purchase of 2 of these. I've used them numerous times, without a single hiccup in their performance. Lift capacity was 20 ton, and I purchased two. Their size is small enough for easy storage but strong enough for the biggest jobs. I especially liked the ability to increase the height by unscrewing and extending the top.

Package was damaged and messed up?? product is fine!!

I have had no problems with this jack so far. The paint does seem to come off, but it is no so much that I am worried. Bleed the jack and get some jack oil, this will work great. I have a regular floor jack which will lift fast as floor jacks do. I used this on a low car, first I raised it with the floor jack then used the bottle jack to raise the car even further, of course always use jack stands, this was done to install a new exhaust system. I recommend getting something to put on top of the bottle jack like a board or piece of metal to distribute weight, so you don't punch a hole through the bottom of your car or truck, I used an aluminum disc bought off of eBay. I included a photo of the bottle jack lifting an SUV to show it can lift a heavier vehicle. The top of the jack can be unscrewed to get closer to bottom of vehicle before lifting. Compared to a floor jack, yes bottle jacks are slow, but they are also cheaper and can lift as high to get the job done. So uless you run a garage where speed money, then this should be fine for you, and always use jack-stands.

Lifted a fully loaded P30 Step Van with ease to change and repair tires, didn't even break a sweat. Only about 10,000 lbs, so small potatoes for this, but I've used other bottle jacks in the past to lift similar loads and have had much less desirable outcomes. The clearance on this was low enough to wedge into position, but it lifted high enough to remove the monster wheels & tires. The jacking motion is extremely efficient, (keep it PG here people, lol), which is to say there's little setback, meaning every bit of raising & lowering of the arm translated into moving the height of the jack. Although I secured my step van with big beefy jack stands, I did first test this by keeping the weight on this jack while having the height of the jack stands slightly lower, just to see if this big brute would hold 10k in weight without losing any height, and it consistently held for over an hour without the slightest drop in elevation. Things were looking good. Welds were all adequate on mine. The integrated handle is a must, since this thing is a porker, but that's why you want it. The paint finish showed no signs of marring even after sliding it on asphalt a few times from one side of the rig to the other. Overall build quality was stout and impressive. To top it all off, when it came time to lower this, none of the usual bottle jack pitfalls occurred, which is to say it didn't seize up when it came time to drop down, and it continued to lower completely without me having to stand on it to lower the rest of way, (as is the case for many of the bigger bottle jacks). I took a chance on this, knowing full well I could've went to Harbor Freight and got their 20 ton for the same price, or even lower if I'd have waited for a coupon, but after thoroughly scrutinizing their 20 ton bottle jacks in store, I'm completely convinced this is a better made piece of equipment. Overall, I'm completely thrilled to have bought this and I'd strongly recommend it to anyone, (unless of course they didn't need a bottle jack).

Complete piece of trash. This junk junior high school shop project didn't even come with hydrolic oil in it. I had to use nearly 3/4 of a quart of my own oil to fill it. I'm very surprised that they didn't send me the entire jack in different pieses and tell me to weld it together myself. And then what do you supose these unthinking, uncaring people expect you to do in order to finish their job for them? Take almost an hour of your time to jack the hydrolic handle up and down in order to build up some sort of preasure so that the hydrolic ram will raise. This is done because there was no oil in jack. I will play with this (joke jack) tomarrow in order to see if I can get some form of functionality out of it. At his point in time it will be going back to Amazon.com if I cannot get it to do something. It is pointless to keep this garbage jack at all. Instruction manual is not much help. There is very little build up of pressure anywhere. This jack is nothing but trash. I did manage to get it to do one thing, it now leaks oil from the hydrolic pump handle.

Working good.
