“We have a few of your jacks floating around our motor pool and one caught my eye after we realized it was under a truck with no jackstand. normally we put one under the truck to take the load off the jack. Aside from that, this 12-ton has been under the truck for going on 3 months and counting. It hasn't lost an inch in 3 months we got a jackstand under it now but are leaving it up to see if it will go till parts come in. The truck is a 20 ton dump 917 and has a load still in it. the truck pic is not that good I’ll get a better one later.”
