- the first and second legs 22,23 are provided with respective first and second feet 26,27 at their lower ends for resting on the ground in use and with leg height adjusting holes 28 along their length to adjust the position of the legs 22,23 within the sleeves 24,25 by inserting pins (not shown) through holes in the sleeves 24,25 into the height adjusting holes 28 of the legs 22,23.
- the carriage 3 is further provided with a centrally located cross-beam 29 for reinforcing the carriage 3.
- a support bearing in the form of a cylindrical tractor positioning and support shaft 30 is mounted over the cross-beam 29 between first and second shaft mounting blocks 31,32 located on the first and second side beams 6,7 respectively.

Description
- This invention relates to a jack and more particularly to a jack for vehicles having powered lifting arms such as tractors, plant machinery and the like.
- Large machinery such as tractors, earth moving equipment and the like (hereinafter referred to collectively as plant machinery) require regular raising off the ground to provide access to the components of the plant machinery for operations such as cleaning and general mechanical maintenance e.g. on the brakes of vehicles. In order to perform the raising operations, relatively sophisticated jacks such as manually operated hydraulic trolley jacks must be employed which are expensive and cumbersome to use. This is particularly a problem with tractors where farmers may not have access to trolley jacks.
- Moreover, the safe use of trolley jacks generally requires two personnel to correctly position and raise a tractor employing a trolley jack. However, many farmers work alone and a second person is generally not available with the result that known trolley jacks are often used by farmers when alone with consequent safety risks.
