Graham:

I used the Fast Jacks on one installation and I was very concerned at the 
structural integrity of a stand-off mounted with only one lag.  The jacks 
were very wobbly.  This might be because we put more stress on the 
stand-offs because we use Direct Power tilt-up racks (we don't use quick 
connects).  When tilting up the racks, there is more strain on the lower 
stand-offs.  Occasionally we will put a temporary N-S strut between 
stand-offs to prevent lag pull out.

We use the Direct Power "Power Posts."  These are very solid and mount with 
two lags.  It took some research to find roof jacks we like, but the Oatey 
11830 and 11831 work great on the Power Posts.

We have about 50 Fast Jacks we won't use, and we could make you a deal on 
them...
