Acrow Props
Acrow props are steel adjustable vertical supports with an O.D. 48mm inner tube and an O.D. 60mm outer tube that temporarily holds up structures, concrete slabs and beams in construction, formwork, and scaffolding.
Acrow props are adjustable, with threaded colars and flat top and bottom plates, and are strong and reusable. According to the adjustable height range, there are five sizes of acrow props, including size 0, size 1, size 2, size 3, and size 4.
Acrow props are also called acro supports, acro jacks, acrow jacks, acro props, and acro supports. They are constructed to withstand a high load and are simpler to use than scaffolding.
Acrow props are designed for temporary support, not for permanent use. They will be removed when concrete or structural is sound.
Wellmade makes acrow props and ships to European, Australian, and UK countries. We offer a load capacity test report for each order. Contact us for a competitive factory price now.
Acrow Props
Acrow Props Size 0 is the shortest telescopic acrow props. The adjustable range is 1.05mm closed and 1.78m Open.
Acrow Props Size 2 is in a telescope range of 1.98m closed and 3.34m opened.
Acrow Prop Size 3 is designed with an adjustable height of 2.59m closed and 3.97m opened.
How Much Weight Can Acrow Prop Hold?
The load capacity of the acro props varies according to the working height. The following table shows the ultimate load capacity and safe working load for all five sizes of acrow props at closed and opened height.
| Size | Height Range | Ultimate Load Closed | Ultimate Load Opened | Safety Woking Load |
| Size 0 # | 1.05-1.78m | 90 KN | 73 KN | 35 KN |
| Size 1 # | 1.76-3.13m | 73 KN | 38 KN | 19 KN |
| Size 2 # | 1.98-3.34m | 72 KN | 36 KN | 18 KN |
| Size 3 # | 2.59-3.97m | 67 KN | 32 KN | 16 KN |
| Size 4 # | 3.2-4.82m | 50 KN | 26 KN | 13 KN |

H20 Beams are timber beams that are placed on props by top head(forkhead or U head) that form a primary and secondary of formwork beams and support film-faced plywood during concrete forming and shuttering.
Aluminium formwork beams are placed on the top head in the concrete propping shuttering. Primary beams (larger) with nailer strips and secondary beams (smaller) are included.
Film-faced plywood is timber plywood placed on top of the formwork beams (H20 timber beams and aluminium beams-aluma) convenient for concrete pouring.
How To Calculate The Number of Acrow Props
The quantity of acro prop support depends on the slab and beam thickness. Thicker beams need more acrow props in concreting. The general advice is to have a pair of acrow props per 900mm(3′). This is the absolute limit, so don’t exceed this. For heavy and thicker concrete, shorten the acrow props space to 600mm(2′). (Note: Need refer to the prop safety working load)

How to Last Steel Acrow Prop Life
Acrow props are steel-type adjustable props. To ensure the life of the acro supports, the acrow props have five surface treatments: E-galvanised (zinc-plated), Hot dip galvanised, Made by HDG Tubes, Painted, and Powder-Coated.
- Zinc-plated: with zinc thickness of about 8-12 microns, cheap cost.
- Hot dip galvanising: with zinc thickness of more than 40 micro (normally 60-70 micro), which is the best galvanising that lasts acrow props the longest life without rust. But the cost is expensive.
- Painted: The traditional surface treatment and the most popular finishing with less cost and customised colours
- Powder coated: more shine and smooth surface than painted acrow props, lasts longer than painted steel props.
- Acrow props made by hot-dip galvanised (HDG) pipes: Most areas of the acrow props have a 40-micro zinc thickness. However, the zinc will be damaged at the welding area. We will do zinc-rich painting on the welding area.
How Much Does Acrow Prop Cost
Acrow prop costs are based on the cost of raw steel material and the cost of surface treatment(anti-corrossion finishing). As an acro props manufacturer, the following ton price is the basic of the acrow props.
| Acrow Props Cost | Ton Price FOB China |
| Zinc-Plated Acrow Props | 1050 USD/Ton |
| Painted Acrow Props | 960 USD/Ton |
| Powder Coated Acrow Props | 990 USD/Ton |
| Hot Dip Galvanised Acrow Props | 1200 USD/Ton |
| Acrow Prop Made By HDG Tube | 1050 USD/Ton |
