TranzSporter Wall Jacks.
TranzSporter Wall Jacks by Tie Down Engineering are designed to
easily lift prefabricated walls into a vertical position. Each individual 16’
Wall Jack is capable of lifting 1,000 lbs with a maximum wall height of 10’
6”. TranzSporter Wall Jacks are also available in a 20’ and 23’ model.
The maximum weight capacity for the 20’ and 23’ models is 500 lbs (per
each jack); the 20’ model can lift a wall with a height of 13’ 6’ while the
23’ model can lift a 15’ 6” wall. TranzSporter Wall Jacks are sold in pairs.
Each Wall Jack comes with a lower tube and an upper tube, which
telescopes out making carrying to and from jobsites more convenient. A
pin is used to hold these tubes in a lifting position.
1) Framing for Tilt Up With TranzSporter Wall Jacks
In order to keep the framed wall from sliding off of the sub floor during
the lifting procedure, there are two techniques available.
A) Toe nail the lower plate to the sub floor on the upper side (Figure 1).
B) Use a metal strap nailed down.
2) Positioning The Wall Stop
The wall stop holds the framed wall in a standing position after it has
been lifted (Figure 2). The stop should be set and tightened prior to lifting.
For the correct placement of the wall stop use the chart on the lower wall
jack tube or on page 3 (measurement is from the jack foot to the wall
stop. The correct placement of the wall stop may also be calculated using
the equation: Example: 108” wall x 1.45 = 156.60” or 13’
2A) PIN
Make sure that the pin has been inserted through the holes of both
square tubes prior to hoisting the wall (figure 3). Secure pin by
attaching safety clip
2B) Wall Height Maximum
Important! Reference the chart placed on the lower tube. The
maximum height you can lift for your particular TranzSporter Wall
Jack is listed.
