Adjustable Steel Push-Pull Props

Altrad Generation’s Adjustable Steel Push-Pull Props are engineered for precision control and structural support during vertical formwork and shuttering. These robust adjustable props are ideal for plumbing and securing single or double-faced concrete formworks, particularly where alignment is critical in wall and slab construction. Unlike standard Acrow Props, our Push-pull props are designed to brace formwork panels in both directions using anchoring at the base and top plate connection to the shutter. Each unit includes a standard prop collar and an additional locking collar for enhanced rigidity and on-site safety. The head and base plates measure 150 x 150 x 6mm and feature 38mm diameter fixing holes for secure installation.

Available in sizes 0–4, the props cover extension heights from 1.14m to 4.876m, with Safe Working Loads (SWL) ranging from 7kN to 32kN, depending on height and configuration. These props are fully compliant with BS4074 and tested to BS5507, meeting stringent UK safety standards. Push-pull props integrate smoothly with our Aluminium Walers, Trench Sheets, and Manhole Shutters, making them ideal for use on complex infrastructure and commercial builds.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is a push-pull prop used for?

  • Push-pull props are designed to hold, align, and brace formwork panels especially for vertical concrete walls or columns by anchoring them to the ground and shutter. They allow for exact plumbing during formwork setup.

How do adjustable push-pull props differ from standard acrow props?

  • While Acrow Props are typically used for vertical load-bearing, Adjustable push-pull props provide lateral support and can be used to push or pull formwork into position before concrete is poured.

What sizes are available?

  • We offer push-pull props in five sizes (0–4), with adjustable heights ranging from 1.14m to 4.876m, and weights from 10.9kg to 27.5kg.

Are push-pull props available for hire?

  • Yes. We offer both acrow props for sale and acrow props hire. Please contact your local Altrad Generation branch for pricing and availability.

How to use acrow props or push-pull props safely?

  • Always secure the base plate to a ground anchor and fix the top plate to the shuttering system. Use appropriate collars and consider bracing with tubes and fittings for increased rigidity. Follow BS4074 and project specific temporary works guidance.
