Plan by the job

Two green adjustable Acrow Props shown side by side on a white background, one retracted and one extended to demonstrate the adjustable support height.

Access & temporary support

Boards, trestles, Acrows and Strongboys serve different purposes. Support arrangements need competent planning; individual components are not a complete design.

Material handling

Compare Genie material lifts for lifting suitable loads and pallet trucks for moving suitable pallets. Check capacity, load dimensions and the route.

Secure storage

Check external dimensions, access and where a tool vault can be placed and collected. Storage does not remove the need for site security.

Build a useful equipment list

List the tasks

Record what needs lifting, supporting, powering or separating, and who will use the equipment.

Check quantities and compatibility

Read each product’s unit description and check related accessories. Do not assume separate items form a complete system.

Plan delivery and collection

Include space for unloading, secure storage and any ongoing welfare servicing access.
