Heavy Duty Acrow Props are adjustable temporary supports designed to support floors, walls, and lintels. They can also be used with Safeweld's Strong Boy Supports, making them suitable for temporary support around wall openings and during masonry work.
According to Safeweld, the props feature 150 mm square top and bottom plates, a 60.3 mm outer tube, and a 48.3 mm inner tube. The threaded section is friction-welded to provide strength while reducing weight compared with conventional props.
Sizes 0, 1, and 2 are available, giving contractors a choice of adjustment ranges for renovation projects, wall-opening work, and general construction. Load-bearing capacity is not listed on the official product page. A qualified temporary works professional should confirm prop spacing, loads, and installation requirements before use.

The Size 3 Adjustable Acrow Prop is designed to support floors, walls, and lintels where a longer adjustment range is needed. Its published closed length is 2,590 mm and its extended length is 3,962 mm, providing greater vertical reach than the smaller Acrow Prop sizes listed by Safeweld.
The Size 3 prop may be suitable for temporary works involving higher openings, elevated floor work, and other applications that fall within its adjustment range. Safeweld lists the height and width as 150 mm and the unit weight as 17.6 kg.
The official product page states that Size 3 props are supplied on pallets and that items longer than 2.2 m may require assistance with manual unloading or the use of a forklift. Site access and unloading requirements should therefore be confirmed before ordering. The official website does not list a load-bearing capacity or material specification for this product.

Adjustable Push-Pull Props are designed to provide angled support for formwork and falsework. The range is available in sizes 0 through 4, allowing contractors to select a prop length that fits the planned temporary support configuration.
Each prop includes a standard prop collar and an additional locking collar designed to maintain rigidity. Safeweld also describes a heavy-duty steel construction with swiveling plates on both the inner and outer tubes, allowing the props to be secured at different angles.
Published specifications include a dark green painted finish, a 150 × 150 × 12 mm base plate, and a 150 × 90 × 12 mm head plate. Load-bearing capacity is not listed on the official website. Engineers and project teams should verify design loads, connection details, and bracing requirements before specifying these props.
