Product Overview
All Ellis Light Duty Steel Lifting Shores now come with the 4 lug lifting nut. Used the 3/4" Diameter Steel Adjustment Rod to lift loads.
The patented Ellis Thrust Bearings on the Light Duty Lifting Shores enable these shores to lift up to 10x the amount of load compared to the standard Light Duty Steel Shores (w/o bearings). Adjustable structural support column for temporary or permanent support with a patented nut housing tiny thrust bearings to allow for easier adjustment under load and jacking weight with significantly less force. Add any length 3/4" Diameter Steel Adjustment Rod for extra leverage.
Unlike the Standard Steel Shore, these with Roller Bearings are built as one complete unit to aid in uplift resistance and do not come apart. Furthermore, we've added a "set screw" in the side of the nut, and when tightened down locks the adjustment handle in place for permanent or long term shoring applications.
The top 6" x 6" top plate is attached with a clevis pin and interchangeable with different shapes and sizes. Click here to see a few of the different tops to choose from: STEEL SHORE TOPS.
*All Load Capacities include a 2.5 to 1 Factor of Safety.

*Steel Shores should be attached to a flat solid foundation with fasteners that can support the desired load amount. Steel Shores should not be subject to any lateral force. We recommend tightening set screw in the side of the nut with 6mm allen wrench prior to loading. Do not extend screw past advertised adjustment range. Do not exceed max safe load capacity. Before construction begins it is recommended that you consult with a certified engineer for approval of our products within your application.
