Trackjack
We are the sole importer in Scotland for Trakjak, an innovative tractor jacking tool designed to lift the rear wheels off the ground for easy tire replacement or repairs. Trakjak was the winner of the 2015 Farm and Machinery Innovation Award in association with Farmers Guardian, and the 2016 SSAB IAgrE Health and Safety Award.
Designed primarily as a safer way to jack up and support the rear of a tractor, particularly with its wheels off, Trakjak is the brainchild of Irish contractor Padraig Fay. Born out of the export industry, where there is a constant need to take back wheels off for thorough cleaning and shipping preparation, the device makes use of the tractor’s rear linkage to safely lift its own rear-end off the ground.
To work, the rear linkage is connected to a frame which runs under the rear of the tractor. When the frame is lifted via the linkage, it essentially ‘levers’ the tractor up in the air. Once raised, the tractor is supported on Trakjak’s solid wheels, and can even be driven around the yard with the tractor’s rear wheels removed (with four-wheel drive engaged). This means the wheels can be safely removed in the workshop then the tractor is taken out for a wash, for example.
