Scaffolding Formwork Props
What is Scaffolding Prop？
Scaffolding props are adjustable with closed heights and open heights under formwork. It carries loads in concrete slabs, beams, columns, and walls. The post shore are composites of inner tubes, outer tubes, top and bottom plates, props sleeves with treads, robust prop nuts, lock pins, etc.
Scaffolding prop is also called adjustable steel props，telescopic prop，adjustable prop，acrow props，prop jacks, steel props, shoring props, formwork props, construction props, shuttering props, building props, steel support, post shore, etc. All shoring post jack are adjustable with closed heights and open heights.
Acrow propping are manufactured by steel scaffold tubes or aluminum tubular profiles. Thus there are scaffolding steel props and aluminum scaffold props.
Steel props can take more weight from the concrete than aluminum props. While the cost is much cheaper too. In order to make the shoring posts more durable with longer life, you can ask for hot-dip galvanizing finished scaffold props. HDG post shore jack can be repeated using at least 10 years with rusty.
What are the scaffolding prop components?
Shoring screw jacks components mainly include the following types
1. Base Jack
2. Adjustable scaffolding prop
3. Scaffolding pillar head
4. Light Scaffolding prop
5. Heavy-duty scaffolding prop
Scaffolding Props FAQs
1.Q: How to maintain the threads on adjustable shoring props?
A: Keep threads clean of concrete splatter. Our props feature a Self-cleaning Thread design that ejects debris during rotation. We recommend applying a dry lubricant periodically; avoid heavy grease which can attract abrasive sand and dust.
2.Q: How does the "Safety Clearance" design prevent hand injuries?
A: A professional steel prop should have a 100mm safety gap at the top of the outer tube. This prevents the inner tube from dropping completely and crushing the operator's hand during dismantling.
3.Q: How to maintain the self-cleaning function of the Collar Nut?
A: Our props feature a Self-Cleaning Thread design. To maintain this: Ensure the nut is rotated fully through the thread after each use to expel dried concrete slurry. Do not apply heavy grease, which can trap abrasive sand; instead, use dry lubricants or simply keep the threads clear of physical debris.
4.Q: What certifications should I check when importing Steel Props from China?
A: To ensure site safety and regulatory compliance, look for: EN 1065 Certification: The European standard for adjustable telescopic steel props. SGS/TUV Load Test Reports: Independent verification of the Ultimate Load capacity. ISO 9001: For manufacturing quality consistency. Mill Test Certificate (MTC): To verify the raw material grade (e.g., Q235B or Q345B).
