Heavy Duty Steel Props

Heavy duty steel props, also known as cold-resistant steel props, possess excellent cold resistance and are capable of providing reliable vertical support for large buildings, bridges, and formwork under cold weather conditions.

EK Scaffolding's heavy duty steel props are typically manufactured from durable Q355 steel, featuring a 76mm outer tube and a 63.5mm inner tube, and equipped with 120*120*8mm base/top plates for enhanced stability. We also offer customized services, providing design drawings according to customer requirements. All heavy duty steel props comply with BS4360 and EN1065 safety standards.

Surface Treatment

Heavy duty steel props are treated with surface treatments such as hot-dip galvanizing, electro-galvanizing, or powder coating to improve corrosion resistance. EK Scaffolding guarantees a minimum hot-dip galvanizing thickness of 50 microns and a minimum electro-galvanizing thickness of 10 microns.

New Technology

Ordinary heavy duty steel props have dense threads and slow rotation speed. To address the slow rotation speed issue, we have adopted a Double-ended thread design, which ensures the load-bearing capacity of the steel prop while increasing the rotation speed.

Common Applications

Concrete Formwork:  An essential component of temporary support structures, used to support concrete beams, slabs, and floors during the pouring and curing of concrete in high-rise buildings and bridges.

Support Structures: Used to provide temporary vertical support for structures during construction, maintenance, renovation, or refurbishment.

Load Support: Suitable for large construction projects requiring high strength, stability, and cold resistance.

These heavy duty steel props are crucial for improving safety and efficiency on construction sites, providing reliable temporary support solutions. Compared to standard steel props, heavy duty props offer higher load-bearing capacity, durability, and cold resistance, thus improving the safety and efficiency of steel props in cold regions.
