Heavy Duty Props EN1065 Certified - Adjustable Steel Shoring for Formwork



Heavy Duty Props EN1065 Certified - Adjustable Steel Shoring for Formwork

Revolutionizing Construction with Precision Engineering

The construction industry increasingly relies on adjustable steel props for safe and efficient formwork support. As a foundational component, the heavy duty prop has evolved to meet the demands of modern construction projects. According to the Journal of Construction Engineering and Management, advancements in steel prop technology have contributed to a 15-20% reduction in formwork-related accidents on construction sites globally since 2018.

Shoring Prop-Heavy Duty by Horizon Formwork

HORIZON's heavy duty prop is an adjustable steel prop designed specifically for slab formwork applications. As an important supporting component of our formwork system, these steel props combine high loading capacity with low weight and exceptional stability. This innovation allows construction crews to work safely and efficiently while maintaining cost-effectiveness. The proprietary design ensures quick setup and easy handling on construction sites.

Engineered for demanding applications, our EN1065 prop series meets the highest European standards for construction shoring systems. This compliance provides assurance of structural integrity and safety on projects ranging from residential complexes to industrial facilities.

Application Scenarios for Shoring Props

Construction professionals deploy shoring prop systems in various structural applications where temporary support is required during concrete curing. HORIZON's prop systems excel in these critical construction situations:

Slab Formwork Support

As a specialized shoring prop for slab formwork, our adjustable props provide the stable, high-capacity support needed for concrete slab construction at multiple levels. Their vertical alignment precision enables uniform load distribution.

Beam and Column Support

Our scaffolding prop configurations offer versatile support solutions for complex beam formations and vertical column structures, with adjustable heights accommodating various design specifications.

Bridge Construction

The heavy duty prop en1065 models provide the required stability and load capacity for bridge deck formwork where vibration resistance and structural integrity are paramount.

Industrial Flooring

For heavy industrial floors subject to substantial equipment loads, the steel acrow prop system from HORIZON delivers superior performance with its enhanced load-bearing capacity.

Professional FAQ: Heavy Duty Prop Engineering

What material specifications do EN1065 props require?

EN1065 certified props like the prop D35 must use cold-drawn steel tubes (S355 grade minimum) with minimum yield strength of 355 N/mm². The material undergoes strict quality control including chemical composition analysis and mechanical testing to ensure consistent performance under load.

How do I calculate required prop density for slab support?

Standard calculation involves determining concrete dead load (thickness × density), live construction loads (typically 1.5 kN/m²), and formwork self-weight. Divide total load by your prop's safe working load (SWL). For example, a 200mm slab requires approx. 1 prop per 1.2m² when using prop 20-350 with 25kN capacity.

What inspection protocols should props undergo?

Conduct bi-annual inspections measuring tube straightness (±0.1% tolerance), wall thickness reduction (max 10% wear), and thread integrity. Reject props showing bending cracks, corrosion beyond 10% surface area, or significant impact damage as per UK NASC SG4:15 scaffolding guidelines.

How does prop height impact load capacity?

The heavy duty prop demonstrates an inverse relationship between height and load capacity. As extension increases, capacity decreases due to enhanced buckling potential. Our D35 series maintains 42.8kN at minimum height but reduces to 35.6kN at full 3.8m extension.

What safety factors are incorporated?

EN1065 props include a safety factor of 1.5 applied to theoretical ultimate load capacity. This means a prop rated for 30kN has an actual failure load exceeding 45kN. This buffer accounts for unanticipated stresses, material variations, and impact scenarios.

How do I properly brace shoring systems?

Implement horizontal bracing at minimum two levels: within 300mm of base plate connection and at top lift. Diagonal bracing should cover every fourth bay vertically and every sixth bay horizontally per AS 3610 formwork standards. For slab formwork prop configurations, lateral ties at every support are recommended.

What maintenance extends prop service life?

Post-use cleaning to remove concrete residue, particularly from threaded elements, prevents corrosion and material buildup. Store in ventilated areas with 70% relative humidity maximum. Apply light oil coating quarterly to inner tubes and annually conduct minor thread reconditioning to maintain smooth adjustment.
