No other method is so simple, so fast, or so inexpensive. Thousands are in use throughout the United States.

A minimum of two Proctor Wall Jacks must be used for any wall lift. (We furnish them in pairs.) Pin the tubes in the extended, working position.
|
|
The adjustable wall stops must be pre-set at approximately 1.45 times the wall height.
|
|
The lifting brackets are placed under the top plate or header and securely nailed. The bottom of the wall is secured with metal strapping to prevent it from slipping during the lift.
|
|
The Jacks are placed upright, flush against the lifting bracket. The hinged foot is securely nailed to the subfloor near a floor joist.
|
|
The lift begins, both Jacks being operated in unison. (If one worker is raising the wall, he simply moves from one Jack to the other, avoiding excessive twisting of the wall.)
|
|
The Jacks remain in contact with the top edge of the wall during the entire lift.
|
|
When the wall reaches the upright position, it is stopped and held firmly by the preset wall stops, which are adjustable.
|
|
The Wall Jacks provide a substantial brace until the wall can be permanently braced with the Proctor Adjustable Wall Braces.
