Jacking timbers- also known as cribbing timbers or blocks- are an essential component of jack and slide operations, providing support anywhere it's needed.
Timbers for heavy rigging operations such as jack and slide need to withstand massive loads without failing, so they must be very strong, crush-resistant, consistent, and durable. The ideal timber should also be resistant to fire, rot, and pests, and manageable for the riggers that need to move and stack them.
Hydra-Slide offers two different types of jacking timber that satisfy these criteria: Ekki timbers and Dragonwood timbers. Read on to learn more about the characteristics of these products and the differences between them.
