Formwork props are a must on almost every construction site. Adjustable formwork props are ideal for supporting ceilings, walls, and other structures. A complete set of steel pillars consists of top plate, bottom plate, inner tube, outer tube, sleeve, nut and pin. EK scaffolding can customize your formwork prop in terms of adjustable height, inner and outer tube dimensions, top and bottom slab dimensions and shape. The length can be adjusted arbitrarily within its range and can be used repeatedly. The adjustable formwork prop produced by EK is widely used in supporting systems such as buildings, workshops, and bridges.
Among them, the metal pillar is the most commonly used, and the surface treatment process includes painting, galvanizing, etc. Depending on your specific application, you can choose formwork prop with different finishes to protect against rust, corrosion, and general wear and tear. The formwork prop is connected by CO2 arc welding to ensure good crack resistance and deformation resistance.
As a load-bearing element, the formwork prop is responsible for transferring the loads received when the structural concrete is poured to the ground, and acts as a support once the necessary strength to absorb the necessary stresses has been achieved before the structure is put into service.
The formwork prop is height adjustable and scalable. A formwork prop usually consists of two easily adjustable hollow cylinders, one inside the other (body and shaft). In some cases, as a supplement, formwork props may have locking systems to prevent separation of the shaft from the body, and unloading systems to facilitate removal and disassembly.
