Featured Product: Jack-It® Elevator Hydraulic Jack Liner

Jack-It PVC-blend elevator hydraulic jack liner used for new and retrofit hydraulic elevator jack installations

A smarter alternative to PVC pipe for hydraulic elevator jacks

Laird Plastics supplies high-quality products used in elevator installation and modernization. One of the most requested is Jack-It®, a PVC-blend hydraulic jack liner designed as an alternative to PVC pipe in both new and retrofit hydraulic elevator jack installations. By reducing the risk of corrosion-related failures and containment issues, Jack-It can help prevent costly downtime, re-drilling, and unnecessary labor expense—while keeping installation practical for crews in the field.

  • Quick, easy installation: Thin, flexible, and lightweight, Jack-It is custom-made to fit each jack size, helping crews install efficiently with less hassle.
  • Environmentally safe containment: Originally developed as a containment liner for petrochemical applications, the PVC material helps prevent oils and other contaminants from leaking out.
  • Chemical resistance: Impervious to chemicals in demanding environments where hydraulic systems operate.
  • Corrosion protection: Non-conductive PVC/PEU construction helps protect against corrosion caused by galvanic or electrolytic action.
  • Ideal for elevator projects: A strong fit for contractors and service teams sourcing elevator installation materials and protection solutions in the Philadelphia market.
