Feature

●Raise Your Unlevel Flooring: The PowerPost is an extremely high strength, adjustable steel column designed specifically to stabilize or raise sinking and unlevel floors over crawlspaces or basements. The tube steel used for the PowerPost is manufactured with a triple-layer, in-line galvanized coating.
●Weight Capacity: The allowable system capacity of the assembled PowerPost steel components is 30 kips (30,000 lbs.) Axial compression tests completed at an independent laboratory on the assembled PowerPost system, with and without a precast concrete footing, resulted in ultimate values between 56 kips and 90 kips.
●Disclaimer: While the rigidity and strength of the PowerPost components benefits installation and overall product stability, the allowable load applied to the PowerPost system will nearly always be limited by the bearing capacity of the existing soil.
●Additional Disclaimer: The PowerPost is designed to support axial compression loads only. The PowerPost should not be used in applications where the system is intended to resist lateral loads.
●Composition: The tube steel used for the PowerPost is manufactured with a triple-layer, in-line galvanized coating. The remaining steel components of the PowerPost come standard as zinc-plated in accordance with ASTM B633, “Standard Specification for Electrodeposited Coating of Zinc on Iron and Steel”.
