Propmate with Handle
Product Description
Propmate with Handle
The Propmate with Handle, also known as a Strongboy, wall support, masonry prop attachment, lintel support, prop head or support blade, is a heavy-duty attachment designed to work with adjustable steel Acrow Props. It provides temporary structural support during construction, renovation and controlled demolition work, particularly when creating openings in load-bearing walls or installing lintels.
Manufactured from durable galvanised steel, the Propmate is designed for reliable temporary support on construction and renovation projects.
Product Specifications
- Length: 510mm
- Full width including handle: 170mm
- Weight: 5.1kg
- Safe Working Load: 340kg maximum
- Maximum safe height: 3m
- Maximum prop spacing: 900mm
- Maximum wall thickness supported: 225mm
Designed for Use with Acrow Props
The Propmate is designed to work with standard Acrow Props. The square top plate of the Acrow Prop fits securely into the Propmate beneath the blade handle. Once the appropriate mortar joint has been prepared, the Propmate blade can be positioned between brick courses. Together, the Propmate and Acrow Prop provide vertical temporary support while construction or alteration work is carried out.
Applications
Propmates are suitable for a range of temporary support applications, including:
- Supporting brickwork and masonry during wall modifications
- Supporting walls, beams and ceilings while installing lintels, doors or windows
- Creating openings in load-bearing walls
- Supporting controlled demolition and structural alterations
- Providing additional stability during construction work
Key Features & Benefits
- Heavy-duty galvanised steel: Durable and designed for demanding construction environments.
- Compatible with Acrow Props: Designed to fit standard adjustable steel props.
- Strong temporary support: Helps provide stability during structural alterations.
- Versatile: Suitable for residential and commercial construction projects.
- Portable: Easy to transport and store between jobs.
- Reusable: Can be used across multiple temporary support applications.
- Time-efficient: Helps simplify temporary support during construction work.
- Cost-effective: Provides a practical alternative to more complex temporary support systems.
Safety & Installation Guidance
Propmates are temporary structural support equipment and must be used correctly. Before use:
- Ensure the Propmate is securely attached to the Acrow Prop.
- Never exceed the stated load capacity of the Propmate or Acrow Prop.
- Position Acrow Props on a firm, stable and level surface.
- Inspect all components for damage, wear or corrosion before use.
- Always wear suitable PPE, including gloves, hard hats and safety footwear.
- Ensure the Propmate is correctly positioned before applying load.
If you're unsure about the correct positioning or support requirements, consult a qualified builder or structural engineer.
Propmates are designed for temporary support and are not suitable for permanent structural applications. For permanent support, steel lintels may be appropriate, but the correct solution should always be confirmed by a qualified structural engineer.
Compatible Acrow Props
The Propmate with Handle is compatible with the range of Acrow Props available from First Fence, making it easy to create a suitable temporary support system for your project.
