Questions
These supports are used to temporarily hold up brick or block walls while you install lintels, beams, or RSJs, allowing you to safely remove sections of masonry.
Simply hammer the Strongboy’s flat blade into a raked mortar joint, then position a steel prop underneath to support the wall securely while you work.
It’s suitable for both. DIY enthusiasts can use it for home renovation projects like creating doorways or windows, while professionals rely on it for structural support on site.
Yes, each Strongboy must be paired with a compatible steel prop to provide proper support while the wall is being worked on.
Yes, for longer openings or heavier loads, multiple Strongboys should be spaced evenly along the wall for stable support.
It’s designed for brick or block walls with solid mortar joints that can safely hold the Strongboy blade when inserted.
Each Strongboy can support a section of wall up to around 900mm wide, depending on load and structure type.
They’re essential when removing masonry to install lintels, RSJs, or beams, or when creating openings in load-bearing walls.
If the wall is load-bearing or supporting another structure (like a ceiling or roof), temporary support is needed before removing any part of it.
Yes, once the Strongboy blade is in place, the steel prop can be adjusted to the required height quickly and easily using the screw mechanism.
It’s mainly designed for wall support, but a steel prop alone can be used for light ceiling or floor bracing if needed.
You should wear steel toe boots, gloves, and a hard hat to protect yourself from falling debris and ensure safe handling of the equipment.
Yes, it’s suitable for both indoor and outdoor masonry work, as long as the wall and joints are in solid condition.
Yes, Strongboys are lightweight and compact enough to fit into an estate-sized vehicle for easy collection and transport.
While they’re simple to use, it’s important to understand load-bearing walls. HSS also offers training courses to help you work safely and effectively.
