Description
Added convenience while jacking..1/4" steel plate with rim to aid in centering the post, prevent the post from slipping off the jack, and to minimize any post base damage via load distribution. 3-5/8” square opening to fit the typical 4"x4" (nominal) post..Fully welded construction and powder coat finish..Max 2" opening to accommodate most jack saddles. 4/EA screws included and used for positioning the post directly over the jack. Screw thread distance to baseplate is 5/16", so please check your jack saddle thickness. Smaller saddles may not contact the entire screw face, so adding properly sized steel shims/washers (not included - see video) between saddle and baseplate may remendy said issue on thinner saddles. You can center on sloped saddles, but tightening may or may not work..WARNING: This product aids in centering the jacking post over the jack saddle, which is just ONE point of alignment in the lifting assembly. This product was NOT made to afix the adaptor to the saddle to allow for working on uneven ground or using if the load above is off-centered from the jack/post. Under these conditions, your jack will just-as-easially tip..NOTE: Some older, swollen, or various other 4x4 lumber may be larger than 3-1/2”. It’s likely that 99% of the posts from a home improvement and lumber yards will fit. If yours does not fit, you have a choice of carefully chiseling/trimming the bottom 3/4” of the post or finding a normal post to use..DISCLAIMER: From the heavy steel construction, the centering ability, and the tight post clearance, heavy emphasis went into this design to ensure you have a safer jacking experience. Ultimately, jack safety is YOUR responsibility. Please research jack safety if you need additional guidance. Jacking is dangerous. You can get hurt or die by not using proper safety, overloading, working on slopes, using defective equipment, etc. This device may or may not make jacking safer..Adapter and screws only. Bottle jack nor the post is included.
