Adjustable screw jack supplied with a U-head cradle for the top and a base plate for the bottom.
The MerForge screw jack covers both ends of a prop. The same threaded rod is supplied with a forged U-head cradle for the top and a flat base plate for the bottom, so one item either levels a formwork soffit or carries a scaffold standard. The rolled thread with a large adjusting nut sets the working level precisely under load, then releases freely for striking.
U-head for the top of the prop and a base plate for the bottom — order them as a matched set or separately.
The formed U-head positively locates timber bearers or scaffold tube, preventing the soffit rolling off.
A rolled thread with a large hex nut gives smooth, precise levelling under load.
Solid or heavy-wall tubular screw rated for slab formwork loads in excess of 25 kN.
Standard galvanizing protects the thread from corrosion so it stays free-running.
Dimensions follow EN 74 / BS 1139 series. Custom sizes produced to drawing.
