What is Scaffolding Prop
Scaffolding props, also known as adjustable props or shoring props, formwork props, construction props, shuttering jacks, building props, post shores, adjustable steel props, shoring posts, telescopic props, adjustable scaffolding jacks, shuttering jacks, shuttering props, etc., are temporary vertical supports used in construction to support structures, such as formwork, scaffolding, slabs, foundations.
In construction and engineering, the adjustable scaffolding props temporarily hold up weight and ensure stability during construction and renovation.
For example, when adjustable scaffolding props are used in formwork, they support concrete formwork structures (like slabs, beams, walls, and columns) while concrete is pouring and forming; they can not be removed before the concrete is sufficiently cured and strong.
Key Components of Scaffolding Props
- Prop Outer Tube: This is the big tube of the scaffolding props, usually with threaded parts(welded or threaded directly).
- Prop Inner Tube: Smaller tube slides inside of the outer tube, typically with holes on for fixing a prop height in construction.
- Prop Sleeves: Props sleeves are part of the prop outer tube but with screw threading
- Prop Nuts(Cups): Cast or forged prop accessories with a handle assembled on the prop sleeves and used to turn up and down on the screw sleeve that adjusts the scaffold props slightly.
- Prop Base Plate: Flat plate at the bottom of the scaffolding prop. Typically welded on the outer tube of the props.
- Prop Head Plate: Top part of the scaffolding props. The head part of the props can be a flat plate (top plate), U head or fork head, cross head, etc.
- Prop Lock Pins: G Pins or Straight Pins of the Props. Used to be inserted into the inner tube holes of the Scaffolding Props that fix the scaffolding props at a required height in construction and shoring.

Applications of Scaffolding Props
- Formwork Support:
- Scaffolding props are commonly used to support formwork during concrete pouring. They hold the moulds or forms in place until the concrete has set and gained enough strength to support itself.
- Shoring:
- Props are used for shoring purposes to support existing structures temporarily. They are often employed when repairs or renovations are needed on walls, ceilings, or floors that require additional support to prevent collapse during the construction work.
- Scaffolding Systems:
- In scaffolding, props are used to support working platforms or walkways, ensuring the safety and stability of workers on elevated surfaces.
- Bridge Construction:
- Scaffolding props are often used for supporting beams and deck forms in bridge construction.
- Underpinning and Foundation Work:
- Props can temporarily support structures during foundation repairs or excavating around existing foundations.
Types of Scaffolding Props
There are several types of scaffolding props designed to meet various loading bearing and height adjustment requirements:
Adjustable Steel Props
Adjustable steel props are the most common scaffolding props made of high-strength steel sections and structures of tubes, plates, nuts, pins, etc. They are durable, strong, and versatile.
Features:
- Take high load
- Telescopic for versatile construction
- Durable with a long lifespan
- Cost Effective
- Easy to transport
Recommended Read: Adjustable Steel Props
Single Piece Steel Props
- These props are fixed in height and can not be adjusted
- Typical used for low load application and in situations where height variations are not a requirement
Adjustable Aluminium Props
- Adjustable scaffolding props made of aluminium profiles.
- Lightweight props with large outer and inner tubes. These telescopic props are used as an alternative to adjustable steel props, designed for applications that need to reduce the weight of the adjustable prop while keeping high bearing for construction. (Peri and Doka Props)
- Easy handling
- Easy assembly and dismantle
Push Pull Props
An adjustable scaffolding prop designed to support structures at any angle is typically used for wall formwork systems to support the vertical wall formworks from the side. There are double and single push-pull props for construction. Double push-pull support the wall formwork panels simultaneously at higher and lower positions.

Steel vs. Aluminium Scaffolding Props
Steel or aluminium props are scaffolding prop types divided according to the raw material used. Steel props are made of steel scaffold tubes, called telescopic steel props, adjustable steel props, etc. Aluminium props are made of aluminium tubes.
Steel scaffolding props are the most popular support jacks for the construction, shoring and shuttering. It can take more weight and load in the support, while the cost of steel props is much cheaper than aluminium props. That is why steel props nowadays are the best scaffolding props for construction.
Aluminium props are light in weight and easy to handle. Nowadays, formwork companies like Doka and Peri use aluminium props in some of their projects.
Steel is easily rusty if it is not protected from the surface. Thus, the steel props must be galvanized or painted for anti-corrosion.
Painted steel scaffolding props are finished with different colours (red, yellow, blue, green, etc.) of the painting on the surface for protection; it can last 1-5 years without rust if regular maintenance is done.
Galvanized steel props include three types:
- Hot-dip galvanized steel props
- E-galvanized steel props
- Pre-galvanized steel props.
Among them, hot dip galvanized is the most durable type, lasting 10-25 years.
E-galvanizing scaffold prop is also called zinc-plated or cold-galvanizing props. It has less zinc thickness than HDG props and can last 2-5 years.
Pre-galvanized steel props are also called GI steel props. It is made of premier galvanized steel scaffolding pipes. The welding line of the GI props needs extra paint for manufacturing protection. Pre-galvanizing can last 2-5 years as well.
Considering the cost and price, hot dip galvanized is the most expensive, while zinc-plated and pre-galvanized steel props are much cheaper.

Acrow Props and Scaffolding Props
Acrow prop is also called acro jacks or acrows. It is a unique adjustable steel scaffolding prop popular in the UK and Europe. (“Acrow” is the name of Mr A. Acrowe, who created the acrow prop for construction.)
Sizes of the acrow props are 0#, 1#,2#,3#,4#. The following is the technical data for each size of acrow prop.
| No. | Acrow Prop Sizes | Adj Range | Max Height | Bearing Weight At Max Height |
| 1 | Acrow Prop Size 0 | 1.04m – 1.83m | 1.83m | 60 KN |
| 2 | Acrow Prop Size 1 | 1.75m – 3.12m | 3.12m | 38 KN |
| 3 | Acrow Prop Size 2 | 1.98m – 3.35m | 3.35m | 36 KN |
| 4 | Acrow Prop Size 3 | 2.59m -3.96m | 3.96m | 35 KN |
| 5 | Acrow Prop Size 4 | 3.20m – 4.86m | 4.86m | 26 KN |

Propping System and Scaffolding Props
Scaffolding props are a critical component of the propping systems in construction, formwork and shuttering.
In the propping system, adjustable scaffolding props are used together with components of formwork beams (including main beam and secondary beams), film face plywood, prop tripod, fixed U head and forkhead and formwork clips, prop bracing and strongboy, etc, to form the construction propping and shoring.
More than adjustable scaffolding props, scaffold systems and frames are often used in the propping system. The most used scaffolding for construction vertical support, Cuplock Scaffolding, Ringlock Scaffolding, Kwikstage Scaffolding, Frame Scaffolding, and Shoring Frames, are used a lot for the vertical support of the construction propping system.
Why are adjustable props more commonly used in the propping system than scaffolding?
Features of Adjustable scaffolding props
- Adjustable and Versatile for Different Construction Heights
- Offer extra support any time and any place when needed
- Compatible with all scaffolding and formwork system
- Quick and Easy Assembly
- Move quickly without complicated dismantle
- Take more load than regular scaffolding
Adjustable Props Better Than Scaffolding in Construction Propping
- Easy Setting Up: When scaffolding is used for vertical propping in formwork and construction, they must assemble essential scaffold parts of scaffold standards, ledgers, braces, etc. Adjustable propping is used singly in support.
- Easy Adjust to Different Heights: When using adjustable props, you need to lock the inner tube at a height and then slightly adjust by turning up and down the prop nut to reach the exact construction height. Scaffolding is not as simple like this, you need to erect or dismantle extra scaffold standards, ledgers for different construction heights.
- Easy to Move: Adjustable props are easy to move to any place wanted in the construction propping. In comparison, moving scaffolding must be dismantled first or at least move the whole scaffolding frame, which takes more time and is more complex.
For the above reasons and features, adjustable props are better used in construction propping systems.

How to Choose the Right Scaffolding Props?
Choosing the right scaffolding props for your construction shoring by two steps:
- Check the height range of your construction support; what is the minimum height, and what is the maximum height
- How much weight(load capacity) do the scaffolding props need to take in propping?
For example, if you want a support construction at a max height of 4m. You can select 2.2-4m scaffold props. If you support concrete with a max height of 5.5m, you can choose 3-5.5m adjustable props.
You can also choose light-duty, medium-duty and heavy-duty props according to the weight-bearing requirement of your propping and construction.
