What factors should be considered when choosing a scaffolding shore post?

1. Construction project load: Calculate the load that each steel prop must support in the construction project. Note that in addition to the weight of the support platform itself, the weight of the construction materials, including the weight of the materials and workers, etc., must also be added.

2. Steel prop load capacity: Each steel prop has a load limit at different heights, which is generally determined by the scaffolding prop manufacturer according to the European standard EN. Usually, the scaffolding prop manufacturer will provide a load table. The load capacity of the scaffolding steel prop is determined by the diameter, wall thickness, bottom plate, height, etc. of the steel pipe.

3. Adjustment height of steel prop: It is very important to select a steel prop with appropriate load capacity according to the load table provided by the scaffolding prop manufacturer and the height required by the steel prop at the construction site. In addition, the higher the height of the steel props, the lower the load capacity.

4. Steel prop quantity: After determining the above data, it is necessary to calculate the minimum number of steel props under the support platform.

5. Price: According to the previous points, determine the appropriate scaffolding prop style and quantity, and then compare the prices of different manufacturers to choose the most cost-effective one.
