Adjustable Jack Accessories
- Adjustable Base Jacks: These are the primary components that provide height adjustment. They are threaded rods with a base plate at the bottom and a nut at the top. By rotating the nut, the length of the rod can be adjusted, allowing for changes in height.
- The base plates are flat plates at the bottom of the adjustable base jacks that provide stability and distribute the load over a larger area. They are designed to sit on the ground and support the weight of the scaffold.
- Swivel Base Plates: Some adjustable jacks come with swivel base plates that allow for greater flexibility in adjusting to uneven surfaces. The swivel feature enables the base plate to tilt and adapt to the slope of the ground.
- U-Head or Top Plates: These are the components at the top of the adjustable jack that provide support for the scaffold structure. They often have a U-shaped design to accommodate scaffold tubes or other structural elements.
- Locking Mechanisms: To secure the adjusted height, some adjustable jacks have locking mechanisms, such as locking collars or pins, to prevent unintentional movement and ensure stability.
- Handle or Wrench: A handle or wrench is used to rotate the nut on the adjustable jack, allowing for easy and precise height adjustments.
