Best Deadlift Jacks of 2026

The RitFit is rated to 660 pounds, and it puts that rating on a base about 17 inches long and 8 inches wide with a PVC layer where it meets the floor. That footprint is the whole story: in our testing the jack planted itself as the sleeve came up rather than skating out from under the bar, which is exactly the moment a flimsy stand gives you trouble. Of the single jacks here, this is the one we hand to a friend without a caveat.

The handle is covered in a non-slip grip and sits at a height that lets you lean your weight down onto it instead of pulling up with your arms — a small thing that matters on the last set of a session as much as the first. Nothing needs assembling. It comes out of the box, slides under the sleeve, and works, and the metal is thickened right where the bar sits, so the groove is not the part you worry about.

At a little over four inches tall it slides under a bench or tucks against the upright of a rack, and it is light enough to carry in one hand between the platform and the shelf. What it does not do is lift both sleeves: you load one end, then walk around. For a bar you change a few times a workout that is a fair trade, and the two-stand set further down is the answer if it is not.

Line the Mikolo up next to our top pick and you have to check the label. Both are rated to 660 pounds, both sit on a PVC base with a diamond tread, both arrive assembled with a non-slip handle and no hardware to sort through. The Mikolo does it all in 4.3 pounds.

The similarity is the point, and in our testing it mattered less which of the two was under the bar than whether one of them was. If the RitFit sells out, or you want less weight to move between the floor and the shelf, this does the same work for a little less. The treaded base spreads the load across the floor rather than concentrating it on a metal edge, and the handle is shaped for a full-hand pull rather than a fingertip one.

A two-year manufacturer warranty is the longest coverage of any jack here, and on a design this light that coverage is part of what you are buying: a metal frame with PVC underneath, and a builder willing to stand behind it longer than anyone else in this group.

The Yes4All is the jack for the lifter who wants the tool to disappear into the corner of the garage and be there when it is needed. It is a simple A-frame in anti-corrosion stainless steel, 19.75 by 14.75 inches where it meets the floor, with a UHMW pad where the bar lands. Eight pounds of steel means you are not carrying it far — and it also means the thing does not wander when the bar comes down.

We put it just behind the RitFit, and the gap is not about the everyday work: 600 pounds of capacity and a padded contact plate handle routine plate changes without complaint. It is about what happens over a lot of them. The plastic around the bar can crack at the base, and the frame can tip if a bar drops into the groove off-center. Neither is a reason to walk away — set it down squarely, glance at the contact plate now and then, and it does the job.

The built-in handle has a rubber cover, so moving it out of the way is a one-hand job, and the UHMW padding is the detail that protects your knurling rather than chewing it. There is a one-year warranty too, which is worth having on a tool that lives on the floor and takes the occasional dropped plate.

At 42.5 inches wide and 30 pounds, the Titan is not a gadget you tuck beside the squat rack — it is a piece of gym equipment with a permanent address. The frame straddles the bar, the notched J-cups come up around both sleeves at once, and they rise to a 10-inch cup height with an opening of 2.25 inches square.

Lifting both sleeves together is the reason to give up the floor space. The bar stays level, plates come off square instead of tilting toward the floor, and you never walk around the bar between changes. It is rated to 900 pounds, far past anything a home lifter will load, and the notches give the bar somewhere to sit rather than relying on a balance point.

What comes with the size is friction. It ships as parts and takes a wrench and some patience to put together, it does not fold or hang, and it costs several times what the compact jacks do. If your bar lives on a platform in a garage and you never want to bend over to load it again, none of that matters. This is the most capable jack here, and we do not think it is close.

Weight is the number that decides whether a jack travels, and at 5.7 pounds the BRTGYM is the one here that goes in the car without a second thought. It is 17.7 inches wide and only 4.5 inches deep, so it slides into a gym bag or hangs on a hook, and the pullback handle is wrapped in rubber so it does not chew your hand on the way out of the car.

What it gives up is capacity — 600 pounds, at the low end of this group — which is still more than most lifters will ever put on a bar. The 2-inch gap takes both 1-inch and Olympic sleeves, and the UHMW padding means knurling comes out of the cradle unmarked. In our testing it was the jack we stopped noticing, which is the best thing you can say about a loading tool: it does its job, then gets out of the way.

Two jacks in one box changes the job. Put one under each sleeve and the bar comes up level, which means plates slide on square instead of tilting toward the floor while you hold the bar steady with one hand. That is the Lovind's entire argument, and it is a good one if you load a bar on the floor several times a week.

The stands are carbon steel with a 2.5-inch padded hooking grip that takes both 1-inch and Olympic bars, and the handles are wrapped in rubber for a grip that survives sweaty hands. They arrive assembled, which is more than we can say for the full-size frame here, and the padding at the hook is the part that keeps your knurling intact.

Where a pair earns its keep is the lift itself: with a stand on each sleeve you are never balancing a loaded bar on a single point, and the plates come off without the seesaw. We prefer it to any single jack here for a bar that lives on the platform — the loading is that much calmer.

The question with a wooden jack is whether it stays put under a heavy bar, and with the POWER GUIDANCE the honest answer is that it depends on how you set the bar down. The body is 1.2 inches thick and weighs 2.3 pounds, and a stand that light will rock if a sleeve lands in the groove off-center. Seat the bar gently and it is stable; drop it in and you will feel the movement.

What the wood buys you is portability and a finish you do not mind leaving out. The body runs 16.8 inches long with a widened base, an arc cut into the underside for leverage, and a groove reinforced with a wear-resistant gasket where the bar sits. The handle is angled so your hand falls where the pull is strongest.

It is the lightest jack in this group by a wide margin — thin enough to slide behind a door, light enough for a gym bag — and the sanded finish means no splinters when you grab it. It is also rated to 700 pounds, the highest of the compact jacks here, so the low weight is about the material rather than a weaker tool.

Where we land is that this is a good jack for a lifter who loads on a platform at home and wants something that stores out of the way, and a good one to keep in the car for the gym you do not own. If you throw plates at a bar in a hurry, the steel bases here will feel steadier in the hand.
