Strongboy Prop

These adjustable steel props (Acrows) are meticulously manufactured using an outer tube with a diameter of 60.3mm and an inner tube with a diameter of 48.3mm. The threaded section undergoes friction welding with the outer tube, resulting in a lighter-weight Acrow Prop. The outer tube possesses a thickness of 3.6mm, while the inner tube boasts a thickness of 3.2mm, both crafted from high-grade steel.

HERMEQ also presents Prop Mate lintel supports, commonly referred to as prop blades or strong boys. These invaluable supports conveniently rest atop your Acrow Props, facilitating steadfast support for ceilings and walls during construction and renovation endeavors. We take immense pride in manufacturing all our Acrow supports within the UK, guaranteeing the utmost quality in the market.

It is worth highlighting that all our adjustable steel props are meticulously manufactured in strict adherence to our ISO 9001:2000 quality system accreditation.

Safe Working Loads

Safe working load (kN) for prop loaded 25mm Max. Eccentric and 1.50 max. out of plumb

Safe working load for props where concentric loading cannot be ensured. Concentric loading is a load which passes through the centroid of the cross section of a structural member and acts normal to the cross-section. When supporting timber bearer prop loads may be limited by allowable stress in timber.

Safe working load (KN) for prop loaded centrically and 1.50 max. out of plumb

Safe working loads for props using aluminium formwork beams from proprietary formworks sytems or equivalent ensuring concentric loading. Also, timber beams where twisted and fixed forkheads are used to ensure concentric loading.

Safe working load (kN) for prop loaded centrically & laced with tube and fittings

Recommended safe working loads for props laced in two directions, at right angles, at a level 1/3 of the height of the extended inner tube. The lacing and the formwork deck must be restrained against horizontal movement by tying to the building or by diagonal bracing.
