I am looking for information on wall jacks for lifting reidential walls. We currently use a jack that climbs a 2 x 4 but I would like to find one that is a little safer and uses a cable and winch if this is available. if any one has info onthis type of jack you comments are appreciated.

There's also a brand called Tranzporter.
Regarding Proctor Wall Jacks, any suggestions where they can be purchased
I don't know where Pif gets his Proctors, but my Tranzporters came from Black Bear Ladder in Maine. I am in NY and they shipped quickly via motor freight.
Almost identical, I like the T because of its square tubular design, as opposed to the P with its round pipe tube.
I just asked my guy at the lumberyard if he could get them for me. A pair, delivered was about seven hundred bucks
