DeWalt DWHT83550 ToughSeries 340 lb Capacity Construction Jack

The DeWalt DWHT83550 ToughSeries Construction Jack is a mechanical hand-held precision lifting device engineered for hoisting, leveling, and positioning heavy building materials up to 340 lbs across an 8-3/4-inch stroke range. Featuring a dual-action trigger handle, this tool allows operators to choose between step-to-lift foot pedal operation for hands-free hoisting or standard squeeze-to-lift hand actuation. Outfitted with a slim tapered base for inserting into tight gaps under doors, cabinets, and appliances, the 7.03-pound unit integrates a precision-controlled lowering tab to perform micro-adjustments during leveling tasks.

Best Used For:

  • Cabinet & Countertop Installation: Hoisting heavy base and wall cabinet modules precisely flush against layout lines before securing fasteners.
  • Door & Window Frame Leveling: Elevating solid-core doors and window assemblies hands-free to align hinges and plumb structural jambs.
  • Appliance & Drywall Panel Positioning: Lifting heavy drywall sheets, wall ovens, and appliances off flooring to achieve accurate clearance gaps.

Key Performance & Safety Features

  • 340 lb Mechanical Lifting Capacity: High-tensile metal drive mechanism delivers heavy-duty lifting force up to 340 lbs with an 8-3/4-inch total lift height.
  • Dual Step-to-Lift & Squeeze-to-Lift Operation: Reinforced handle design permits hands-free foot stepping or manual squeeze pumping for flexible jobsite hoisting.
  • Precision Controlled Lowering Tab: Micro-adjustment release lever lowers heavy suspended loads incrementally for exact levelling alignment.
  • Slim Tapered Access Base Plate: Low-profile toe slides easily beneath low-clearance gaps under appliances, cabinetry, and door edges.
  • No-Load Quick-Release Button: Rapidly resets the lifting plate height during setup before applying structural weight.
  • Flush-Mount Countersunk Mounting Holes: Base plate features pre-drilled countersunk holes to fasten the jack temporarily for auxiliary structural support.
