Acrow props are the adjustable steel props for building work that needs reliable temporary support. Whether you are propping a floor, holding up falsework, or supporting a structural opening, you need props for building sites that will not let you down. Acrow props from Altrad Generation are manufactured to BS4074:1982 and tested to BS5507-3:1982, giving you a prop built to a recognised industry standard.
You can buy acrow props in five sizes, covering heights from 1040mm through to 4880mm. If you are checking acrow props size or acrow props dimensions before you order, size 0 runs from 1040mm to 1830mm and weighs 12.95kg, while size 4 extends from 3200mm to 4880mm and weighs 26.36kg. Acrow size 3 sits in the middle of the range, extending from 2590mm to 3960mm and weighing 22.57kg, giving you a strong middle ground for taller openings and deeper structural work.
These metal props suit a wide range of site tasks, from propping masonry walls during refurbishment to supporting temporary beams and steelwork during building alterations. Pair your acrow props with the Strongboy Wall Support or Strongboy Wall Support XL prop head when you need dedicated masonry shoring rather than straightforward propping. When you search for acrow props for sale, you want a prop that covers formwork, falsework, and structural support in one range, and that is exactly what this range delivers.

Q. What is the difference between acrow props and trench struts?
