Load capacity based on actual load test results Douglas Fir #1 4x4 dressed lumber (3.5" square). Capacities include a standard 2.5/1 safety factor. Lumber must be cut square on both ends. Do not exceed recommended allowable safe load ratings in the above chart. Do not extend screw past advertised adjustment range.
*Caution, the acme screw of the 4x4 GALVANIZED Screw Jack will completely separate from the acme nut if screwed out too far. Do not extend the acme screw past the maximum adjustment of 6". This will insure that the threads of the acme nut will be used to support a heavy load. For maximum safe load capacity to be obtained, Ellis Screw Jack should be used with a 4x4 lumber cut to at least 5.5" long and subject to support straight loads only. We recommend tightening set screw in the side of the Screw Jack with a 6mm allen wrench prior to loading. Before construction begins it is recommended that you consult with certified structural engineer for approval of our products within your application.

Screw jack and joist holder made my job of replacing support posts on my deck a breeze. It also took the worry out of having an accident. Great item, I’ll be able to use this in all kind of projects because of the ability to use different size support posts.
Quality Jack Heavy Gauge Steel
Much better quality compared to what the big box stores had to offer. 1/4 inch thick base and handle, large greased screw. Well worth the cost, purchased four. Used in a crawl space to level a sagging floor. Fast shipping! Very happy that I found Ellis!
It does what they say it does
After looking at several different brands, I chose this one because it looked sturdy and I could cut an existing 4x4 at the rotted base and then use it to temporarily jack one end of the beam using the existing portion of the post that was still in good shape. I was surprised at the ease of turning the screw at the base. I bought two of these so I could install a second temporary post next to the one that was rotten, and then remove the now-shortened post on the other post. This method allows me to "walk" the beam supports along the length of the beam until I replace all the rotten posts. I couldn't be happier with my selection of this screw jack.
