HMMWV Tire Replacement Jack

Bogert International Inc. has developed a patent pending tire replacement jack allowing troops to deploy the Bogert Jack and lift the M1114, M1151A, M1152A1, and M1165A1, and lighter HMMWV models (GVWR up to15,400 pounds) in under 3 minutes.

HMMWV's used by troops in Iraq & Afghanistan have been so heavily armored that the original equipment jack no longer works to change tires or perform emergency repairs in a timely manner. The weight, coupled with the unique suspension characteristics, and the unstable soil conditions compound the problem.

The 30M-HV Kit (NSN 5120 01 546 9940) has been tested in the mud, sand, wet sand and on gravel slopes with a compound longitudinal and lateral grade of 4 degrees. Lifting from the shock mounting bolt on the underside of the lower control arm, the Bogert Jack has a minimum lifting height of 6.0 inches and a maximum lift height of 19 inches, providing 14 inches of available lifting power stroke.

Contact Bogert International Inc. at (509) 736-1512, or visit www.hmmwvjack.com for more information about NSN 5120 01 546 9940.

Wow,
I Would love to have one of these HMMWV Tire Replacement Jacks. I have a hi-lift jack on my rig and both times I have had to use it I swear it was going to tip over. The hi-lift jacks aren't good for off-roading because the ground is almost never level and at least for me I am always in the mud. This design looks real stable. Any chance this Bogert jack will be available to the public?
