Load arm lifting device

Does anyone know where I can obtain a load arm lifting device for changing load wheels? I have a picture of one but don't see how I can post it.

most forklift tech's use a forklift jack
(not a railroad jack) but a scissor type jack
Northern Tool
Global Industrial
Ebay
Grainger
The list goes on...

just google 'forklift jack' and there will be all sorts of hits.

Now just to clarify, this jack may not fit directly underneath the loadwheel outrigger arm so you would have to get underneath the side of the lift in another spot to raise that side of the lift to raise the outrigger arm enough to put a small chock block under it.
Once you have the wheels cleared from the floor they should be easy to remove.

Fact of the week
The two internal cavities in our nose called nostrils function as separate organs. Each nostril has its own set of turbinates and olfactory receptors. The two independent organs work together through a mechanism called the nasal cycle, where one nostril is dominant for air intake while the other rests and is better at detecting scents.
