Acrow props, also known as adjustable steel props, are temporary steel supports widely used in the construction industry. They provide vertical support for various structural elements during construction, renovation, or repair work. These props are designed to be adjustable in length, making them versatile for different project requirements.
Acrow props are manufactured by various companies, including SCP Group, Wellmade Scaffold, First Fence, and Dynaton. They feature an inner and outer steel tube with a threaded collar for height adjustment and base plates at the top and bottom for stability. The props come in different sizes, typically ranging from size 0 to size 4, with varying closed and open heights. They are made from high-strength steel and often coated with zinc, paint, or powder coating to prevent corrosion.
Key features of Acrow props include their adjustable height, high load-bearing capacity, durability, and ease of use. They are used for supporting ceilings, walls, floors, beams, concrete slabs, and formwork. The price of Acrow props can vary based on size, material, and finish, but generally range from £15.60 to £81.58, excluding VAT. They are widely available for purchase or hire from construction supply companies.
