No room for a lift table. Will likely just order a new J&S.

Unless there is an identifiable label on it that says J&S ,,, it doesn’t look like it but if it’s close by. Take a look. Email J&S and ask them if it’s one of their early models.

FWIW, J&S had issues during the pandemic/supply era, but I called them for a co-worker & customer service wasn't an issue (got right through & response). Sometimes you just need to go old school with an actual phone call. 
Bought my J&S in 2009 and it's still holding strong + all OEM parts (original jack). Only thing I did was swap caster bolts w/ stainless as they were looking pretty shoddy.

For some reason their actual hydraulic pumps are garbage.
I've read allot of complaints on this forum and in reviews.
And the warranty fulfilment takes forever.
don't get me wrong, I'd love a J&S jack but it's out of my price range
and my Black Widow does what I need it to do.

Before you do check for used ones. Great jack. I found a barely used one for $300 about 18 months ago.

Agree. I'll continue to keep my eyes peeled for used J&S or Pitbull. If nothing shows up by Spring, I'll order a new one.

I found my J&S on CL, first priced at $225, then a week later for $150. I went to see it and took it home for $135 in like new condition. I later swapped out the bottle for an air assist bottle.
