Acrow Prop

The document describes the components and properties of Acrow props. Acrow props are adjustable scaffolding components used for supporting structures. They consist of an inner and outer tube connected by a threaded coupling that allows the prop to be adjusted in height. The prop head and bottom plate connect the prop to structures and facilitate bracing. Tables provide the sizing, weights, height ranges and maximum safe working loads for each prop size.

Acrow Prop Components in Detail Prop Head: 150 x 150mm plates with holes for securing to timber beams or facilitating the use of accessories. Prop Inner Tube: 48.3mm O.D. tube (standard scaffolding tube size) with holes at 152.5mm centres. Tube diameter enables standard scaffold tube and couplers to be used for bracing purposes. Prop Outer Tube: 60.3mm O.D. Bottom plate identical to prop head. Reduction couplers enable standard scaffold tube to be connected to outer tube for bracing purposes. Thread: On the outer tube the thread provides the ability for each prop to have infinite adjustment within its given range. Nut: Self-cleaning nut has a hole located at one end for easy turning when prop handle is near walls. Additional nut can be added to convert prop to push-pull strut.

NOTES TO TABLE We advise a prop loading limit of 31KN solely for ease of striking. Safe working loads are based on props being truly vertical and loaded concentrically. Safe working loads have been derived from tests and a minimum factor of safety of 3 to 1 applies. Note that the safe working loads are for unbraced props. EXAMPLE PROP HEIGHT 2700 Use No. 1 Prop for safeload of 21KN Use No. 2 Prop for safeload of 26KN Use No. 3 Prop for safeload of 31KN
