You mightbe surprised. my very old (early 70's!) trolly jack which was huge (as in dwarfs my BNT 3 Tonne) was actually made in Taiwan!
I was surprised when I turned it over one day as it looked like some crazy over-built British thing.

Tried it on the neighbours smallish truck with a load of grass and it lifted it effortlessly. Not very scientific I know but gives me hope its in excess of5 ton

Did you lift the whole truck, or just one corner! I can lift one wheel off the ground with my 2 tonne jack on an 8 tonne bus. If you don't know its rating, just say so in the auction.

Lifted back end on dif. all four rear wheels off the ground. Had about 3 mtrs of grass on the deck. No clue on the weight.

We had a few of those at work back in the good old days. Cant remember the make but I do remember they were a bloody good unit with a nice high lift.

Boost it up hoping there might be some oldtimers around today.

But they take lots of pumping to get that last bit of lift.

Yep, them too. And some deer velvet, apparently.
