Go Rhino XG-RJ50010B El Gato EG1 Hydraulic High-Lift Recovery Jack

Vehicle Fitment

Universal - not vehicle specific. The El Gato EG1 is compatible with any off-road vehicle equipped with an appropriate bumper, rock slider, jack mount, or recovery point capable of accepting a high-lift jack's lifting tooth. Compatible with Go Rhino's 4-CORE El Gato Jack Mount Kit (5950070T) and XRS Overland jack mounting accessories.

Fitment Notes

• The El Gato EG1 ships fully assembled and ready to use. Read the complete operation manual before use to ensure safe setup and operation procedures are followed.
• The lifting tooth is removable and interchangeable with optional El Gato accessories - including the Extended Tooth and Tire Strap Hook - which expand the jack's lifting capabilities for different recovery scenarios. Optional accessories sold separately.
• A dedicated storage bag accessory is available separately to protect and transport the El Gato during overland travel.
• When mounted to a vehicle using Go Rhino's 4-CORE El Gato Jack Mount Kit (5950070T), the jack's lifting tooth engages directly with the mount's integrated toothed rail for vehicle-mounted high-lift recovery use.

Features

• Hydraulically-assisted operation eliminates the mechanical effort of traditional hi-lift jacks - the El Gato EG1's maintenance-free dual-reservoir hydraulic system generates lifting force on both the upward and downward stroke of the handle, delivering 1 inch of lift per full stroke cycle and cutting the number of pump strokes required compared to conventional single-acting mechanical jacks.
• Single-action relief lever controls load descent - the lever delivers a slow, smooth, and controlled descent rate that prevents the sudden drop characteristic of some mechanical hi-lift jack release mechanisms, reducing the risk of load instability during lowering.
• Nine double-lugged locking points engage the toothed rail at nine positions across the full lifting range, providing exceptional holding security at any lift height while under load - each locking point is double-lugged for redundant engagement strength.
• Double-shear, quick-release locking bars allow fast setup and release - the double-shear design distributes locking forces across two shear points per bar for increased strength compared to single-shear locking bar designs.
• Convenient finger-lift access enables effortless one-handed handling of the jack body during setup and repositioning - allowing the operator to manage the jack without needing to grip and carry the full unit by the handle in confined recovery situations.
• Primary body construction combines aircraft-grade 6062-T6 extruded aluminum, CNC billet machined aluminum, and sand-cast aluminum across different components - using the most structurally and geometrically appropriate aluminum form for each part of the jack to optimize strength, precision, and weight simultaneously.
• 6062-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum main body with a charcoal anodized finish provides exceptional strength-to-weight performance and corrosion resistance for sustained outdoor and trail use - the anodized surface is integral to the aluminum rather than a coating applied on top, providing permanent protection without peeling or flaking.
• Ergonomic cast-aluminum handle with a black powder-coat finish provides a secure, comfortable grip during pumping operation and resists corrosion, impact, and abrasion in off-road recovery environments.
• Black anodized single-action relief lever completes the all-aluminum construction with a consistent corrosion-resistant finish across the jack's operating components.
• 27.5-inch lifting range from 21 inches (minimum lift height of 6 inches at the base) to 48.5 inches maximum lift height covers a wide range of recovery lift requirements - from low-clearance stock vehicles to significantly lifted off-road builds.
• Backed by a 5-year warranty against manufacturing and material defects.

Product Description

The Go Rhino XG-RJ50010B is the El Gato EG1 Hydraulic High-Lift Recovery Jack, part of Go Rhino's Xventure Gear off-road recovery line. The El Gato - Spanish for "the cat" - takes its name from the way its hydraulic head climbs a toothed metal rail like a feline ascending a tree, engaging nine double-lugged locking points along the toothed support for precise, secure lift height control at any point in the 27.5-inch lifting range. The EG1 is a hydraulic-assisted high-lift jack rather than a conventional mechanical hi-lift design: its maintenance-free dual-reservoir hydraulic system generates upward force on both the upward and downward handle stroke, delivering 1 inch of lift per full stroke cycle and meaningfully reducing the total pump strokes required to achieve maximum lift height compared to traditional single-acting mechanical jacks.

Descent is controlled through a single-action relief lever that releases load weight slowly and smoothly - eliminating the sudden drop that characterizes the release mechanisms on many mechanical hi-lift jacks and reducing the risk of load shift and instability when lowering the vehicle. Double-shear, quick-release locking bars handle setup and release efficiently, with the double-shear design distributing load forces across two shear points per bar for greater holding strength under the 4,400-lb. rated capacity. The jack's construction draws on three forms of aircraft-grade aluminum: 6062-T6 extruded aluminum for the main body (charcoal anodized), CNC billet machined aluminum for precision-tolerance components, and sand-cast aluminum where complex geometry is required - resulting in an all-aluminum jack that weighs 25.6 lbs while supporting up to 4,400 lbs at maximum lift height. The standard lifting tooth is removable and interchangeable with optional accessories including the Extended Tooth and Tire Strap Hook (sold separately), adapting the EG1 for a wider range of recovery scenarios beyond standard bumper and rock slider lifting.

The El Gato EG1 is compatible with Go Rhino's 4-CORE El Gato Jack Mount Kit (5950070T) for vehicle-mounted storage and integrated recovery use, and with the full Xventure Gear accessory ecosystem. Ships fully assembled. Backed by a 5-year warranty against manufacturing and material defects.
