Super Power Jack

[Archived-1]

I am just about to order a new one I am sure a 18inch will do me atm but I might be upgrading my dish to 1.8 in the near future, the 24inch is only £6 more `18 or 24 whats your thoughts please.

I used a 24" superjack with my monster and it handled the worst storms with no problems. They are very powerful.

Maybe play it safe and get the 24".

Thanks hexah, I was thinking the same and for the sake of 6 pound, I am also wanting to track in-clined orbits what are my options please,

little bit I think I know I can use my old actuator the sats move in a figure of 8 ? if so its a click up click left etc to lock if doing it manually ? I understand I will need another v box, if I wanted it automatic what would be my cheapest option please thanks for any information.

If it was me, I would just do it manually.

iirc someone added an LNB vertically above their existing LNB with a multi LNB bracket to get 8w but I don't know how successful that was.

What I would do is get two sets of T & K brackets and either attach the dish to the house wall or the outhouse wall.

Thanks hexah but my dish has been strategically placed there and will not be moved pole needs to go up ;)

How about 3 or 4 galvanized chimney brackets using straps or wire around the wood?

Then you could use a scaffold pole.

Thanks again m8, I made a miss calculation when I had the bracket fabricated and had the pole cut to short I took my measurement from the bottom of the bracket not the plate, I don't want to mess about with wires and things as my project was to keep things nice and tidey for when my garden is landscaped, I think taking the bracket to be welded is the way for me to keep things as I want them, thanks again m8

Please have a quick look from here I have put a little thought into the end result thanks hexah for you help

I think your going to have to have something fabricated by a local Metal company which will go onto your already pre-fab bracket, i doubt it would cost the earth to have something knocked up

Martin-f! I like your stand. Sometimes we underestimate wood as a material to build something. But in same cases wood is really better, cheaper and also could be stronger.
Recently I also got situation when pipe is too short.. But, instead sending it back to welder, I inserted smaller-diameter pipe inside and fixed it with several bolts (blue dots on picture), than just cut heads of bolts with angle-grinder. In your case, if you do not have another pipe to be inserted inside, I would find a welder and add piece of pipe to existing one. Or, making new stand could be an option. ;)

Thanks for all your help, it was this type of clamp I had in mind but I can not find one for a 3 inch pole I still have the bit that was cut of the pole I will take it and get it welded up Monday thanks again guys

You can use exhaust pipe couplers, these come in 76mm/3in sizes. Then bolt it up and weld. Vipersan did just that.
