Question:
How heavy is the jack to carry around for roadside use?
asked by: Gerald
Expert Reply:
Gerald, the 12-ton Tallboy # PM94FR weighs about 37 lbs all-in, including the base plate, extensions, and carry bag. It’s a little heavy, but that’s the tradeoff for stability and steel construction - the 9-1/2 inch base plate and solid risers are what keep it steady under load. Most RV owners store it in a basement compartment or pickup bed.
Would you be lifting a trailer or a truck with it? That’ll help narrow down whether it’s worth carrying full time or just packing for longer trips.

Mostly for my 2500HD and a 5th wheel when we’re on the road. Thirty-seven pounds doesn’t sound terrible, but does it actually fit in the bag pretty snug?
