Product Information

Full details

The Stanley FatMax Tradelift Lifting Tool Set is designed for professional contractors, cabinet makers, and window fitters who require precise, high-capacity leveling and installation support. The core benefit of this kit is its 150kg per tool lifting capacity combined with granular height adjustments, allowing a single user to install heavy appliances, doors, or flooring independently. A key caveat to keep in mind is that the device requires a flat, stable surface for its base plate to function correctly, and it is not intended for use on soft or uneven ground where the weight distribution could be compromised.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the total weight capacity of one Tradelift tool?

Each individual Tradelift unit has a rated lifting capacity of 150kg.

Can I use the Tradelift to lift objects higher than 220mm?

Yes, by using the included Tradelift Plus extensions, you can extend the lifting height up to 685mm.

How small can the adjustments be?

The incremental lowering tab allows for highly precise adjustments of 2.5mm per movement.

Is this tool suitable for lifting heavy appliances?

Yes, provided the total weight is under 150kg and the appliance has a stable surface for the base plate.

Does the set come with a storage solution?

Yes, the set includes a 46cm tool bag designed to store both tools and the extensions.

Do I need to oil the internal mechanism?

No, the enclosed metal housing is designed to protect internal parts, and standard external maintenance involves keeping the base plate clean.

Troubleshooting

The tool will not lift the load

Ensure the load does not exceed the 150kg capacity and verify the base plate is resting fully on a solid, non-yielding surface.

Lowering tab feels stuck

Check that the load is correctly centered on the lifting plate and verify that no debris is obstructing the tab mechanism.

Tool feels unstable with extensions

Confirm that the telescopic extensions are fully clicked into the base unit and that the weight is being applied vertically without side-to-side force.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High load capacity of 150kg per tool
  • Precise incremental lowering allows for accurate leveling
  • Includes a heavy-duty 46cm tool bag for convenient transport
  • Robust metal construction prevents debris-related mechanical failure
  • Extensions allow for versatile heights up to 685mm

Cons

  • Requires a solid, flat surface for proper operation
  • Significant size and weight may be cumbersome for small utility tasks
  • Extensions must be securely attached to maintain stability under full load

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up the tool, ensure the base plate is placed on a level surface. Before applying weight, verify the lowering tab is in the 'down' or 'locked' position. To use the extensions, slide the Tradelift Plus attachments onto the top housing of the base tool, ensuring the locking mechanism is engaged securely.

Care involves regular cleaning of the base plate to remove grit that could scratch flooring. While the housing is enclosed to protect the internals, it is recommended to wipe the unit down with a dry cloth after dusty tasks. Avoid lubricating the internal mechanism with heavy greases that may attract more dust, as the internal components are designed to operate in dry, rugged conditions.
