Simplex 9611 Ratcheting Roof Support 4 Ton 38 Inch Stroke

Product Description

The SIMPLEX 9611 is a mechanically operated ratcheting roof support designed for temporary load-bearing applications in construction, renovation, and structural shoring work. Rated at 4 tons (8,000 pounds) sustaining capacity, this unit collapses to 57 inches and extends to 95 inches, providing a 38-inch stroke range. The aluminum alloy housing and base keep overall weight low without sacrificing rated capacity, making the 9611 a practical choice for crews who need to move supports frequently across a job site. An integrated welded carrying handle aids repositioning. The design meets or exceeds ANSI/ASME B30.1 safety standards and carries CE compliance.

The 9611 belongs to the A9225 family of ratcheting roof supports and is suited for residential and light commercial applications where temporary vertical support is required. Typical uses include holding ceiling or roof structures during beam replacement, header installation, or similar load-transfer tasks. The ratchet lever mechanism holds the load indefinitely without creep down, which is critical when workers need to operate beneath a supported load for an extended period.

Installation Notes

Roof supports of this type are typically set and adjusted by carpenters, structural contractors, or general tradespeople performing load-transfer work. Before placing the support, verify that the floor and ceiling surfaces can handle the concentrated point load. Position the head plate squarely against the load-bearing surface and engage the ratchet mechanism fully before transferring any load. Always follow applicable local building codes and OSHA shoring requirements when working under a supported structure.
