What is Base Jack?

Scaffolding screw jack base is made of screw tube and sheet metal plate, and assembled with casted nut. The application is support scaffolding system, ringlock scaffolding system, cuplock scaffolding system, kwikstage scaffolding system, haki scaffolding system, tube&clamp scaffolding system and also formwork system, adjusting the construction system height flexibly.

Construction is usually carried out at a height above the ground. Scaffolding is used to provide a stable and secure working platform for construction workers on the ground or where ladders or lifting devices cannot reach. 

Scaffolding is usually considered a temporary structure entered by internal or external workers. Many workplaces are uneven, and scaffolding adjustable base jacks help to provide a safe and level working surface at a variety of working heights on the ground.
A scaffolding leveling jacks is a scaffolding jack used to hold scaffolding in place horizontally. The scaffolding screw jack is mounted on a stable base and contains a large adjustable screw for moving scaffolding up and down. After scaffolding is built, use base jack scaffolding to level the working platform before use. Adjustable U-Head Jacks are designed to be used in conjunction with adjustable system scaffolding. The main function of adjustable U-Head jack is to hold timber beams securely in place.

How To Choose Between Solid Base Jacks And Hollow Base Jacks?

The choice of base jack primarily depends on project load requirements and cost control. It is recommended to match the base jack to the design value of the axial force of a single upright based on engineering calculations, ensuring a safety factor of no less than 2:1.

Solid Base Jacks: Offer extremely high load-bearing capacity and are typically used in heavy-duty support systems (such as for cast-in-place bridge beam construction). They are heavy and highly stable.
Hollow Base Jacks: Made from seamless steel tubing, they are lighter and easier for workers to handle. They are suitable for standard building formwork system and offer good cost-effectiveness.
 

Scaffolding Adjustable U-head Jack

Scaffolding adjustable U-head jack is designed for use in combination with adjustable system supports. The main function of the Scaffolding adjustable U-head jack is to hold the wooden beam in place. The Scaffolding adjustable U-head jacks we offer are of high quality standard, and these have a pure zinc plated finished, thus adding to its gloss. These are all adjustable and therefore the greatest advantage of these products. This was done under the scrutiny of experts, thus ensuring superior performance.

 

What Is The Difference Between U-Head Jack And Base Jack?

Although both use screws to adjust height, their functional logic is completely different:

Base Jack: Typically used for bottom support, with a flat steel base, focusing on pressure resistance and preventing settlement.
U-Head Jack: Typically used for top support, equipped with a U-shaped open steel plate, focusing on creating crossbeams and preventing tipping.
 

What are the standard dimensions of U-Head Jack (U-Plate Jack)?

The dimensions of a U-Head Jack must match the width of mainstream beams (such as wooden or aluminum beams):
Standard Width: Commonly 150mm or 170mm.
Side Wing Height: Typically 100mm or 150mm, used to prevent the beam from slipping under load.
Steel Plate Thickness: Core standards require between 6mm and 8mm to prevent deformation under heavy loads.
 
Features Standard U-Head Jack Heavy Duty U-Head
Screw Diameter 30mm / 34mm 38mm / 48mm
Typical Load Capacity 30 - 50 kN 60 - 100 kN

How To Install Base Jack To Level The Floor.

If the building is built on expansive soil, therefore, with regular movement, a scaffolding screw jack can replace concrete piers between solid wood columns and girders that support the floor joists.

A scaffolding leveling jacks is a metal support column that can be adjusted to make the floor level. It consists of two heavy steel tubes, one inside the other. The inner tube is threaded and adjusted up and down by turning a large wing nut. scaffolding screw jack are fixed with nails to the underside of the girder and to wooden blocks on top of the concrete wharf.

 

 

Here’s How To Install A Scaffolding Screw Jack

1. In this process a hydraulic jack and a short column are used to support the floor.

2. Use hammers, nail pullers and sledgehammers to remove existing supporting posts and nails.

3. Place the scaffolding adjustable scaffolding screw jack under the beams and the wooden blocks on the concrete piers in the middle.

4. Adjust the scaffolding screw base jack so that the top and bottom panels are flush with the top and bottom wood surfaces.

5. Drive the 16 -penny nail through the hole in the plate and into the wooden frame.

6. Lower the hydraulic jack and transfer the floor load to the new scaffolding screw jack.

7. Adjust the scaffolding jack up and down to make the surface smooth.
