When they bend is when you know for sure you overloaded it. I've bent more than 1.Are we not supposed to be lifting 15t with our highlifts?
Messed up the pin mechanism on a stamped steel one too.

Electrolysis is line-of-sight. I have used it to clean inside rusted gas tanks. Evaporust will get in the mechanisms better.Electrolysis tank would be cheaper. Might just set up one in a plastic garbage can to leave in the corner of my barn

Electrolysis will get to everything on that jack. I usually use extra laundry soda too.I suppose I could make a long narrow tank.... otherwise id need a shitload
I pulled a couple old utility pole gate posts out with my forklift and it was definitely more than the 6k lift wanted. I had to ram them a couple times to loosen them up.Ive lifted old telephone poles with a highlift jack.
Definitely 15 tons!
Works with the ladies…..Spray it down with Coors Light, that'll free 'er up.

I've broken the handle off of a Chinese one and ate the trailer that I was trying to liftWhen they bend is when you know for sure you overloaded it. I've bent more than 1.

Are you soaking 12" at a time? And how would you do that? To soak the entire jack will take a 4' L (approx.) by 1' W (approx.) by 10" D (approx.) tub of "product". That's not "a few gallons"a soak in a few gallons of white vinegar after wire brushing will set you back about $10 and is easily available from grocery store. I keep mine in a 5 gallon bucket and soak all kinds of stuff in it.
that doesn't sound rightAre you soaking 12" at a time? And how would you do that? To soak the entire jack will take a 4' L (approx.) by 1' W (approx.) by 10" D (approx.) tub of "product". That's not "a few gallons"
My calcs say you need about 23 gallons to soak it in it's entirety.
dig a trench in the ground big enough for jack
line it with plastic shit
Insert jack
Add vinegar
Its in one in the pictureI bet he's got a lil loader bucket on the property...
how I do larger things is make a 2x10 frame in a rectangle. Lay a tarp in it so it creates a bowl/bag type situation then submerge then fold edges of tarp over. It’ll need to soak 7+ days. Move the item every few days or take out and hit it with a wire brush again then put back in. Once you have the metal where you want it you’ll need to soak in baking soda to counteract the vinegar. For smaller big stuff I have a plastic 55 gallon drum cut vertically.Are you soaking 12" at a time? And how would you do that?

No. It works for coolant too.Yes, it is the best and only use for Coors Light.
I use 45% vinegar on weeds. You want to stay upwind of that shit when you're spraying it, that's for sure.I un rusted a very rusty generator gas tank a week ago. Soaked it in 9% vinegar for a few days. I was amazed how well it worked. There was a lot of rust flakes and scale in the take. I would shake it and rotate it every day. I didn’t fill the whole take up just about 20% and rotated the take to a different side every day. I have never done electrolysis but would recommend vinegar.
