ADJUSTABLE FORK HEAD JACK BASE FORMWORK BEAM STEEL PROP SYSTEM

Scaffolding base jacks, also known as screw jacks or leveling jacks, are essential for ensuring the stability and safety of scaffolding structures, particularly on uneven ground. Their primary function is to provide a level and adjustable base for the scaffold legs, allowing for compensation on uneven surfaces and maintaining a stable, horizontal working platform. 

Here's a more detailed explanation of their function:

• Leveling:

  Scaffolding base jacks are designed to adjust the height of the scaffold's legs, enabling you to compensate for variations in the ground surface. This ensures that all the legs are firmly planted and the scaffold remains level, even on uneven terrain. 

• Stability and Support:

  By providing a solid and level base, base jacks help distribute the weight of the scaffold and its load evenly, preventing sinking into soft surfaces or tipping on uneven ground. 

• Height Adjustment:

  Base jacks allow for fine-tuning of the scaffold's height, enabling you to adjust the working platform to the desired elevation and ensure that it's safe and secure. 

• Safety:

  Using base jacks is crucial for maintaining a stable and safe working environment for all those working on the scaffold. By ensuring a level and secure base, they minimize the risk of accidents and injuries. 

• Load Transfer:

  Base jacks help transfer the load of the scaffold and its occupants down to the ground, ensuring that the structure is adequately supported. 

• Compatibility:

  Base jacks are designed to be compatible with various scaffolding systems, including tube and fitting scaffolding, as well as more modern systems like Cuplock, Ringlock, and Kwikstage.
