Questions
Steel props, also known as acrow props, are used for temporary support for walls, ceilings, floors and formwork. They can be used for construction, building repairs or alteration projects.
We offer four sizes of steel props: 1.1m, 1.8m, 2.6m, and 3.2m. Each prop is telescopic, making it quick and easy to adjust to the exact height needed.
Each steel prop's load capacity varies with size. The shortest prop supports up to 1700kg, while the longest supports up to 700kg at full extension.
The steel prop's are made from extra strong tubular steel, providing high durability and reliability under heavy loads.
The telescopic design uses a pin and collar system, allowing for easy extension or retraction to reach the required working height.
Yes, steel props are suitable for supporting walls during alterations. For wall removal projects, a wall support pack can be hired, which includes a Strongboy Wall Support and Steel Prop for extra stability.
The weight of each prop varies by size. The shortest prop weighs around 12kg, while the largest weighs around 29kg.
You will need at least a truck-sized vehicle to collect & transport steel props due to their length and weight.
When using the steel props, we recommend wearing steel-toe boots, protective gloves, and Grade 1 safety goggles (EN 166.B). On construction sites, wearing head protection is compulsory due to potential falling objects.
Smaller props can be set by one person, but larger props may require two people to ensure safe lifting and positioning.
The number of props needed depends on the span, load and structure being supported. For structural alterations, it’s best to follow a builder’s or engineer’s guidance to ensure safe load distribution.
Yes, steel props can be used both indoors and outdoors. Before use, ensure they are placed on firm, stable ground & are protected from corrosion if used long-term outside.
Yes, you can adjust the props enough for uneven floors or ceilings. The telescopic adjustment allows for flexibility in spaces that aren't level, but it's important to ensure the base and head plates sit securely.
Acrow props are simple to use, versatile and adjustable. They are widely used for general temporary support, whereas specialised supports (like strongboys or scaffold systems) may be better for specific structural tasks.
No formal training is required before you use steel props, but basic knowledge of load support and safe handling is essential. For more complex structural work, professional training or supervision is strongly recommended.
