Safety First: Best Practices for Acrow Prop Use

While Acrow props are designed for ease of use, proper installation and maintenance are crucial for site safety. We recommend:

Always check the condition of props before use, including the thread mechanism and locking nut
Ensure props are installed on a stable, level surface, using base plates where necessary
Regularly inspect props during use, especially in areas of high vibration or dynamic loads
Never exceed the safe working load for the prop size and extension length
Use props in conjunction with appropriate bracing and lateral support systems

Our team can provide detailed safety guidelines and conduct on-site safety assessments to ensure best practices are followed.
