JET Tools Introduces New JET Standard Series (S-Series) 450 lb. Material Lifts
La Vergne, Tenn. (March 2026) – JET Tools®, a leading manufacturer of material-handling, metalworking, and woodworking equipment, announces the launch of its new JET S-Series 450 lb. material lifts, engineered to deliver compact power, reliable performance and enhanced mobility for contractors and maintenance professionals who need to keep crews moving.
Designed for everyday jobsite use, the S-Series material lift offers a smarter, safer approach to material handling with less effort and less downtime. Its short-stack mast design creates a more compact footprint that improves maneuverability through tight spaces, doorways and vehicles, while making transport, setup and storage easier across a wide range of applications.
Built for performance and efficiency, these material lifts are ideal for:
- HVAC contractors
- Mechanical contractors
- Facility maintenance teams
- Manufacturing environments
Key advantages include:
- Compact mobility: Short stack mast improves maneuverability on crowded jobsites.
- Efficient lifting: Drill-driven winch lifts up to 450 lbs. quickly while reducing operator fatigue.
- Durable construction: All-metal pulley wheels, bearing-mounted mast rollers and debris guards increase uptime.
- Easy transport and storage: Patent-pending leg manipulation enables upright nesting while integrated forklift pockets provide safer loading and unloading.
- Built-in safety: Internal brakes and a shorter mast height improve safety and reduce strain.
- Versatile operation: Multiple modes, including standard lift mode, stow mode and flat transit mode.
- Expandable capability: Optional fork extensions and adjustable pipe cradle increase application flexibility.
Available in 12-foot and 16-foot lift height models, the JET S-Series material lift is built to keep crews moving from set-up to teardown.
“Contractors need equipment that works as hard as they do, without slowing them down,” said Walt Herbert, product manager, JET Tools. “The new JET S-Series material lift delivers compact power, improved mobility and jobsite-ready durability that helps crews stay productive from setup to tear down.”
