Stanley FatMax TradeLift Lifting Tool, 150 kg, Twin Pack, FMHT83552-1

The Stanley FatMax TradeLift (order number FMHT83552-1) is a hand-operated lifting tool for lifting, levelling, holding and spreading heavy or awkward objects. It is supplied as a twin pack, each unit rated at 150 kg with a working travel of 220 mm.

The problem it solves

Anyone who has hung a door alone knows the difficulty: the leaf must be held at an exact height while the hinges are fixed, and both hands are already occupied. The TradeLift takes the weight and holds it, leaving your hands free. The same applies hanging kitchen cabinets, fitting a window frame, and levelling an appliance or item of furniture on an uneven floor.

Hand or foot operated

The mechanism is driven by the lever - by hand or by pressing with a foot, which is more convenient when both hands are supporting the load. The contoured handle allows force to be applied without slipping. That foot option is precisely what makes the tool usable where an ordinary jack needs a third pair of hands.

Fine adjustment when lowering

Lowering is stepped rather than free: each toggle drops the load by up to 2.5 mm. That allows precise levelling - a door comes down millimetre by millimetre until the gap is even, instead of dropping all at once and having to be lifted again.

Base and range

The base plate measures 170 x 125 x 6 mm with an angled edge that slides under a low object without lifting it first. The plate carries countersunk holes so the tool can be anchored to the floor or to a structure for sustained work. Spreading range is 7 to 220 mm - from an almost closed gap to a substantial lift.

Who it is for

The pack is aimed at door, window and kitchen fitters, fit-out crews, drylining tradespeople and anyone working alone with heavy, bulky elements. Two units are not excess: a door or cabinet is supported at both ends so it sits both level and at the right height. Total pack weight is 5.52 kg.
