The toe jack works very similarly to other jacks that are on the market. You will place the lifting mechanism beneath the item that you intend to lift. You will then use the lever to pump up the jack and lift the item. One of the biggest benefits of this type of jack is the fact that you only need a small amount of clearance – around an inch or so – to be able to place it beneath the item you need to lift. The hydraulics make it almost effortless to lift the items you need.
