MEVA offers shoring systems for supporting heavy concrete slabs and other elevated construction work. The high load capacity of each prop allows the systems to be installed with wider spacing, which can reduce the total number of supports required compared with lower-capacity configurations.

This article reviews two MEVA shoring systems and their primary applications.

MEVA Shoring Systems

MT 60

Applications for the MT 60

The MT 60 is designed to support heavy slabs at elevated work areas.

Each prop has a load capacity of approximately 60 kN, or about 6 metric tons. The system can be used to support thick concrete slabs and long-span structures in buildings such as gymnasiums and theaters, where large open areas and wider column spacing may be required.

The tower has a straightforward design and can be assembled without special tools. Once assembled, it can be lifted by crane and moved to the next work area as a complete unit. When crane access is unavailable, a dedicated wheeled transport base allows crews to move the tower horizontally across the floor.

Weight	Approximately 15 kg maximum per component
Load Capacity	60 kN per prop
Material	Steel
Frame Height	500 mm 750 mm 1,000 mm

EuMax Pro

Applications for EuMax Pro

EuMax Pro is designed for contractors that want to cover a broad range of working heights with fewer prop types, simplifying equipment selection, inventory management, and procurement.

The EuMax Pro series covers adjustment ranges from 0.98 to 5.50 meters. This range allows contractors to use the system across many common floor-to-ceiling heights without maintaining a separate prop type for every application.

The system complies with EN 1065 and is designed to meet the applicable requirements of the standard.

EuMax Pro also features a self-cleaning external thread that removes concrete residue and sand as the nut is adjusted. This helps reduce thread binding and the maintenance required to keep the adjustment mechanism operational.

Weight	24.70 kg
Load Capacity	Approximately 20 kN for Class D and 30 kN for Class E
Material	Galvanized steel
Overall Length	0.98–5.50 m

MEVA Shoring Project Examples

Wildlife Crossing Bridge in Hungary

MEVA systems were used to construct a wildlife crossing bridge over a highway in Hungary.

The bridge’s curved concrete deck required the shoring layout and working heights to change continuously along the structure. With conventional methods, adapting to these changes may require crews to repeatedly dismantle and rebuild the support system.

To address this challenge, the project team used MT 60 towers mounted on wheeled bases. The fully assembled towers could be moved to the next position without being dismantled, reducing the preparation required between concrete-pour sections.

This approach helped the team adapt the shoring arrangement to the curved deck while working within the project schedule.

Y-Shaped Hotel near Vienna

MEVA’s MT 60 system was used during construction of a Y-shaped hotel near Vienna, Austria. The building’s complex design included cantilevered floor sections that varied in length from one level to the next.

The modular MT 60 system allowed the project team to combine standard and optional components to create configurations for the building’s distinctive geometry and changing floor layouts.

This adaptable arrangement provided temporary support for the varying cantilevered sections while preserving the building’s architectural design.

For Contractors and Commercial Projects

Formwork Design and Engineering Support

MEVA provides in-house design and engineering support for professional formwork and shoring projects. Its engineers can assist with technical questions, system selection, formwork optimization, construction sequencing, and concrete-pour cycle planning.

Services range from basic 2D layouts to 3D CAD drawings and BIM models for large or complex projects. MEVA can also coordinate its proposals with the construction schedule and site supervision team, prepare project-specific formwork concepts, and develop custom components when standard equipment does not fully accommodate the required geometry.

Direct Sales and Formwork Rental

MEVA formwork systems, spare parts, and accessories are available for direct purchase in the United Kingdom. Rental equipment is also available through the company’s partners, giving contractors an alternative to maintaining a permanent formwork inventory.

MEVA’s UK rental terms specify a minimum rental period of one month. Customers may also arrange transportation and logistics, off-site preassembly, cleaning, repairs, or refurbishment as part of a project order. Product availability, rental inventory, delivery dates, engineering fees, and partner arrangements should be confirmed when requesting a quotation.

On-Site Assistance, Training, and Maintenance

MEVA’s field team can assist with system setup, installation procedures, maintenance, and project-specific technical questions. Support is available for standard products and more complex systems, including automated climbing formwork.

The MEVA Academy provides technical and practical training on system applications, proper use, and applicable safety requirements, including continuing professional development options. For contractors maintaining purchased equipment, MEVA also offers inspection, cleaning, facing repairs, panel refurbishment, and other services intended to extend the usable life of formwork components.

For Local Builders and DIY Customers

Commercial Services; DIY Availability Not Confirmed

MEVA presents its UK products and services primarily for contractors and other construction professionals. Its formwork and shoring systems are intended for professional concrete construction, and the official website does not describe a dedicated rental or support program for individual DIY customers.

MEVA’s UK rental terms specify a minimum rental period of one month and require the renter to use, inspect, protect, clean, and return the equipment in accordance with the applicable agreement. The available information does not confirm consumer accounts, single-prop rentals, residential renovation packages, or simplified installation support for inexperienced users.

Commercial builders may contact MEVA or an authorized rental partner to discuss product availability and project requirements. Individual customers should confirm directly whether rental or purchase options are available for their proposed project.
