Universal Shoring Props

Construction Shoring Prop is a telescopic tubular steel piece of construction equipment. It is used as a temporary support. Shoring props are known by several names including: scaffolding prop, formwork prop, industrial prop, building prop, shore prop, acro prop, acro jack, acrow prop and post shores. They are height adjustable by a wide diameter screw thread, which is on the outside of the tube. The use of a screw thread means that the props are able to be tightened when already in place, which allows the user to adjust the load that each one bears.

A typical use is to support an existing vertical beam while supports are removed or restored. The base jack and U head jack of shoring props have a 150mm x 150mm or 120mm x 120mm surface area, so they are great for supporting a vertical load but are at risk of toppling if there is any sideways force. If this is a possibility, shoring props should be strutted or braced with scaffolding tubes.
