Props usually used as construction equipments on various construction sites in order to provide support for shoring, ceiling and walls temporarily. They have steel construction with resistance against corrosion to use in various applications such as shoring in repairing or maintenance of a building and for shoring in alternation. It is divided into two parts near by the middle in order to make them adjustable in height. In addition, they are designed with different head options including head, beam head, angle head, tilt-up head and regular flat head. A prop is an essential part of shuttering system used at various construction sites.

An adjustable prop also known as telescopic prop is reusable equipment that can be used for more than one time. They are featured with expandable nature and high load bearing capacity along with sturdy construction. Furthermore,

Components of Steel Prop-

Three major parts of this construction equipment are-

Jack- it is installed in the upper part of these equipments in order to slide that part within the lower one to adjust their height.

Screw Thread- In order to provide adjustment, a screw thread is provided with large diameter is provided within these equipments to adjust the short range in an efficient manner. This component provides adjustment to the bears and load when a prop is already installed at the construction site.

Flat metal Plate- At both of the ends, there are two flat metal plates installed in order to provide additional support to the equipment.
