OSHA Required ESCO Jack Plates
OSHA regulation 29CFR 1926,305 requires that when lifting loads with hydraulic jacks that you must block the jack with a firm foundation.
When using ESCO high tonnage jacks, one of the things you want to insure is load stability. The importance of load stability cannot be understated. It can be the difference between tool failure and most importantly the safety and well being of the service person. The working conditions that the service person faces each day can be rough, from inclement weather to rugged and unstable terrain. We can’t do anything about the weather but, we can help battle the rough ground conditions. Load stability starts from the ground up. ESCO offers a line of jack plates to help keep the ESCO high tonnage jacks under load. The ESCO jack plates are 12” x 12” to provide a larger lifting “foot print” and are 1” thick for strength. They are strong but light weight. The plates are corrosion resistant and will not absorb moisture. They will not mushroom or warp. The ESCO jack plates are available in 3 different tonnage capacities. The 10751 for 55 ton jacks, the 10753 for 20 ton jacks, and the 10754 for 100 ton jacks. The ESCO jack plates are also available in “kit form”, the 10755 which includes the 10751, 10753, and 10754.
