front brace is sheet metal

We use the same jack from another manufacture on our service trucks. My personal jack at home died after 40 plus years. I went with this based on the price ($25 less than the other brand) and the pictures I thought it was the same as the other brand with a solid bar between the front wheels. All the bar is is a piece of rolled sheet metal between the frame rails of the jack. No big deal if you only use it on a hard surface. That bar helps keep the jack from sinking on gravel or any non-paved surface. If I had known this I would have bought the 2.5 ton jack and saved some money.
