VWR Lab Jack Aluminum 6 x 6 in. Height Adjustable to 9.75 in.

The VWR 12620-904 Lab Jack is a versatile mechanical support device designed to provide precise vertical positioning for laboratory equipment. Constructed from aluminum, this model offers a balance of durability and lightweight handling, making it resistant to corrosion and easy to clean in chemical environments.

The jack features a 6 x 6 inch (15.2 x 15.2 cm) top plate, which provides a stable platform for holding various items such as hot plates, water baths, flasks, or stirrers. It utilizes a robust scissor-style mechanism controlled by an oversized, easy-to-grip knob. This mechanism allows the user to smoothly elevate the platform from a collapsed position up to a maximum height of 9.75 inches.

Lab jacks are essential for complex experimental setups where equipment needs to be aligned at specific heights, such as supporting heating mantles under fixed glassware during distillation or adjusting the height of collection vessels. The VWR 12620-904 provides the stability and fine control necessary for safe and accurate benchtop work.
