Acrow Props
The remarkably versatile Acrow Prop has many uses and it would be hard to find a building
site where it is not used in one way or another. The universal popularity of the Acrow Prop
is due to the fact that it provides the simplest and quickest method of temporary support.
A multitude of uses:
The main use of the Acrow Prop is in the temporary support of formwork for reinforced
concrete floors and beams. They are equally useful as raking shores to support formwork for
columns, walls and staircases. They are invaluable in repair work, for replacing a permanent
support, for supporting canopies, lintels and the like, while brick work or concrete is setting.

Strong Boy Wall Supports
Supporting walls while you fit lintels, R.S.J’s or beams can be tricky but not with the Strong Boy
wall support. Simply hammer the blade into a raked mortar joint and support it with a single
Acrow prop while you remove the masonry beneath. (refer to an engineer for load capacities).

Titan Super Props
PROPPING EQUIPMENT
Capable of supporting eight times the load for the same weight of its steel counterpart, this
extruded aluminium prop is easily handled in awkward locations. Ideally suited for building
remediation and difficult access application due to their light weight and ease of erection.
• Massive 10t safe load
• Light alloy easy handling
Titan Super Props are available in three sizes:

Universal System 15 is the latest addition to the Coates Hire Support System range of
propping. It can connect to the System 30 as well as System 60 to provide a versatile
propping system.
Besides being used as a compression member, this system has found use as a form work
soldier, a raking prop and also as a bracing where it provides an efficient load carrying
capacity for the loads up to 160kN.The section of the System 15 prop is 140 x 190 mm.
M14 N, B W are required to connect members and accessories of System 15 together.

Universal System 30 is amongst the latest addition to the Coates Support Systems range of
propping and is essentially a lighter version of System 60. This system is more efficient than
a formwork soldier. The System 30 prop unit has a safe axial capacity of 30 tonnes and is a
similar fabrication to System 60 Prop Unit but with a 190mm square section. Holes in both
flanges of the prop unit enable the positive and direct bolting of bracing members and other
props. Highly efficient frames, trusses and three dimensional structures can be designed and
built entirely from off the shelf components thereby reducing lead time. The modular concept
and simple connection details also ensure rapid assembly and dismantling
times. The System 30 beams can attach directly to the web of System 60 enabling substitution
for cross members in System 60 designs. M18 N, B and W are required to connect members
of System 30 and 60. Coates Hire has a range of propping and needling accessories which can
be used as illustrated. The permissible loading given is for a free standing strut,
incorporating one screw jack and multiples of beam section connected by standard
4 bolt pattern, without intermediate bracing, placed between firm and level
bearing surfaces. Refer to AS 3610 for acceptable criteria for installation, bracing
and eccentricity of loading. Screw jack to be placed at a strut end only.

Universal System 60 is a high capacity prop in the System Prop family. It is fully compatible
with system 30 and also connects to System 15 props. System 60 has a nominal safe axial
load of about 60 tonnes. This extremely versatile modular system, comprising bracing
members, grillage beams, needle beams and an extensive range of ancillary components is
more than capable of providing a safe and economical solution for medium to heavy duty
propping applications. System 60 can be integrated with System 30 to achieve varying
structures. The versatility of the system and its components ensures that solutions can
be found for a very wide range of support problems. The permissible loading given is
for a free standing strut, incorporating one screw jack and multiples of beam section
connected by standard 4 bolt pattern, without intermediate bracing, placed between
firm and level bearing surfaces. Refer to AS 3610 for acceptable criteria for installation,
bracing and eccentricity of loading. Screw jack to be placed at a strut end only.

Turnkey Solutions Installation Model
Our turnkey solution began as a customer project site support offering, focusing on dewatering and
structural propping services. This includes not only the provision of engineering support and great product
solutions but also a team of qualified site engineers that can install the products safely and then support
the project at every stage up to completion.
We have decided to further develop the turnkey solutions model to other areas of our specialist product
portfolio and to enhance the offering by building a team of fully trained and accredited riggers and
engineers that can project manage from conceptual designs through to installation.
Qualified Project Managers oversee the process from start to finish and with the full support of our
engineering team we can now partner with our customers to supply an exceptional and unique installation
service. This single point of contact streamlines the process and means we can react quickly to fulfil
customer expectations.
Our engineers are able to sign off installations and quickly manage any variations to an agreeable outcome,
reducing down time and speeding up processes. This provides our customers with great value and peace of
mind knowing that a single source solution is eliminating the need for multiple contractors on the project
to achieve the same goal, reducing valuable down time and saving time and money along the way.

most cost effective engineering solution for their project.
We can now support you at the very early planning stage, manage the installation process via a range of
turnkey solutions and also provide engineering sign off for designs and installed schemes when needed.
We provide full project support, which includes a team of qualified experts offering support and advice
ranging from simple enquiries to highly complex project challenges.
