Acrow Props

Acrow props are adjustable steel props used for temporary support in construction. They consist of an inner and outer tube with a screw mechanism for height adjustment, and are available in various sizes, with load capacities that vary by size. Acrow props are a strong, versatile, and temporary solution for propping loads, making construction and repair work safer.

How to choose acrow prop?

Determine the required height: Measure the space you need to support to select the correct prop size with the appropriate adjustment range.

Consider the load capacity: Each prop size has a specific load capacity, so you must choose a prop that can handle the weight it will be supporting.

Check for compliance: Some props are manufactured to specific standards (e.g., BS4074 in the UK).

Assess the application: Think about the type of work you are doing, as some props are better suited for specific tasks. For example, a prop with a specific base plate or a more robust design might be necessary for some jobs.

Inner tube and welded top-plate

Outer tube and welded base-plate

Nut and handle

Acrow props threaded element is fully friction welded to the outer tube for maximum strength whilst retaining the full tube thickness without adding additional weight. There are 5 different sizes of acrow props available, each fully adjustable to meet a range of height and load-bearing needs.
