📘 What Are Hydraulic Strand Jacks?
Hydraulic strand jacks are specialized lifting systems that use bundles of high-strength steel strands passing through a hydraulic jack body.
The system grips, pulls, releases, and re-grips the strands in a controlled sequence, allowing structures to be lifted or lowered incrementally. Because the lifting height is determined by strand length rather than cylinder stroke, strand jacks can move loads over extremely large distances.
Strand jack systems are commonly used when conventional cranes are impractical or when precise load control is critical.
