Looking for used-but-usable screw jacks for house leveling, small to medium size (~10 tons). I know, I know, they are heavy to ship. Got a jacking project coming up and I need a dozen+ that can live under a house all summer. Let me know what ya’ got and whereabouts.

I've used these before. They're new, but I think they'll ship.

i'd be looking at the bridge jacks in that link
the 4x4 screw jacks look a little light dutyMike Hussein Smith Rhode Island : Design / Build / Repair / Restore
I'm actually going to acquire 4 of those 4x4 jacks. They're kinda cool in that the 4x4 can be attached and the whole thing become a unit. $40 ea plus about $10 to ship. I already own a bunch of their adjustable wall braces. Crude but effective stuff. Believe Mike has 'em too.
What I need in addition is a couple of milk crates worth of good old fashioned mechanical house jacks. I have a customer with a settling issue and I need to start jacking about 15 spots under their house. It's going to take a while.
Harbor Freight has them if you got one nearby.
Funny you should mention, I went looking for one in Everett WA two days ago and either drive by without seeing it, or it's gone. Had to keep moving so I didn't backtrack to double-check.
