What the Prop Does on Site?

The shuttering jack is used on the job site as a temporary support while the concrete is being poured. Until the concrete is dry, it holds up the floor slabs and beams that go up and down.

Its height can be changed, so you can use it on uneven ground and slabs of different sizes. The threaded screw lets the load be dropped in a controlled way when the formwork is hit, and the U-shaped head keeps the main beams from moving to the side.

Material and Surface Treatment

Q235 steel is used to make the body. The tube can be used for any job because its walls are between 1.6 mm and 4 mm thick.

There are four surface options:

  • There is a zinc layer on the steel base that makes it pre-galvanized. It works best in dry indoor areas.
  • A coat of paint over the steel for use inside.
  • It's a baked-on finish with a uniform colour that doesn't wear off easily.
  • Hot dip galvanised is a zinc coating that is put on by hot dipping and is good for places that are damp or outside.

Features for Site Use

One shuttering jack can cover more than one floor height because it can be adjusted in height. This means you don't have to bring as many different prop sizes to the set.

Because the props all have the same shape, they are stacked and shipped in groups. If you check them over and keep them in good shape, steel props can be used for more than one pour.

Where You Can Use It

The prop is made for building construction, where slab and beam forms need temporary support up high. Heavy Duty types are used for longer spans and heavier loads, while Light Duty types are used for standard ceiling heights and residential buildings.

Choosing the Right Type and Finish

  1. Length: Pick a value equal to your floor height.
  2. Load: Select Heavy Duty or Light Duty depending on slab span and load. And make sure you and the provider know what the safe working load is.
  3. If the finish is gonna be outdoors or damp, opt for hot dip galvanised or powder-coated. If it's going to be indoors or dry go painted or pre-galvanized.
  4. Quantity and packing: props are bundled for shipping. Check your length and amount of props on the bundle plan.

Inspection Points for Buyers

When you get a delivery, look for these things:

  • See your order and compare the sizes and thickness of the tubes.
  • Straightness: Tube should not be bent, thread should not be broken.
  • Thread action : The tightening thread should be free running.
  • Inspect the welded joints for fractures or holes.
  • Coating: The finish should be even and without apparent damage.

FAQ

Q: Can the goods be made in any size?

A: Yes. Xinjiuyi can make a product based on your drawings, specifications, and needs. You can also choose the style, colour, and size.

Q: Which range of lengths should I pick?

A: Choose a range that fits the height of your floor: 1.7–3 m, 2.1–3.8 m, 2.2–4 m, or 2.7–5 m. Send the team your floor height so they can make sure you choose the right option.

Q: How does the setting affect the choice of finish?

A: If the place is outside or damp, it needs to be hot dip galvanised or powder-coated. Props that have already been painted or galvanised work better in dry indoor settings.

Q: Can I change the height while the prop is still attached?

A: Not at all. When the product is under load, do not turn the threaded screw. To keep the thread from getting damaged, take the load off with a second support first.

Q: What happens if the prop is too heavy?

A: The prop can't be used again if the steel tubes are bent or permanently deformed because they were overloaded. Talk to the provider and your formwork creator to find out what the safe working load is for your model.
