Hi Folks.
I have a Lake & Elliot 4ton bottle jack without the handle.
Could anyone please sell me one if available.
I pumped the ram up so believe it's working but I dont know how to lower it at present. It might be that the proper handle is required for that operation.
Even some sizing information would be helpful such as length, thickness etc and the pins.

Atb Bryan.

Are the handles for these just a section of flat bar?

Shocking camera work, but stick with him...

Thanks Stalker.
I didn't know whether the handle has to somehow lift the small ring.

There really is a website for everything

Lake & Elliot Jacks Page 3

I bet enough time on there might give enough indications to help making one, if you can't find one?

Lake & Elliot jack

I have been sorting out a corner section of my workshop, and have discovered I own a nice working vehicle Lake & Elliot 4 ton jack. But for some reason the handle does not fit the jack, it is close but is approx 3mm to tall to slide into the jack receptor. Have a got a jack handle for a large...

From that thread... When that jack was made the size would be 1.00" x 5/16" x 36.00" long not metric.

Anyway, I have work to do....

If I remember correctly the pins, one any way' was to prevent the bar (handle) from entering to far into the jack,

This may well be what you are looking for?? It's been on the floor in my shed for years the old jack it came off looked similar but died about 40 years ago.

Hello East Sussex.
That indeed looks like just what I need.
Would you be interested in selling please?

I reread this article and realized we used to use those jacks on the old vehicles in the 70s through the eighties GREEN THEY WOZ' (the vehicles woz red.)

Nice ending to the story, and great to see the “andle” getting a new lease of life.
