Apparently one used to be able to get log-splitter attachments for 
Jackall high lift jacks a few years ago, and presumably also for the 
High-Lift equivalent.
So it says in this older site:

So it appears they do have enough leverage.

Jackall now owned by Pull-r Company:

High-lift:
http://www.hi-lift.com/products/jacks.htm

If they aren't available anymore (check for New Old Stock at eBay) it 
shouldn't be too hard to make something.

Cheers,

Chris Green.
