A base jack (scaffolding base jack /adjustable base jack) is a core scaffolding accessory used in construction for adjusting height and load-bearing capacity. It mainly consists of a threaded rod, a nut handle, and a base plate. Vertical height can be adjusted by rotating the nut handle, ensuring the scaffolding remains level and vertical on uneven ground, ensuring construction safety and scaffolding system stability. EK Scaffolding manufactures according to CE and ISO standards, possessing professional technology in forging processes, surface treatment, and thread production, which extends the service life of the base jack. Common base jacks include solid threaded rods, hollow threaded rods, rotating threaded rods, U-head base jack, and base plate.

Base Jack Technical Highlights:
1. Manufacturing Process: Manufactured using professional forging technology to ensure structural strength and heavy load-bearing capacity.
2. Materials and Corrosion Protection: Manufactured using high-quality materials, with galvanized and anti-corrosion surface treatment for a longer service life.
3. Adjustment Function: The high-strength helical thread structure allows for precise adjustment of scaffolding height, suitable for uneven ground.
4. Safety Standards: Compliant with international standards (CE, ISO), product design emphasizes high stability and safety.
5. Main Applications: Applicable to construction projects such as high-rise buildings, bridges, and tunnels.
Base jacks from different manufacturers may vary slightly in details. EK Scaffolding has compiled a table of common base jack core parameters.
Parameter Item | Common Specification Range | Remarks |
Screw Diameter | 30mm, 34mm, 35mm, 38mm | 38mm is the most common (matches 48.3mm steel pipe). |
Screw Type | Solid or Hollow | Solid has higher load-bearing capacity, hollow is lighter. |
Screw Material Grade | Q235, Q345 (carbon structural steel), Q355, 20# steel | Corresponds to international standard S235 or S355. |
Total Height | 380mm, 400mm, 500mm, 550mm, 600mm, 650mm, 710mm, 750mm, 1000mm, 1500mm | 600mm is the most commonly used specification in engineering. |
Adjustable Stroke | 100mm-1300mm | It is recommended to leave at least 150mm-200mm inside the pipe when using it. |
