Screw Jack Systems

Your Partners in Precision Actuation

For over 40 years, Kelston Actuation has been manufacturing precision screw jacks and modular lifting systems from our facility in Bristol, UK. We work with OEM machine builders, systems integrators, and engineering teams across food & beverage, packaging, pharmaceutical, automotive, aviation, healthcare, and general manufacturing — any sector where precise, reliable positioning matters.

Our screw jack systems are designed to integrate directly into your machine or line architecture — whether you need to adjust conveyor heights, raise or lower platforms and work surfaces, position process equipment, or build reliable synchronised lifting into a new machine from the ground up.

  • Fast, repeatable height adjustment — reduce changeover and setup time
  • Synchronised multi-jack systems keep loads level and stable — no manual shimming
  • Material options to suit your environment: standard, stainless steel, or sealed for washdown
  • Configurable screw types: cost-effective trapezoidal lead screws or precision ball screws for dynamic positioning
  • Motor-driven or manually operated — matched to your control architecture
  • Direct engineer support from concept through to CAD-ready integration

Why Choose Kelston Actuation?

Reliability

Built to Last

Screw jack systems manufactured to ISO 9001 standards at our Bristol facility. Sealed housings, corrosion-resistant finishes, and material options from aluminium to 316 stainless steel — matched to your operating environment.
Precision

Precision Positioning

Synchronised multi-jack systems deliver consistent, repeatable height adjustment under load. Choose trapezoidal lead screws for cost-effective lifting or ball screws where precise dynamic positioning is critical.
Customisation

Standard or Fully Bespoke

Need a standard screw jack configured to spec? Use our free CAD Configurator. Need a one-off system designed from the ground up? Our UK engineers will work with you from concept through to production — no project is too complex.

Featured Solutions

Conveyor Solutions

Synchronised Conveyor Height Adjustment

Multi-jack systems that adjust conveyor heights in unison — keeping your line level and stable under load. Motor-driven or manually operated, configured to your layout.
Canning Solutions

Precision Platform Positioning

Raise, lower, and position work platforms, process equipment, or production stations with precision. Ball screw options available for applications requiring exact dynamic positioning.
Custom Solutions

Bespoke Systems for Complex Requirements

When a standard product won’t do, our UK engineers design from the ground up. We’ve built one-off screw jack systems for applications in aviation, healthcare, automotive, and food production — whatever the challenge, talk to us.

How it Works

Consultation & Design

Tell Us What You Need

Share your positioning requirement — load, stroke, speed, layout, and operating environment. Whether you have a full specification or just a problem to solve, our UK-based design engineers will work with you to define the right system. For standard screw
Testing & Adjustment

We Design and Configure Your System

We’ll provide a full-specification CAD model you can import directly into your machine design. Need synchronised multi-jack operation? Specific materials for your environment? Non-standard mounting to fit an existing frame? We’ll configure every detail.
Manufacture & Delivery

Manufactured in UK, Delivered Worldwide

Your screw jack system is manufactured at our Bristol facility and shipped directly to you — whether you’re based in the UK, the USA, or anywhere in the world. We provide full after-sales support and our engineers remain available for integration questions long after delivery.
