My customer wood single side deadlift jack made courtesy of Big Moe (Brookings Barbell Club on gym radar). I consider this thing a cool work of art in the gym. I don't actually use it for deadlifts much because we have dedicated double jacks. With heavy weight you need to make sure to use this one properly to avoid wrecking it.

Had my dad make some of these before I upgraded. Not much better than just rolling the weights onto a plate.

I have used a few different homemade deadlift jacks over the years from thread black plumbing iron, wooden, and welded they all had their pros and cons. My recommendation is just buy a full size jack if you have the space.

The most basic deadlift jack is a 2.5lb plate. Simply place the plate infront of the 45 closest to the collar and roll the weights onto the 2.5. It raises them all off the ground high enough that you can take all the other plates off.

I made one of these Deadlift jacks before I purchased the mini jack from Rogue. Here is the link for the build. https://www.endofthreefitness.com/how-to-build-a-mini-deadlift-jack/. This jack is still in use, though, at my buddy's gym and has lasted 10 years. It was fun to build.

I made my own deadlift jack based on the KB Genesis Jack. Mine is just a 2x6 with a slot for the bar, a handle, and some 2x4 feet that act as the lever. I’ve jacked up an 800lb deadlift so about 400lb supported by the jack with clearance and no issues
