Adjustable temporary support for building and renovation work
Acrow Props are adjustable steel supports used in temporary support arrangements. Choose the live height range that covers the required support height, then confirm the loading and temporary-works requirements for the project.
Five adjustable sizes
The live selector covers five ranges from approximately 1.01m to 4.88m.
Fine height adjustment
The threaded collar and pin allow the prop to be set within its adjustment range, subject to the project setup.
Temporary-support applications
Common applications include building, refurbishment and renovation support where the project design calls for adjustable props.

Working load reduces as the prop is extended.
Planning your hire
Start with the required support height and the project loading/design requirements. Confirm the number of props required from the project plan, the base condition and compatibility with attachments such as Strongboys where relevant.
Before delivery
Check the route, firm supporting base and space needed to position the props. Acrow Props are temporary supports, not a substitute for structural or temporary-works design advice.
Acrow Prop FAQs
Which Acrow size do I need?
Choose the live range that covers the required support height, then confirm the loading and temporary-works requirements for the project. The technical table shows the corresponding manufacturer reference where it is clear.
What heights do the live ranges cover?
The live ranges are 1.01m–1.83m, 1.75m–3.12m, 1.98m–3.35m, 2.59m–3.96m and 3.20m–4.88m. These purchasing labels are retained exactly as supplied.
Does an Acrow Prop have the same capacity at every height?
No. Working load varies with extension. The technical table shows separate manufacturer WLL figures at minimum and maximum extension in kN.
How much does an Acrow Prop weigh?
Reference masses range from approximately 13kg to 30kg across the five technical classes. The selected-size guide shows the corresponding reference mass.
Can I use a Strongboy with an Acrow Prop?
Strongboys are attachments designed to sit on suitable Acrow Props. The wall, loading and temporary-works arrangement must be confirmed for the project.
How many Acrow Props can I hire?
Use the quantity control to select the number of physical props required. The number needed should come from the project plan rather than a general rule.
Can I extend the hire?
Yes. Select the initial period above and contact SAB if the props are needed longer, subject to availability.
How are delivery and collection arranged?
SAB will confirm delivery and collection arrangements. Make sure the site has a clear route, firm base and someone available to receive the equipment.
