Pre-configure a screw jack in six steps

Our screw jacks product page has carried a new configurator since 7 September: six questions instead of fourteen — and the summary goes straight into the enquiry, with nothing to retype.

Six questions instead of fourteen

The configurator asks for lifting force, spindle version, stroke, lifting speed and options in that order, and ends with the enquiry in step six. Sizes cover 2 to 100 kN; above that, the configurator goes straight to an enquiry for a custom build of up to 1,000 kN.

Anything not needed for a first pre-selection has deliberately been left out — spindle type, materials, mounting position and drive type are clarified by our sales team. The sequence follows the same flow chart our sales team already works with.

Guidance instead of hard limits

For every size the configurator states a guide value for the stroke. Exceeding it does not block you: a note appears, the path to the enquiry stays open, and the remark on buckling safety is carried into the enquiry — we check it, not the browser.

The same applies to the options. The configurator points out self-locking, holding brakes and safety travelling nuts, couples anti-rotation and protective tube, and recommends the protective tube where it suits the anti-unscrewing device.

Approved by our sales team

Our sales team approved the live version on 7 September 2026. The configurator does not replace a technical calculation — it is a pre-selection for your quotation request. The summary is carried into the enquiry form in full, so nothing has to be typed twice.

The configurator is available in all three language versions of the product page: German, English and Dutch.
