Shear Legs Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India
Product Code : EL-ELA-5517
Jlab Export is a leading Shear Legs Manufacturer,and suppliers in India
Shear Legs (code EL-ELA-5517) is a bench-top statics apparatus that models a temporary shear-legs crane, for measuring the leg and backstay forces and comparing them with theory. The double legs run on rollers along a round bar, integral spring balances read the leg compressions and the backstay force, and a weight hangs from the apex. It is made by Jain Laboratory Instruments Pvt Ltd (JLab) at its works in Ambala, India.

What Is the Shear Legs Apparatus Used For?
Shear legs — two inclined legs joined at the top and held back by a stay — are often used to make temporary cranes. This apparatus carries the ideas from experiments with several forces in one plane into three dimensions. The load at the apex puts the legs into compression and the backstay into tension, so students have to keep track of both kinds of force. They resolve the forces at the apex to predict the leg and backstay forces from the geometry and the load, compare the predictions with the spring-balance readings, and then alter the geometry to see how the forces change.
It is used in engineering mechanics and applied mechanics labs in first-year degree and diploma courses, usually after the coplanar-forces experiments.
What to Specify When Ordering
- Quantity — the minimum order is 10 units.
- Bench space — the unit stands free on a bench top, so plan room for the legs, backstay and hanging weight.
- Related statics experiments — the funicular polygon apparatus and force tables are separate items that can be quoted on the same enquiry.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which forces does the apparatus measure?
The compression forces in the two legs, read on integral spring balances, and the force in the backstay, which also has a spring balance.
Can the geometry be changed?
Yes. The backstay is adjustable and the legs are restrained by an adjustable tie chain, so students can assess the effect of changing the shear-leg geometry on the forces.
How is the load applied?
By a weight hung from the apex of the legs.
How does it build on the funicular polygon experiments?
The funicular polygon apparatus deals with forces in one plane; shear legs extend the same equilibrium ideas to forces in three dimensions, with both tension and compression present.
Is an instruction manual provided?
Yes. A complete manual describes the apparatus, its application, the experimental procedure and typical test results.
What information is needed for an export quotation?
Send the quantity, the destination country and port or city, your preferred delivery terms (for example FOB or CIF), any packing or labelling needs, and the tender reference if the order is for a tender.
Who manufactures the shear legs apparatus?
Jain Laboratory Instruments Pvt Ltd, trading as JLab, makes it at its works in Ambala, Haryana, India, and quotes for it directly.
OEM Manufacturer
JLab is the trading name of Jain Laboratory Instruments Pvt Ltd, a maker of engineering mechanics and science lab equipment in India, incorporated in 2017 and based on Hargolal Road, Ambala, Haryana. The shear legs apparatus is built at JLab’s own works rather than sourced from a trader, so colleges, polytechnics, dealers and importers order it factory-direct, every unit is visually inspected before it is packed, and repeat orders are handled by the maker. JLab exports worldwide and ships to buyers in every region — for example Cambodia in Southeast Asia, Lesotho in Southern Africa, Estonia in Northern Europe, Malta in Southern Europe and Congo in Central Africa. Tender buyers will find details on the JLab lab tenders page.
