Esco announced a new line of professional jacks: the Compac Series, in lifting capacities ranging from 1.5 to 3 tons. With a sleek, low profile design and high lifting (up to 31 inches), these easy-to-maneuver jacks are suitable for use in tight spaces, according to the manufacturer. Other features include the “lift and turn” handle that prevents unintentional lowering but allows for the operator to easily lower the jack. An additional foot-pedal pumping feature provides faster saddle raising to the load.
