Adjustable props with stands, also called shoring props or prop jacks, are versatile, telescopic steel supports used in construction to provide temporary vertical support for formwork, slabs, beams, and walls, offering height flexibility, stability, and cost-efficiency for various building projects. They feature adjustable heights via inner and outer tubes with threaded nuts for precise extension, ensuring safe and adaptable support for heavy loads in different construction scenarios, from small repairs to large infrastructure.
Key Features & Description:
Material: Typically made from high-strength mild steel (MS) or steel, often with rust-proof finishes like hot-dip galvanization.
Structure: Consists of an outer tube and an inner tube, allowing for telescopic extension and height adjustment.
Adjustment Mechanism: Uses threaded nuts, handles, and locking systems for easy and secure height changes.
Heads/Tops: Available with various attachments like base plates, U-heads, or beam heads for different applications.
Load Capacity: Varies by prop type (light, medium, heavy-duty) and extension; taller props generally have lower load capacities.
Applications:
Formwork Support: Essential for supporting slabs, beams, columns, and walls during concrete curing.
Shoring: Provides temporary support for existing structures or during construction/demolition.
Versatility: Used in various construction tasks, offering adaptable vertical support.
Benefits:
Flexibility: Height adjustable for different project needs.
