When purchasing jacks, it is necessary to choose a thicker base. Many people do not understand the benefits of this thicker base? Below, we will provide a detailed introduction to the benefits of thickening the base of a jack.

A thickened base can significantly reduce the center of gravity height of the jack. According to the principles of physics, the lower the center of gravity, the stronger the stability of an object. During the lifting operation, when the jack is subjected to the pressure of heavy objects, a lower center of gravity can effectively reduce the possibility of the jack overturning due to external interference (such as slight shaking, wind force, or small ground vibrations).

A thicker base helps to distribute the weight carried more evenly. When the jack lifts a heavy object, the pressure will be transmitted to the ground through the base. A thicker base can better distribute these pressures and avoid situations where the ground sinks or is damaged due to excessive local pressure. Especially in some areas with relatively weak ground bearing capacity, such as soft soil, uneven roads, or old cement floors, thickening the base of the jack can effectively reduce damage to the ground, while ensuring its stability and safety when carrying heavy objects, allowing the jack to work normally in more different types of ground environments.

In lifting operations, the process of lifting heavy objects inevitably generates some shaking and vibration. A thicker base can increase the overall mass and inertia of the jack, thereby better absorbing and buffering these shaking and vibrations. This not only protects the lifted heavy object from potential damage caused by excessive shaking, but also reduces the impact on surrounding equipment, facilities, and operators.

Due to the thickened base's ability to effectively disperse pressure, reduce shaking and vibration, and enhance stability, this series of advantages helps to reduce the various stresses and wear that the jack is subjected to during use. Compared with ordinary base jacks, the internal mechanical structure, hydraulic system and other components of the jack are subjected to less impact and fatigue damage, which can significantly extend the overall service life of the jack, reduce the cost incurred by enterprises due to frequent equipment maintenance or replacement, and improve the efficiency and economic benefits of equipment use.
