## Overview

The Vestil FJB-16 Basement Floor Jack is a heavy-duty, telescoping steel support post designed to stabilize and level floor beams with precision. Featuring a 12" to 16" adjustable height range, a robust 9738 lbs load capacity, and a corrosion-resistant red oxide finish, it ensures reliable, temporary support during construction or repairs. Its dual-lock pins and pre-drilled end plates enable secure, hassle-free installation on concrete surfaces.

## Description

This Vestil welded steel floor jack post (also called a basement floor jack) has a red oxide coating, a screw and turning bar, and dual-lock pins, and it extends telescopically for temporarily leveling, bracing, and stabilizing floor beams and joists during construction or repairs. The floor jack post can be adjusted and set to any height within the given range, allowing it to be used in applications with different height requirements. Welded steel provides strength. A turning bar and screw bolt are used to adjust the floor jack post's height, and two dual-lock pins secure the floor jack post at the desired height. The floor jack post has a diameter of 3". Both end plates are pre-drilled and measure 3-1/2 x 6 inches. The floor jack post should be installed on a concrete floor or concrete footing, with either end up. Basement floor jacks, or jack posts, temporarily secure floor beams and joists in construction and industrial applications; they should not be used as permanent supports in new construction. Floor jack posts are typically made of steel for strength. They consist of an adjustable post and two end plates. The height of a floor jack post is adjusted using a screw and the post is held at the desired height with a series of pins. The bottom end plate must be installed on a concrete floor or concrete footing. Bolts must be used to secure each end plate to the structure the post is supporting, and a floor jack post's end plates may or may not have pre-drilled holes for these bolts. Vestil Manufacturing Corp. manufactures materials handling equipment, including jib and gantry cranes, loading dock equipment, and storage solutions. The company, founded in 1968, is headquartered in Angola, IN.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Do you need to pour concrete footings for underneath the jack?**
A: Not necessarily, BUT these jacks must have a firm foundation or they may press into soft soil and loosen over time. Usually, crawl spaces under structures are damp - assuming your area of the country is not rock or hard ground. You can use precast concrete piers which can be bought at most building material stores or you can used crushed stone with a concrete block cap leveled in a bed of the stones. If you use stone and a concrete block, make sure you dig a bowl-like place to hold the stone and that it is big enough to have about 4 to 6 inches of stone bigger than the concrete pier or block. Level the piers or blocks before putting weight on them. These jacks are not designed to replace permanent house piers but to stiffen floors or help level settled floor joists.  I used about 10 jacks to support 4 x 6 treated beams to lift and stiffen an existing floor.  The short answer is no, the jacks don't have to have poured footings, but they do have to have footings that can spread the weight evenly. They should not be placed on the ground without some sort of footing. I have used them both ways - with poured footings for the heaviest loads and gravel-block footings for lighter weight areas. Hope this helps.

**Q: how much will this lift ?**
A: Well, the supplied rod used to turn the jack will bend.  I bought some grade 8 bolts to replace them and used a cheater pipe and bent the bolts too.  I don't know how much the house weighed, but the jack didn't fail.  The ability to turn the screw limited how much I could lift.  Also the lift height of 12-16 inches means the threaded shaft is only 4 or so  inches long, so use caution not to screw it all the way out with a load on it.

**Q: Is there a locking feature on this jack to prevent it from creeping out of adjustment?**
A: No.  Stay away from the end of the lift stroke also.  the adjustment bar is cheap and will bend.  Otherwise this does the job and has not moved once I adjusted.

**Q: Is this product available in other lengths?**
A: No
