Plate Jack® is a versatile solution that offers a range of lifting, leveling, weighing, and more capabilities. Imagine a hydraulic cylinder jack that is lighter, has less headroom, and is more cost-effective. The Plate Jack can be permanently installed, with over 5,000 units already in use worldwide. This makes it ideal for new and retrofit construction, repair, and renovation projects.
The advantages of Plate Jack are size and cost
Use Plate Jacks when you— have limited headroom, need permanent installation, have nonparallel bearing surfaces, have limited bearing pressure allowable, have need for light weight for handling, or are working in a corrosive environment.
Correction of settlements in existing structures

It’s ideal for limited headroom, requires a permanent installation, has non-parallel bearing surfaces, has limited bearing pressure allowable, demands lightweight for handling, or operates in a corrosive environment.
It’s ideal for temporary shoring, requiring a small footprint and capable of handling high bearing pressures with sufficient headroom.
