Hi-lift jack and shovel holder for Pioneer platform rack

Don't know how often I'd use a hi-lift jack but I had a request and looking at what is currently available I thought I could come up with something a bit better.

I didn't want to hang the heavy jack off the side of the rack like most mounts do. I also wanted to keep everything as low as possible. Also, clamping the shovel to the mount using a bolt is pretty agricultural and damages the handle. I wanted to use Quick fists.

The weight of the jack is directly over the mounting slots so there is no bouncing and twisting of the roof rack. Shovel fits nicely to the side and does not protrude any higher than the jack.

Feels really solid, especially when the mounts are lined up over the roof rack cross members.

Looks good as does all of your work Tin, could the rhino shovel brackets be bolted to your mount?

It should be quite easy to fit the rhino shovel brackets, just need some more mounting holes. They are pretty expensive for a couple bits of plastic though. The quick fists are cheaper and better I reckon.

Why am I only hearing about quick fists today...

Yeah the quick fists will probably work better. The only reason I ask is that if you start making these for sale, they would be a good inclusion to my rig to hold the hight lift, I already have the rhino shovel mounts that were given as a gift!
