George Radion in Australia has a database on Australian-made Jacks

This database is for vintage and classic Lake & Elliot vehicle jacks.  Many of the photos and comments have been gleaned from Ebay and other sites.  I would be pleased to add photos and comments from anyone who has information on these jacks.

Please note that this information is accurate to the best of my knowledge, but I make no claims about authority on this subject. Use your own discretion when evaluating the accuracy of the information.

All Lake & Elliot screw jacks are now very old.  I would recommend that they are now used only for display purposes.  If one is used for lifting a vehicle, the operator should never put them self underneath the supported area without additional load bearing equipment in place, such as block of wood. Never use bricks for this purpose.

The values are normally taken from auction sites world-wide, but exclude postage.

Request to vendors: Please feel free to use the information from these databases in your adverts. An acknowledgement of the source would be most welcome. However, please do not twist any of the information. Where I say along the lines: 'May be for car X' please make this clear in your advert. An altered statement saying: 'It is for car X' will create false facts and misinformation. If you know for certainty a jack's heritage please contact me so that I can amend the entry. Thank you.

The only casting on the central body is 7.  On the edge of two sides of the rectangular base is cast: LAKE & ELLIOT LTD BRAINTREE on one side and 6 TON 2/1941 on the other. The 1941 date suggests this jack is a military contract for WW2 vehicles.

Lake & Elliot Millennium Express No.10

Description

Unusual rack and worm drive jack.  As I understand it the jack can be raised and lowered in a steady and convention method of rotating the worm drive.  However, to bring the jack into more rapid contact with the chassis the handle can first be pushed downwards to disengage the worm drive then, whilst disengaged the handle with the sphere on the end can be foot pumped to raise the rack quickly until engagement is made with the chassis. The worm drive can then be re-engaged. Photos and description courtesy of Robert Middelmann.

NewMoody reports that the only patent that falls conveniently to hand is GB190714233, granted to William Beard Lake, Ern Lake's brother, and Edward Franklyn Elliot on 12 march 1908. The drawings do not quite match in respect of mechanical parts but the body shows marked similarities.

Lake & Elliot Millenium CV Double Lift

Description

This Millennium double screw capstan jack Is cast LAKE & ELLIOT BRAINTREE on on side. On the other is MILLENNIUM CV DOUBLE LIFT. My expert considers CV may stand for Commercial Vehicles. The base lip is poorly cast PAT APP.

The base is 8” diameter and the base unit is 6.5” tall   The visible (outer) screw is 1.75” diameter within which is a secondary screw. The outer screw is free to rise or fall but does not rotate. The lower capstan runs on the outer screw and controls its rise/fall. The upper capstan is affixed to the inner screw which, therefore, rises or falls on the inner screw of the outer screw. Both inner and outer screws are about 8”/9” long.
