Strand Jack Rentals

Widely recognized as the most sophisticated heavy lifting solution, a strand jack system provides precise synchronous control in a compact footprint. With lifting load capacities from 17 to 1,405 tons per jack, strand jack rentals are an ideal heavy lifting solution when a conventional crane is not practical or economical.

How Does a Strand Jack Work?

A strand jack is a linear winch in which a bundle of steel strands moves through a main lifting jack. Above and below the cylinder are anchor systems with wedges that grip the strand bundle simultaneously.

Strand Jack Operation Sequence

Lifting and lowering a load is achieved by hydraulically controlling the main jack and two mini jacks (at the top and bottom) alternately. If the system loses pressure, the wedges automatically close, mechanically locking the load in place. This safety features eliminates the dangers associated with the suspended loads of cranes.
