What Is Scaffolding U Head Jack
A Adjustable U head jack, also called U head prop, or U head screw jack, with a U-shaped end, is used to support or bear load or hold items like beams or another building element. For erecting scaffolding and supporting formwork, beams, and similar structures, this is a common practice. It is frequently paired with other scaffold items to structure and form an adjustable, steady, and versatile support system for beams, formwork(shuttering), and temporary structures.
Features Of U Head Scaffolding Jacks
The U head jack is positioned atop the cup lock standard (vertical) to extend the length by up to 300 – 600 mm. It's specifically tailored for use with adjustable system scaffolding, primarily aimed at securely holding timber beams in position.
The U-head Screw Jack is designed for effortless assembly due to its compact size and lightweight nature. This results in significant savings in terms of erection and disassembly costs, transportation, rental, and maintenance—typically around 30%.

-
U-Shaped Head
The top of the u jack for scaffolding is designed in a U-shape, allowing it to hold beams securely. -
Adjustable Height
The u jack for shuttering is equipped with a threaded shaft that allows for precise height adjustments, ensuring stability and level support. -
Corrosion Resistance
Often coated with a layer of galvanization or other protective finishes to prevent rust and corrosion, extending the lifespan of the equipment.
Scaffolding U head Jack are available in solid and hollow types, and each type supports customization in terms of surface finish, product size, and thickness.
The scaffolding head Jack treatment is suitable for ringlock scaffolding systems, but can also be used on steel prop systems, quicklock systems, and kwikstage systems. The application is extensive.
Adjustable U Head Application
Construction Sites: Widely used in building construction to support formwork and other temporary structures.
Infrastructure Projects: Essential in the construction of bridges, tunnels, and other infrastructure where formwork support is critical.
Temporary Structures: Used in various temporary construction setups, such as shoring and bracing.
