Rescue 42, Inc. Releases the JackMate Lift Jack Accessory

Rescue 42, Inc. announces the release of the JackMate Lift Jack Accessory, which is designed to replace a standard jack’s limited capacity top clamp with a multipurpose attachment which is rated to the full capacity of the jack as a clamp, winch, spreader or a base.

The JackMate slides over either end of the jack bar and is attached with a quick-release pin. As a top clamp, the JackMate dramatically increases the jack’s winching, clamping, and crushing capabilities. As a replacement for the jack base, the JackMate is engineered to “bite” into boards or logs to help prevent the jack from sinking in mud, sand, ice, and snow.

Additional features include a “super-grip,” diamond plate top, wire fence pulling slots (which doubles as a bottle opener), an easier pin for attaching the JackMate to the jack, and quick release replacement pin for the jack’s base. The JackMate is made in the United States.

The JackMate is designed to fit most brands of lift jacks. Additional information about The JackMate Lift Jack Accessory and distribution options can be found at www.Rescue42.com or by calling Rescue 42 at (888) 427-3728.
