It's also worth noting that the jacks are absolutely appalling in these.
Barely does 30cm well, nevermind higher.

I need to lift a 235kg empty fish tank from a van into a house and up onto a stand.
Suggestions? That don't involve a football team of people.
And since this is HotUKdeals...cheap as humanly possible.

1. Two or three people who you can trust ??
2. Move the stand near your car and leave it outside as a garden ornament
3. Wooden blocks to raise one end at a time ... Possibly using furniture as levers etc

You could see if anywhere can do a one day hire of something like this http://www.lifting-equipment.co.uk/p/HYDRAULIC-SCISSOR-TABLE/6OH__Vu6XkSE/h
If you're thinking of lifting it between several people, it might be worth hiring or buying some good quality suction cup handles (as used by glazers etc.) to avoid slipping hands and losing grip etc. Partly depends on the dimensions of the tank too as obviously you'll need to negotiate doorways and other obstacles so there might not be room for people to be crowded around it.

That is a huge fishtank: I am guessing around 350 gallons and probably 6 foot long. In that case you really need to spread the load very carefully. Unless you have a perfectly flat surface to move it across then trolleys are going to be tricky. I suggest you get the van as close as possible to the house and get four fit lads to carry it in. Buy them all a beer. Total cost around £12.
