Support & Prop Hire

Acrow Props, Strongboys & Trench Struts

Professional-standard support equipment is suitable for trade and DIY customers. Supports hold up floors, walls, ceilings, trench walls, masonry and more when installing lintels, RSJs, and beams during construction, renovation, and utilities work.

Acrow Props are strong and durable props made from tubular steel. They support framework and openings during work. Acrow props are available in different sizes, and they are telescopic with a convenient adjustment range.

Strongboys (Prop Heads) are strong and robust heads that sit on top of acrow props. The blade of the acrow prop head supports hammer into raked mortar joints for support during work. Strongboys weigh 6.5kg, with a support span of up to 900mm and a maximum safe load of 340kg.

Trench Struts are strong and realiable supports for trenches and openings during work. They are available in different sizes, and they are telescopic with a convenient adjustment range.

From 1st April 2022, our suppliers will only fuel machines with white diesel. This is due to new government guidelines.

If you, as the hirer, refuel any equipment while it is in your possession, it must be with WHITE DIESEL.

YOU MUST NOT USE RED DIESEL IN HIRED MACHINES OR EQUIPMENT.

If you return a machine refuelled with rebated diesel, suppliers will have to remove and dispose of the fuel. They must also flush the tank and supply lines before they can refuel them. The process is chargeable, with no exceptions.

An "away from depot" charge will be calculated at checkout. We recommend you have your own Hired-In Plant Insurance (HIPI). If you need this, we can introduce you to an insurance provider, talk to us.
