Engineered to international standards for safety, speed and durability on every job site.

Overview

The Prop Tripod is a three-leg steel stand that holds a shoring prop upright while bearers, joists and plywood are placed for a concrete slab. The prop drops into the open socket at the centre and is secured with a clamping hook, so one crew can erect the formwork without a second person steadying each post.

A prop tripod is an erection aid for slab and beam formwork. Three flexible legs carry an open socket at the centre; the shoring prop is set into that socket and secured with a clamping hook struck with a hammer, so the post stands on its own while bearers, joists, plywood or a modular slab system are fitted and braced above. Once the formwork is tied off, the tripod is released and moved to the next position. The TP01 model is made from round steel tube, weighs 10 kgs and folds flat for transport and storage. ACE SCAFFOLD supplies prop tripods FOB Shanghai with OEM/ODM available.

What a Prop Tripod Does

A prop tripod is an erection aid for slab and beam formwork. It holds a shoring prop upright on its own while the bearers, joists and plywood above are fitted, so one crew can set out the formwork without a second person steadying each post.

How the Tripod Holds a Prop

Three legs carry an open socket at the centre of the tripod. The prop is set into that socket and secured with a clamping hook closed by a light hammer blow, which stops the post from slipping while the deck above is built.

Flexible Legs and Folding Design

The supporting legs are flexibly mounted, so the tripod finds a stable footprint even in the corners of a structure. Once the pour is done it folds flat, taking very little room on the truck or in the store.

Where a Prop Tripod Is Used

Use the tripod with any steel prop or post shore in concrete slab and beam formwork, and wherever free-standing props have to be steadied during erection. It is released and reused as soon as the posts are tied off and braced.

Galvanized or Painted Finish

TP01 is supplied galvanized or painted for corrosion resistance on site. The finish protects the socket, the legs and the folding joints through repeated use, transport and outdoor storage.
