This 'top of the range' professional pedestal support system is designed for installations where high loads may be encountered, such as in public areas, and is also ideal for high rise applications. The Hercules pedestals have large, load spreading, 210mm (8.25") or 230mm (9") diameter bases with heavy support ribs making them capable of supporting up to 3,000 kgf (6,600 lbf).

The very high load capabilty ensures these pedestals are suitable for use across a very wide range of levelling applications from patios, decks and roof gardens through to external buildings, log cabins, large hot tubs, surface pools and more. The pedestals are ideal for large decks with long joist spans (using 6" or 12" height joists), reducing the number of support points compared with other pedestal systems with lower weight carrying capacities.

A range of 5 pedestal bases offer adjustabilty starting from 25mm (1") height up to 280mm (11") depending on the model used. The two largest pedestals can also be further extended to any required height by addition of one or more screw-in extender sections - available separately. Each Extender can be adjusted to provice from 80mm to 140mm (3.15" to 5.5") of additional height - (Note: Improved item, not as shown in product video).

The pedestals are adjustable either from below or, for pavers, from above using the special adjustment tool.  

Each pack contains the complete pedestal with base, screw section and head plate to suit either pavers or joists. The head plates all come complete with an integrated acoustic rubber layer for cushioning and for noise trasmission reduction.

Paver heads have four removable 4mm (5/32") thick spacer tabs and, for joist support the head plates have a single upstand flange with a slot for screw fixing to the joist if required. Both self-levelling (up to 5° slopes) or fixed heads are available as required. Note: Self-Levelling heads are not recommended for use with high rise installations, where it is better to ensure the base is level and the pedestal column is vertical as this ensures maximum strength with the weight transmitted down the centres of the pedestal construction.

Height adjustment of the pedestals can be achieved from below by rotating the bases and screw parts or, in the case of paver installations, also from above after installing the pavers by using a special adjustment key (available separately).

Extra large 210mm (8.25"), or 230mm (9”) base plates on the 60mm and larger pedestals, provide stable support on most surfaces. Scribe marks are provided on the underside to assist in trimming for use at sides and corners of installations. An optional square 230mm x 3mm thick anti-slip, cushioning, rubber base pad is available for use on membranes, etc. This effectively reduces transmitted noise where pavers are mounted on balconies or roof areas.

StrataRise Hercules pedestals are tested to withstand a maximum 3000 Kgf (6600 lbf). At their weakest setting, i.e. maximum height adjustment with just one thread engaged, they will support at least 1500Kgf (3300 lbf).
