You’re getting a base jack that actually holds up under load without bending—Q235 steel does that, and we’ve been shipping these for years to guys who know the difference between a cheap unit and one that won’t fail mid-span. It’s built for ringlock and cuplock systems, but it’ll fit kwikstage and haki too, so you’re not locked into one scaffold type, and the adjustability range is 400mm up to 1000mm (customizable if you need something outside that). Most buyers go with the 150×150mm base plate at 6mm thick for general work, but the 120×120mm is lighter and fine for lighter-duty setups.

threaded rod diameter runs from 30mm to 48mm—we stock 34mm and 35mm most often, but the 38mm is better than the smaller sizes for heavy loads, and you can get either solid or hollow versions depending on what you’re after. Surface treatment options are black, paint, electro galvanized, or hot dip galvanized; hot dip is what we recommend for outdoor jobs that’ll see rain or salt, but it adds about a week to lead time (usually 7-15 days for standard items). We’ve got SGS and CE certs on file, and the production standard is EN74/BS1139, so compliance isn’t a headache.

Lead time is roughly 10 days for standard specs—if you need 500 units or so, we can usually ship within that window, but custom branding or non-standard rod lengths push it closer to 15 days, so confirm before you commit. MOQ is negotiable, but we prefer orders over 200 pieces for bulk pricing; anything under that and you’re paying per-unit rates that aren’t much better than retail. Also, what it does is sit under the scaffold leg and let you level it on uneven ground—pretty straightforward, but some buyers forget to check the base plate thickness, and a 5mm plate will dent under heavy loads faster than a 6mm one will.

Packaging is steel pallet or bulk—steel pallet costs a bit more but keeps the threads form getting banged up in transit, which is a detail you’ll appreciate when you’re trying to spin a nut onto a bent rod. We don’t have perfect stock data on every diameter combination, so if you need 45mm rods with 160×160mm plates, just ask—our company can usually make it, but it’s not a standerd item we keep on the floor. The U-head jack version is better for holding wooden beams than the flat base plate, but it’s not suited for concrete slab work unless you’re using a plywood pad underneath.

Anyway, the 30mm rod is fine for light residential work, but most commerical crews go with 34mm or 35mm for the extra margin—it’s basically a matter of what your scaffold load calculations say. One thing buyers don’t always think to ask is the thread pitch: we use a standard metric thread that matches most couplers, but if you’re mixing systems from different suppliers, check compatibility first because a 32mm rod from us might not spin into a 32mm nut from another source. We’ve had a few returns on that, so it’s worth mentioning.
Solid base jacks are generally stronger and better for heavy loads, while hollow ones are lighter and more cost-effective. For ringlock systems, it depends on your load requirements—check the max load specs for each type, but solid is the safer bet for high-capacity jobs.
Yes, we can customize the screw rod to 48mm and the base plate to 160×160mm. Lead time for custom specs is typically 10-15 days, depending on the quantity.
Absolutely, we include SGS and CE certificates for all orders, including hot dip galvanized ones. Just request them with your order, and we'll send the docs along.
Our MOQ is negotiable, so we can handle mixed lengths in one order. For a standard mix, we'd start at around 200 pieces total, but let us know your exact needs and we'll work it out.
Yes, we offer steel pallet packaging to keep them secure, especially for large orders. Bulk packing is also available if you prefer, but steel pallets are better for avoiding dents or bending.
