Adjustable Scaffolding Base Jack (Solid & Hollow Screw Jacks)

Our adjustable scaffolding base jacks—available in both solid and hollow (tubular) configurations—are designed to provide critical leveling and high-capacity load support for scaffold towers and formwork shoring systems. Manufactured under the trusted TFCO brand by Tianjin Friend Steel Group, these heavy-duty screw jacks feature cold-rolled Acme threads to guarantee smooth height adjustments from 450mm up to 900mm. Built with premium structural carbon steel and a welded base plate, TFCO adjustable jacks compensate safely for uneven ground conditions on commercial construction and industrial projects.

Key Advantages

High Load-Bearing Safety: Built with structural-grade Q235 or Q355 carbon steel, our base jacks provide robust vertical support, with the solid shaft variant designed for heavy shoring and the hollow variant offering a lightweight, cost-effective alternative for standard access scaffolds.
Precision Roll-Threaded Shafts: Features precise trapezoidal or Acme threads roll-formed for maximum load redistribution. The cold-rolled process increases the surface hardness of the thread, preventing binding or thread stripping during adjustment.
Robust Welded Base Plate: Each base plate is automatically CO2 welded to the screw shaft, ensuring a perpendicular connection that eliminates lateral shifting and maintains structural stability on uneven terrain.
Durable Anti-Corrosion Options: Available in hot-dip galvanized, electro-galvanized, or painted finishes to protect the leveling mechanism against rust, dirt buildup, and concrete splatter during intense job site use.

Product Applications

Ringlock and Cuplock Systems: Placed at the bottom of scaffold standards (uprights) to level and support modular scaffold systems.
Heavy Shoring & Formwork Support: Used under concrete slab support frameworks to adjust and secure structural heights before concrete pouring.
Mobile Scaffold Towers: Serves as the height-adjustment anchor alongside heavy-duty caster wheels for interior decoration or repair towers.
Industrial Infrastructure Projects: Deployed in oil refineries, civil bridge building, and power plants to establish a flat scaffold base over uneven ground.

Packaging & Delivery

Packaging: Standard packaging involves bundling the screw jacks into steel pallets or heavy-duty wire mesh crates secured with high-tensile steel straps, preventing thread abrasion and physical shifting during maritime shipping.
FOB Loading Port: Standard export shipments depart directly from Tianjin Port, China. Coordinated by our specialized international trading division (Tianjin Friend Import and Export Co., Ltd.), we ensure optimal space planning within 20GP/40HQ containers.
Quality Control: Every production batch undergoes strict dimensional auditing, weld-penetration tests, thread fitment inspections, and load deflection tests to meet EN74, BS1139, and ANSI safety standards.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What is the primary difference between solid and hollow base jacks?
A: Solid base jacks are manufactured from solid steel round bars, offering superior structural strength and load capacity for heavy shoring formwork. Hollow base jacks use heavy-wall structural steel pipes, which are lighter and more cost-effective for standard access scaffolding towers where weight reduction and ease of transport are prioritized.

A: For structural safety, we recommend maintaining a minimum insertion length (overlap) of 150mm inside the scaffold standard. Therefore, a 600mm base jack has a maximum safe adjustment range of up to 450mm.

A: Hot-Dipped Galvanized (HDG) offers the best longevity, as it coats both the outer threads and the interior of hollow shafts with a thick zinc barrier, making it ideal for marine or humid construction projects. For standard projects, our electro-galvanized finish is a cost-efficient and smooth option.

A: Yes, as a dedicated manufacturer under Tianjin Friend Steel Group, we support full customization. We can adjust the base plate dimensions (e.g., 150x150mm, 120x120mm), base thickness (5mm to 8mm), and thread profiles (Acme or Trapezoidal) to meet your regional safety codes.
