When you’re heading off-road, your vehicle can take you places that ordinary vehicles simply can’t reach. But with challenging terrain comes the possibility of getting stuck, and that’s when having the right recovery equipment can make all the difference. A Hi-Lift® Jack is one of the most versatile tools an off-road enthusiast can carry, but its capabilities can be significantly enhanced with the right accessories.
At Iconic Outdoor, your one stop recovery equipment shop, we supply a range of quality Hi-Lift® products designed to make vehicle recovery more practical, controlled and versatile. From protecting your jack against harsh conditions to improving its performance on soft ground and providing alternative lifting and recovery options, these accessories can help you get more from your Hi-Lift® Jack.
Protect Your Hi-Lift® Jack with the Running Gear Cover
Off-road conditions can be tough on equipment. Mud, sand, dust and grime can quickly find their way into the working mechanisms of a recovery jack, potentially making maintenance more difficult. The Hi-Lift® Running Gear Cover – RGJC is designed to help protect the essential running gear, or lifting assembly, of your Hi-Lift® Jack.
Made from marine-grade vinyl, the cover is UV protected and resistant to mould and mildew, making it well suited to the outdoor environment. Its stronger construction is designed to resist fading and tearing, while the improved fit provides better protection than the previous Neoprene Jack Cover.
The easy-on, easy-off zipper design makes accessing your jack’s running gear straightforward when required. The cover also features carbon-fibre embossing and a PVC Hi-Lift logo patch, giving it a distinctive appearance while providing practical protection.
Importantly, the RGJC fits all Hi-Lift Jack models, making it a versatile accessory for virtually any Hi-Lift owner.
Protecting your jack before your next adventure can help keep the working mechanism cleaner and reduce the amount of mud and dirt that accumulates around the lifting assembly.

Controlled Recovery with Hi-Lift® Reflective Loop Recovery Straps
Sometimes recovery isn’t about brute force. A slower, more controlled extraction can be the better option, particularly when working in challenging terrain or around obstacles.
The Hi-Lift® Reflective Loop Recovery Strap is designed specifically for winching and recovery applications with a Hi-Lift jack. Its polyester construction allows for a controlled pull and helps reduce dangerous recoil, making it suitable for slower and more precise extraction requirements.
One particularly useful feature is the reflective loops. During a night-time recovery, locating connection points can become surprisingly difficult. The reflective material catches even minimal available light, making the loops easier to identify and helping you see where the recovery points are located.
The straps are available in two sizes:
- STRP-230: 2″ × 30′, with a 20,000 lb capacity
- STRP-330: 3″ × 30′, with a 30,000 lb capacity
Whether you’re preparing a dedicated recovery kit or simply want an additional recovery option, a quality strap can be a valuable addition to your off-road equipment.

Hi-Lift® Lift-Mate – Lift Directly from the Wheel
One of the challenges associated with lifting modern 4×4 vehicles is that traditional lifting points aren’t always easy to access. Plastic bumpers, extreme lift kits and modified vehicles can make conventional lifting more complicated.
The Hi-Lift® Lift-Mate provides an alternative by allowing you to lift directly from the vehicle’s wheel.
This can make the Hi-Lift® Jack even more versatile when recovering or positioning a vehicle in difficult terrain. Instead of relying solely on conventional lifting points, the Lift-Mate provides a solution designed around the wheel itself.
For off-road enthusiasts who modify their vehicles or regularly encounter difficult recovery situations, having additional lifting options can provide valuable flexibility when the standard approach isn’t practical.

Hi-Lift® Off-Road Base – More Stability on Soft Ground
One of the biggest challenges when using a jack off-road is finding a stable surface. Sand, mud and other soft terrain can cause a jack to sink, reducing its effectiveness and potentially making the lifting process more difficult.
The Hi-Lift® Off-Road Base addresses this problem by increasing the support surface area beneath the jack.
Designed to help alleviate jack sinkage on soft ground, the Off-Road Base makes the Hi-Lift® Jack more versatile in the environments where you need it most. Its rugged construction meets Hi-Lift® Jack specifications for strength and durability, while its convenient design makes it easy to use and store.
For anyone who regularly ventures onto beaches, muddy trails, sandy tracks or other soft surfaces, the Off-Road Base can be an important addition to a recovery setup.

Why the Right Accessories Matter Off-Road
A recovery jack is only one part of a complete recovery system. When you’re far from home or assistance, having accessories that complement your equipment can provide additional options when conditions don’t go according to plan.
The Hi-Lift® Running Gear Cover helps protect your jack from the elements. Reflective recovery straps provide controlled extraction options, while the Lift-Mate expands how you can lift a vehicle. The Off-Road Base, meanwhile, provides increased support when you’re working on soft terrain.
Together, these accessories can help you adapt your recovery equipment to different situations rather than relying on a single approach.
Don’t Forget Your Spare Parts and Recovery Equipment
Off-roading is unpredictable. A damaged component, lost accessory or unsuitable recovery point can quickly turn an enjoyable adventure into a difficult situation. Carrying appropriate spare parts and recovery accessories can help you deal with problems before they become much bigger ones.
The right equipment can potentially save you time, money, additional vehicle damage and a long wait for outside assistance. More importantly, being prepared gives you options when you’re stuck somewhere remote and conditions are working against you.
Before your next 4×4 adventure, take the time to inspect your recovery equipment and make sure you have the accessories suited to the terrain you’ll be travelling through.
