Adjustable Base with Timber Support
$180.00
The adjustable base with timber support is a versatile anchor-free ground base designed to integrate with edge protection posts for rapid temporary deployment on construction sites.
The HC47 (also known as the “Telescopic Foot”) is a unique solution for dynamic sites. By utilizing a timber beam as a base, this system provides a stable, weighted platform for steel edge protection without the need for clamps or bolts. The telescoping post (1.07m to 1.40m) allows for perfect height alignment on uneven ground, making it an essential tool for temporary roof edge protection and slab safety during early-phase construction.
Key Advantages
- Mobile & Adaptable: Easily repositioned as work progresses without unbolting from the structure.
- Height Flexible: Telescoping 48mm/42mm tubes adapt to any site condition or leading edge fall protection requirements.
- Timber Integration: Designed to work with standard site timber to create a fast, effective temporary edge protection system.
Specifications
- Model: HC47
- Height Range: 1.07 – 1.40 meters
- Tube Diameter: 48mm (External) / 42mm (Internal).
- Base Type: Timber beam interface.
The adjustable base with timber support is the ground-level foundation component of the HodChutes modular edge protection system. Designed for sites where top-mounting or parapet clamping is not possible, this base uses standard construction timber to create a stable, anchor-free support for all HodChutes edge protection posts.
The adjustable base with timber support eliminates the need for drilling, mechanical fasteners or permanent anchors — making it the ideal solution for timber floor decks, raised platforms and any surface where penetration is prohibited.
