George Radion in Australia has a database on Australian-made Jacks

This database is for vintage and classic Smiths vehicle jacks.  Many of the photos and comments have been gleaned from Ebay and other sites.  I would be pleased to add photos and comments from anyone who has information on these jacks.

Please note that this information is accurate to the best of my knowledge, but I make no claims about authority on this subject. Use your own discretion when evaluating the accuracy of the information. Some of the jacks listed below had the name Stevenson on them. The attached file is a Smiths Potted History and its relationship with Stevenson.

All Smiths jacks are now old.  I would recommend that they are now used only for display purposes.  If one is used for lifting a vehicle, the operator should never put them self underneath the supported area without additional load bearing equipment in place, such as block of wood. Never use bricks for this purpose.

The values are normally taken from auction sites world-wide, but exclude postage.

Request to vendors: Please feel free to use the information from these databases in your adverts. An acknowledgement of the source would be most welcome. However, please do not twist any of the information. Where I say along the lines: 'May be for car X' please make this clear in your advert. An altered statement saying: 'It is for car X' will create false facts and misinformation. If you know for certainty a jack's heritage please contact me so that I can amend the entry. Thank you.

Smiths Bevelift - Short Rectangular Lifting Arm

Description

The Bevelift is manufactured by Smiths Jacking Systems (embossed around the base) and called the Smiths Bevelift jack. Made in England and, according to the internet, by the same Samuel Smiths that made the Smiths/Jaeger gauges, Radiomobile radios and the MGA heater assembly but perhaps not the beer!

Height closed is 18.5" for some cars including the Bristol 400. Lifting arm is 7/8" square section.

CAUTION. The Riley RM Club reports that this jack has a bad reputation for failure in use and strongly recommends that an alternative jack is used for wheel changing etc.

From 1946 to 1955 these jacks were supplied with the Riley RMA, RME 1.5 litre saloons; the Riley RMB, RMF 2.5 litre saloons; and the Riley RMC 2.5 litre Drophead Coupe.  Information courtesy of Mike Moore in Cheshire, UK.

Smiths Bevelift Side Lift - Double Lifting Arm

Description

This Bevelift side lift jack has, rather unusually, two jacking arms. The top arm fits into a chassis hole and the lower arm fits under the leaf spring. This helps raise the wheel clear of the ground at a lower jacking height as the spring does not sag with the back axle and wheel weight. Other general details as in the first and second entries.

Applicable Vehicles:

Armstrong Siddeley Star Sapphire from chassis no 330501 until the end of production (the last car was chassis no 330902).  For the earlier chassis cars see Smiths Bevelift above.

The owner of such a vehicle made the following observation:

"When jacking up the rear of the Star, the upper arm slots inside a rectangular section welded onto the chassis and the lower arm fits under the leaf spring. I do not know the reason for the change in the jack to a double lifting arm from the earlier car. Perhaps it was to provide additional support when jacking. When jacking the front of the car, there is similarly a rectangular section welded onto the chassis into which the upper arm slots but, with coil springs at the front, the lower arm is not used here".

Jack Handle Type:

Wheel nut brace (see second entry above).

Year Dates Noted:

Circa 1959

Smiths Triangulated - Standard & Triumph

Description

This jack was supplied to Standard Triumph which became one manufacturer from 1945 and used by both makes.

The first photo is from the Standard Vanguard Phase One Handbook.

The screw rod extends through the top bearing of the jack and has a slot cut into it. The handle is a piece of rod with the last couple of inches bent over about 45deg. This end is then flattened // to its length and fitted into the screw slot. A pin through this joint allows the rod to swivel. With the jack offered up and the handle to the right, the handle is then pulled from right to left, horizontally; flipped over to become sited to the right. Repeat!

The 4 subsequent photos are from a Triumph Renown and its handbook. Information and photos courtesy of the Triumph Razoredge Owners' Club.
