Ellis Manufacturing has provided reliable, heavy-duty structural supports since 1951. Our Steel Shores are designed for versatility and safety, offering adjustable heights from 3.25" to over 14' and safe load capacities reaching 80,000 lbs. Whether you are performing a temporary lift or installing permanent reinforcement, Ellis provides the engineering strength required for demanding residential and commercial applications.
Patented Thrust Bearing and Safety Lock
What sets Ellis Lifting Shores apart is our patented internal design, standard across both Light-Duty, Heavy-Dut, and Ultra-Duty models. Unlike traditional screw jacks that become difficult to turn as weight increases, our shores feature an integrated thrust bearing. This reduces friction by up to 10x, allowing for smooth, precision adjustments even when supporting maximum loads. This mechanical advantage ensures that leveling a structure is a controlled, one-person operation rather than a physical struggle..
