The workplace lifting process is best accomplished with an appropriate and specialized hoisting device. Basic factors affecting the lifting process are: Payload (weight of the object being lifted), Frequency (number of the lifts per day), Distance, Direction, Speed (feet per minute), and the Power source (electrical, pneumatic, or manual). Safe ergonomic lifting has become a major focus in the workplace; reducing accidents, risk of injury, lost time, litigation, product damages and inefficiencies due to repetitive lifting.

Used for lifting from a surface upwards, jacks are designed for raising and lowering heavy loads, as well as for the application of great force. Industrial and construction jacks are composed from high strength, corrosion resistant materials to ensure reliable lift and operation, especially for high demand uses.
