Features
Buttress Thread
• The load screw in each Whiting jack is a machined buttress thread
• The buttress thread has an inherent self locking feature which makes them ideal for lifting equipment applications
• No other manufacturer of jacks uses buttress threads
Screw In-Compression
• Our in compression design eliminates the possible breakage in shear when the jacks are under load
• The worst case failure scenario of a screw in compression design is general wear of the threads
• Other manufacturers differ in having their load screws in tension
Self-locking
• Whiting's jacks are self-locking in case of power failure
Synchronization
• Whiting's "hoist duty" jack motors are all designed and tested to be synchronized to each other as matched sets, to ensure that all jack screws are turning at the same speed
• This eliminates the need for expensive equipment to continuously monitor any variation in turning speed and lifting height variations
Electrical Controls
• All electrical components are UL/CSA approved
