1.- What are props?

Props are auxiliary elements that support a horizontal formwork system and position it at the required height in each case.

As load-bearing elements, they are responsible for transmitting to the ground the loads they receive when the structure is concreted, and act as support until it is put into service, once it has reached the necessary strength to absorb the necessary stresses.

They are height-adjustable and telescopic. They are generally comprised of two hollow cylindrical bodies which facilitate regulation, one inside the other (body and shaft). In some cases, as a complement, they may have a locking system to prevent the shaft from separating from the body, as well as an unloading system to facilitate removal and disassembly.

First part is Prop Sleeve. It is used to adjust steel prop length.   If steel prop thickness is thick, can do thread on tube directly. If thcikness of tube is thin, we have to do seperated sleeve and weld on tube. For our prop sleeve, thickness can be 2.75mm, 3.0mm, 3.25mm. Length is 195mm, 200mm, 210mm and 250mm. Generally our clients request self color because they will weld it on tube and do further surface treatment.

Second part is Prop Nut.It has different weight like 420grams , 450grams   without handle, 620grams 670grams, 780grams with handle. Since we use automatic production line, it is easy to guarantee quality and delivery time even in large amount.

Third part is Prop pin/Support Pin which is used to lock prop sleeve and prop nut. We have G Pin, wire pin and chain pin.

Forth part is Base Plate. Different types are available including flat type, flower type. Size and thickness can be adjusted based on your need. 120*120mm, 140*140mm and so on.
