Euro Props
These props are typically used in Formwork and are designed to be used as vertical floor prop for temporary structures. They can be used for back propping to support the floor slab, or to support the decking of several systems.
Apl’s Euro Props feature well-positioned index holes, making height adjustments very easy. Our props include a built-in safety feature that reduces hazards associated with trapping fingers on adjustment. Head adapters for various decking systems can be secured into the prop to provide solutions for most decking options.
