Frame Tent Jack Overview
Save time and labor when installing
any kind of tent frame with this frame
tent jack. This portable and durable
jack will take some of the time and
energy out of installing a frame tent
and increase the productivity of your
setup team. Once you have assembled
the top of your tent frame, use the
frame tent jack to hold up your frame
while you attach the legs during set up
or remove the legs during tear down.
This frame tent jack makes it possible
for a single person to set up a
frame tent by lifting up one
corner at a time. This item can be
used with both our High Peak Frame
Tents, as well as our West Coast Frame
Tents.
Our frame tent jack features an easy to
crank handle for smooth turning
radius. The unit can lift a frame more
than 10 feet high and has a maximum
load capacity of 1,200 lbs.
We recommend that, approximately
one jack is used per perimeter fitting
on the length of the tent.

STEP (3) – Winch:
• First, release locking lever and pull
some wire cable slack— enough to be
able to place pulley out of the way
and to reach pulley to top of upper
pole, later

mounting plate
Note: winch is tucked on the side
of lower pole— not outside the
mounting plate, as ahown
• Secure with 3 smaller bolts
(13mm)

STEP (4) – Pulley:
• Align pulley with the 4 holes of the
mounting plate, on top of the
upper pole
Note: keep pole on the ground, (careful
that it doesn’t get clogged with dirt)—
this will make it easier to work
• Make sure, when positioning pulley,
that the hook will fall on the opposite
side of the R-pin holes (see page 1.)
• Attach pulley, using 4 smaller bolts
(13mm)
STEP (5) – Upper Support
Pole:
• First, check that there is enough slack
in the cable
