Laboratory Jack
Product Code : SCL-CL-11550
Laboratory Jack (SKU SCL-CL-11550) is a metal lifting platform with a knob-operated scissor mechanism that raises or lowers hot plates, burners, water baths and glassware to exactly the working height an experiment needs. It is used in chemistry, physics and biology labs in colleges, research institutes and well-equipped schools. Science Lab Supplies supplies the jack from Ambala, India, to schools, colleges, training institutes, tender contractors and distributors of chemistry lab equipment in India.
Specifications
The jack is an all-purpose metal unit built from stainless steel or mild steel; mild steel jacks carry a powder-coated finish. Turning the knob drives the scissor action, giving quick, easy and accurate height adjustment, and the platform is rated for a load of 25 kg.

Applications and Experiments for the Laboratory Jack
A lab jack lets a heat source or bath be raised to a clamped flask and lowered away again in seconds, which makes distillation, reflux and heating set-ups safer and easier to adjust. It also levels optical and physics apparatus and brings receiving vessels up to a funnel or condenser outlet.
- Class 11–12 and B.Sc. chemistry: raising a heating mantle, hot plate or water bath under a flask during distillation and reflux.
- Organic chemistry practicals: quickly lowering the heat source away from a reaction flask.
- Physics labs: setting optical components and apparatus to a common height.
- Research and testing labs: positioning receivers, beakers and baths under outlets.

Related Support and Heating Equipment
A jack works with the stand that holds the flask and the heat source it lifts. These four Chemistry Lab items build a complete heating and support bench around it, from the retort stand and funnel stand to a gas burner and a magnetic heating stirrer, all quotable together.
- Laboratory Stand — retort stand with clamps and rings to hold the flask.
- Magnetic Heating Stirrer — heat source that can sit on the jack.
- Beck Bunsen — 150 mm Bunsen burner for flame heating.
- Funnel Stand — holds funnels above a raised receiver.
