Acrow Props Sizes 0-4 & 340kg Load Capacity Propmates

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 a propmate with handles available, which is used alongside the Acrow props to help secure the weight of a wall during renovation or repair work.

Applications of Acrow Props

The applications of Acrow props are as diverse as the structures they provide support for. In formwork, these props serve as temporary columns, providing support to the concrete 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 structural integrity and preventing any hazards for individuals working underneath.

Features of Acrow Props

Beyond their diverse applications, Acrow props offer several advantages:

Versatility: Their adjustability allows them to adapt to various scenarios, making them a single solution for multiple tasks.
Durability: The robust steel construction guarantees they can withstand harsh conditions and heavy loads.
Cost-effectiveness: Compared to other temporary support options, Acrow props are generally more affordable, offering reusability and long-term value.
Ease of use: The simple screw mechanism enables quick, effortless height adjustments, saving time and effort on the job site.
Safety: When used correctly and in accordance with safety regulations, Acrow props contribute to a safe working environment for construction personnel.
Regulations: Manufactured to BS4074:1982 and tested to BS5507-3:1982.

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.
