Grip-Tite® Stabilizer
Are you looking for a reliable and heavy-duty solution for sagging floor joists and un-supported beams within a crawlspace? The Grip-Tite Stabilizer™ levels and stabilizes existing support beams and floor joists with minimal disturbance to surrounding areas. The Grip-Tite Stabilizer, complete with a high-strength 3-inch diameter steel column, heavy-duty adjustable threaded rod and connecting steel plate, installs quickly without messy concrete or excessive excavation. - Cost-competitive versus other jack-post or lolly column alternatives
- Stabilizer spacing can be adjusted to assure stresses in beam joists and soils are within acceptable limits.
- High capacity 3-inch O.D. steel pier column can be cut to desired length at job site
- Pre-drilled holes in steel plate allow for connection to beam or floor joists
- Heavy-duty 10-inch long threaded rod allows for easy adjustment
- Provides supplemental support of an axial load of up to 30,000 lbs. (30 Kips or 15 tons)
- Compacted crushed stone or crushed (recycled) concrete base effectively transfers the structural load from the stabilizer to the existing soils. A poured concrete base (footing) may also be considered.
- Utilizes Grip-Tite® Foundation Pier - 3.0-inch Outside Diameter (O.D.) x 0.120-inch wall tube steel, ultimate tensile strength = 80,000 psi (min.), yield tensile strength = 70,000 psi (min.)
- Capacities determined by an Independent Testing Laboratory:
Ultimate > 60 Kips Allowable = 30 Kips (FOS = 2) **The Stabilizer™ is not designed to support or resist lateral loads.
