That thing is bad ass!! Petersons off road did an article on those quite awhile back and it works amazing! They loved it and I know from my off road mags that a lot of hard core off roaders have them.

We use a product called Mat jacks at work...120 psi will lift 70 tons almost 33".. i would say that product would work perfectly fine.

its acutly a very safe product. You need to treat it like any other jack and not crawl under what you are lifting. my local fire dept has some thing similar they use to lift things off of people when the ground is soft or for entrapment in farm equipment. all it is is an over sized air spring.
