Our Jacking Equipment

Our hydraulic jacking range has been developed to provide the construction industry with an unrivalled service for the controlled application of high load hydraulic systems.

For each construction or engineering project with a hydraulic jacking element, our Project Engineers and Hydraulic Technicians will design and detail the full jacking system, tailoring layout, hydraulic pressurising and control systems best suited to the specific application.

Hydraulic jack hire

Our range of jacking equipment is available for hire with hydraulic jacks supplied for a variety of applications including building refurbishment, sliding, monitoring & control, and most commonly bridge jacking.

First class hydraulic jacks

We ensure all jacking systems work to the best possible standards prior to hire. Our hydraulics experts inspect every jack at our extensive in-house testing and calibration facility, making sure equipment is fully tested and certified and issued with a calibration certificate.

Bridge jacking

We've helped deliver thousands of bridging projects across the UK's road and rail network with bridge jacking support. Our jacking engineers consider the full scope of the project, making an assessment to deliver the project with minimal disruption and cost.

Our bridge jacking support covers a wide range of applications, from planned maintenance for bearing replacement works to deck support lifts to enable concrete casting for a new bridge.

We're also able to carry out emergency bridge strike repairs to damaged piers - we have an Engineering  Emergency response team available 24/7, 365 days a year with a fleet of jacking specialists and bridge jacking solutions. So, whatever the project we can help!
