Introduction to Acro Jacks

Acro jacks, also known as adjustable steel supports or screw jacks, are versatile tools used extensively in construction and civil engineering for temporary support. These devices provide a stable platform for supporting structural components during building or repair activities. Their adjustable nature makes them ideal for varying support demands on construction sites.

Technical Specifications

Acro jacks are typically made from high-strength steel and consist of an outer tube, an inner tube, and a threaded rod for height adjustment. Key parameters include:

• Load capacity: Typically ranges from 1,500 kg to 4,000 kg.
• Adjustable height: Commonly extends from 1.6 meters to 3.6 meters.
• Tube diameter: Often about 50 mm for the outer tube and 40 mm for the inner tube.
• Thread pitch: Usually set at 6 mm to 8 mm per revolution for precise adjustments.

Applications of Acro Jacks

The primary use of acro jacks is in temporary structural support during the erection of walls, ceilings, and frameworks. Their robust construction and adjustability make them essential in:

• Providing temporary support to concrete formwork during curing.
• Supporting beams and floors during renovation and alteration work.
• Stabilizing walls and temporary structures in seismic retrofitting projects.

Purchasing Options

Acro jacks can be purchased from various suppliers specializing in construction equipment. When purchasing, consider both local and international suppliers to explore competitive pricing and delivery options. Some notable sellers include:

• Local hardware and construction supply stores.
• Online marketplaces such as Amazon and eBay with a range of international brands.
• Wholesale suppliers who offer bulk discounts, essential for larger projects.
