The **toe jack** represents a smart solution for lifting and transporting heavy machinery, combining power, precision and versatility. Nuova Tecnica specialises in professional lifting and offers a **range of excellent products**, in particular through its[**NTS Series of hydraulic lifts**](https://www.nuovatecnica.com/sollevamento/sollevatori-idraulici/serie-nts.html). This guide aims to address the world of the lifting jack, starting with its definition and highlighting the **distinctive features and innovative advantages**of the JM5 and JM10 models. ## What is a Toe Jack? A **toe jack** is a **hydraulic engineering device, primarily intended for lifting, positioning and consequent handling of** heavy loads in various industrial and construction contexts. The structure of a hydraulic binda typically comprises a cylinder housing a movable piston. The movement of the piston is facilitated by the use of a hydraulic fluid that is pressurised by a pump. This**hydraulic pressure allows the piston to extend or retract**, thus lifting the load housed on the lug of the binda. **Precise movement**is one of the key aspects of hydraulic jacks, allowing operators to carefully place heavy loads exactly where they are needed, with minimal corrections and adjustments, such as levelling machinery. Hydraulic slings are remarkably versatile and can be **used in a variety of applications**, from building and bridge construction to the installation and maintenance of heavy machinery in industrial settings. Their **ability to lift loads of several tonnes** makes them indispensable in many operations that require lifting and handling heavy objects. When masterfully designed and manufactured, with advanced safety mechanisms just like the NTS series, **they minimise the risk of accidents and ensure a safer working environment**. In addition, efficient lifting and precise positioning of loads helps reduce the time and effort required to complete complex tasks, improving productivity. Nuova Tecnica's hydraulic[**lifts**](https://www.nuovatecnica.com/en/lifting/toe-jack.html) also include hydraulic jacks, which have already been discussed in detail in the dedicated article. The main difference between a binder and a jack lies in design, lifting capacity and field of application. **Hydraulic bindles** are more suitable **for heavy and complex industrial applications**, while hydraulic jacks are better suited for lighter lifting operations and for use in maintenance or emergency situations. ### Funzionamento di una binda idraulica ![hydraulic bindings vertical head thrust](https://www.nuovatecnica.com/images/binde-idrauliche/binda-idraulica-spinta-verticale-dalla-testa.jpg) #### Spinta verticale dalla testa ![hydraulic bindings vertical thrust nail](https://www.nuovatecnica.com/images/binde-idrauliche/binda-idraulica-spinta-verticale-dalla-unghia.jpg) #### Spinta verticale dalla unghia ![hydraulic bindings horizontal thrust head](https://www.nuovatecnica.com/images/binde-idrauliche/binda-idraulica-spinta-orizzontale-dalla-testa.jpg) #### Spinta orizzontale dalla testa ## Advantages of Nuova Tecnica NTS Toe Jacks The **main advantages that make them an ideal choice** in industrial and other applications are: - **Versatility**: suitable for lifting and handling machinery, in both vertical and horizontal positions**,**in various industrial contexts, from machine shops to production plants. - **Safety and resistance**: built with high quality materials and equipped with advanced safety systems, they ensure constant and long-lasting performance. - **Efficiency**: made with a one-piece body with 360° rotation, adjustable lowering and overload protection, they are ideal for optimising lifting operations even when access for lifting is difficult. - **Simplicity:**their low weight makes them easy to transport and they are also easy to maintain. The NTS Series includes **two different models**: the JM5 with a lifting capacity of up to 5 tonnes and the JM10 with a lifting capacity of up to 10 tonnes. Let us go into detail about the two versions of the Nuova Tecnica. ### Images related to Nuova Tecnica's toe jacks ![toe jacks 5 ton](https://www.nuovatecnica.com/images/binde-idrauliche/binda-idraulica-5-ton.jpg) #### Binda idraulica 5 ton - Capacity: 5 tonnes - Height over head: 25 mm-205 mm - Height over head: 368 mm -573 mm - Maximum effort on lever: 380 N - Operating temperature -20 ÷ +50(°C) - Own weight: 24 kg ![toe jacks 10 ton](https://www.nuovatecnica.com/images/binde-idrauliche/binda-idraulica-10-ton.jpg) #### Binda idraulica 10 ton - Load capacity: 10 tonnes - Height above nail: 30-230 mm - Height over head: 420 mm- 650 mm - Maximum effort on lever: 400 N - Operating temperature -20 ÷ +50(°C) - Own weight: 35 kg ### Toe Jack JM5: compact and powerful The NTF Series [**JM5 hydraulic lifting jack**](https://www.nuovatecnica.com/en/lifting/toe-jack/nts-series/jm5.html) stands out due to its unique ability to **combine compact dimensions with**significant **lifting power**. Weighing only 24 kg, it has a load capacity of up to 5 tonnes, a height at the hoist of 25 to 205 mm and at the head of 368 to 573 mm. Ideal for **tight spaces but with high demands**, the JM5 is the optimal solution for safe and fast installation and maintenance of industrial equipment within the company. ### Toe Jack JM10: strength and precision For tasks requiring higher force, the[**JM10**](https://www.nuovatecnica.com/en/lifting/toe-jack/nts-series/jm10.html) emerges as a reliable tool. With double the lifting capacity of the JM5, it is **perfect for demanding industrial operations** where precision and power are indispensable. Despite its high lifting capacity, the weight of the JM10 is only 35 kg, with a low lifting lug height of 30 mm. Whether for **lifting,**[**transport or machine handling**](https://www.nuovatecnica.com/en/blog/heavy-machinery-handling.html), the NTS Series is designed by Nuova Tecnica to meet the needs of the company and make **work more efficient and safer**. The JM5 and JM10 models are the result of years of research and development, designed to exceed expectations in terms of performance, reliability and after-sales support. **Choosing a Nuova Tecnica hydraulic** lift means investing in a lifting solution that will help improve the efficiency, safety and productivity of your industrial operations. #### Get Free Advice for Toe Jacks Would you like to receive advice from us to find out more about our **Toe Jacks**?
