When ground conditions are uneven, your scaffold needs a reliable base before anything else goes up. The 6 Ton Standard Base Jack is a steel scaffold jack that addresses this at the foot of each standard. The scaffold standard is placed over the base jack spigot, and the threaded spindle lets you wind each leg to the correct height independently.
The jack carries a safe working load of 6 tonnes and weighs 4.70 kg. This scaffold base jack is made from steel. A scaffold base jack at each leg gives you independent height adjustment, keeping the structure level and ensuring weight is distributed evenly across the ground. This eliminates wobbling and tilting on sloped or uneven terrain, with your standards staying vertical and your working platform level from the start.
Screw jacks in scaffolding are standard practice on professional construction sites because level ground cannot be assumed. The 6 Ton Standard Base Jack suits construction and industrial applications where the ground is not flat. Getting the base level right at the start saves time and reduces the risk of instability as the scaffold rises.
Key Features and Benefits
6 tonne safe working load: Rated for demanding scaffolding applications on construction and industrial sites.
Threaded spindle: Allows precise height adjustment at the base of each scaffold standard to compensate for uneven ground.
Fixed base plate: Provides a stable footing on the ground at each leg of your scaffold.
Steel construction: The scaffold jack body, base plate, and spigot are all made from steel.
Weighs 4.70 kg: Positioned at the base of each scaffold standard before the structure goes up.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q. What is a screw jack in scaffolding?
A. A screw jack in scaffolding is a component fitted at the base of a scaffold standard to allow height adjustment. It uses a threaded spindle that you wind up or down to raise or lower that leg independently, with a fixed base plate sitting on the ground beneath it. The 6 Ton Standard Base Jack is made from steel and carries a 6 tonne safe working load.
Q. What is the advantage of having a jack on the legs of a scaffold?
A. A scaffold base jack at each leg gives you independent height adjustment, keeping the structure level and ensuring weight is distributed evenly across the ground. This eliminates wobbling and tilting on sloped or uneven terrain, so your standards stay vertical and your working platform stays at the correct level.
Q. How much weight can a scaffold jack hold?
A. The 6 Ton Standard Base Jack has a safe working load of 6 tonnes. This is the maximum load the jack is rated to carry in normal working conditions.
