Acrow props, also known as adjustable steel props, are essential tools in the construction industry, providing temporary support to structures during various phases of building and renovation projects. These versatile props are widely used for supporting formwork, walls, ceilings, and beams, ensuring stability and safety on construction sites.
From the ground up, acrow props are built to endure. Heavy-duty steel construction provides the strength and resilience needed to bear significant loads. They are typically coated in a recognisable green paint, ensuring easy visibility on busy construction sites. The base plate adds stability, while the screw mechanism is designed for smooth and reliable height adjustments.
Our Acrow props come in various sizes, with each size boasting a specific load capacity. Acrow Props are available in sizes including size 0, size 1, size 2, size 3 and size 4. We also have propmate with handles available which are used alongside the acrow props to help secure the weight of a wall during renovation or repair work.
The applications of acrow props are as diverse as the structures they provide support for. In formwork, these props serve as temporary columns, maintaining concrete support until it sets. They play a crucial role in supporting ceilings and walls during construction, preventing potential collapses. Additionally, acrow props are indispensable in trenchworks, where they stabilise excavation sides, ensuring the safety of workers.
Acrow props serve as a vertical support system, offering essential shoring for overhead loads during construction projects. Their utility extends to various scenarios, such as creating openings in walls for windows or doorways, removing walls, and providing temporary support for repair work. These props are particularly useful for supporting RSJs and lintels when new openings are introduced in load-bearing walls, ensuring the structural integrity and preventing any hazards for individuals working underneath.
Beyond their diverse applications, acrow props offer several advantages:
Acrow props are known for their ease of use, allowing for quick and efficient installation. Their telescopic design enables contractors to adjust the height with minimal effort, saving time and labour on the job site. This user-friendly aspect makes acrow props a preferred choice for construction professionals who prioritise efficiency and productivity.
Safety is a paramount concern in the construction industry, and acrow props are engineered to meet stringent safety standards. Their stable and adjustable design ensures that structures are adequately supported, minimising the risk of accidents, and ensuring a secure working environment for construction teams.
