Adjustable U-Head Jack for Scaffolding | Formwork Beam Support

Hold your beams steady with Hyson's U-Head Jacks. Smooth adjustment, no jamming, and built to carry heavy slab loads. Perfect for H20 beams and steel pipes.

Think of the Adjustable U-Head Jack as the "steady hands" at the top of your scaffolding system. While the scaffold tower does the lifting, the U-Head has one crucial job: safely holding your formwork beams (like H20 timber or steel pipes) and making sure your concrete slab is perfectly level.
At Hyson, we know there’s nothing more frustrating than a screw jack that gets stuck when you’re trying to adjust the final height. That’s why we use Cold-Rolling Technology for our threads. This means the screw is smooth, tough, and spins easily—even when you’re wearing thick work gloves or dealing with a bit of site dust. It’s built to take the heavy pressure from the concrete pour and transfer it straight down to the ground, keeping your structure safe and your floor flat.

Product Features

  • Spin it with Ease (Cold-Rolled Threads): We don't cut into the steel; we roll it. This preserves the steel's strength and creates a smooth, rounded thread that doesn't jam. You can adjust it quickly without fighting the jack.
  • Rock-Solid Welding: The connection between the screw stem and the U-plate is the most critical point. Our ISO-certified welders ensure a full, deep weld all around. The head stays on, period.
  • Drilled for Safety: Our U-plates come with pre-drilled holes. Why? So you can nail or bolt the beam to the jack if needed. No slipping, no sliding.
  • Built for Abuse: Construction sites are tough. Our galvanized finish resists rust and corrosion, meaning you can reuse these jacks project after project. Rental companies love them because they last.

Application Scenarios

  • Holding H20 Timber Beams: The classic setup. The U-shape is sized perfectly to cradle timber beams, preventing them from tipping over.
  • Supporting Steel Walers: Whether you use box iron or twin steel pipes, the sturdy U-plate keeps them locked in place.
  • Final Leveling: The "last mile" of precision. After the scaffold is built, use the U-Head to fine-tune the height millimeter by millimeter for a super-flat slab.
  • Bridge & Heavy Casting: For thick concrete slabs where you need a solid bar jack that won't bend under pressure.
