ABOUT THE Aluminum Prop
Contube Alu Props are used as individual props and in combination with frames as shoring towers or load towers under tables.
Compared with tubular steel slab props, the aluminium props weighs 100 kN and carries significantly higher loads whilst, at the same time, has a very low dead weight.
With different frame sizes, square or rectangular shoring towers can be optimally adapted to suit individual construction site conditions.
The frames also serve as platform beams and side protection for working levels.
Contube Alu Props are made of aluminium and are therefore extremely light.
The low weight is a crucial factor in handling.
With an extension length from 1.95 m to 3.50 m, the MP 350 covers 90% of standard operations in building construction.
Weighing only 19.40 kg, the MP 350 can easily be set up and installed by one person, also when fully extended.
In addition, cleverly devised details such as the integrated measuring tape or the self-cleaning thread provide for quick and safe working operations.
The outer tubes of the Contube Slab Props are powder coated which makes the surfaces resistant to concrete adhesion. A long service life is ensured through the materials used as well as the design.
High load-bearing capacity
Fewer individual props per m2 through high leg loads.
Contube Alu Props is lightweight and, at the same time, has a very high load-bearing capacity. The props carry leg loads up to 100 kN (according to type test).
The design of the Contube Alu Props serves as an example for optimized material utilization. The carefully thought-out form provides the Contube Alu Props with a high loading-bearing capacity and offers the best connection possibilities for accessories. In addition, the cleverly devised aluminium alloy profile elastically absorbs all impacts. As a result, the profile remains undamaged even if the prop, for example, falls over.
Well thought-out details
With self-cleaning thread, trendsetting Adjusting Nut and continuous adjustability.
Cleverly developed detailed solutions for a very long service life. The continuous multiple thread of the MULTIPROP is self-cleaning and the free running collar does not jam even when the thread is dirty.
The free running collar makes adjustments very simple. One turn of the free running collar equals an adjustment distance of 36 mm-and thus 3 times more than for conventional slab props. The prop itself can still be continuously re-adjusted by means of the adjusting nut even when partially loaded up to 15 kN.
Time-saving length adjustment
The integrated measuring tape on the inner tube shows the complete length of the prop.
Labour costs are a decisive factor for the economic success regarding the execution of the construction work. Contube Alu Props supports fast working operations-among other things through exact height adjustments with very little time and effort.
The integrated measuring tape on the inner tube of the Contube Alu Props allows precise and fast pre-adjustment of the prop without any time-consuming measuring and unnecessarily long re-adjustment procedure. This solution is self-explanatory and requires no tools.
Practical wedge connection
Multifunctional Frame without any time-consuming bolted connections.
For the erection of a shoring tower Contube Alu Props Frames are connected to the Contube Alu Props by means of the captive Wedge Coupler. The attachment of the Frame is possible on both the outer as well as inner tube without having any effect on the ground plan.
The integrated measuring tape on the inner tube of the Contube Alu Props allows precise and fast pre-adjustment of the prop without any time-consuming measuring and unnecessarily long re-adjustment procedure. This solution is self-explanatory and requires no tools.
The profile of the Contube Alu Props facilitates quick and easy connections of the Frames. The wedge of the frame is easily secured in position with a hammer; special tools or even bolted connections are not required. Contube Alu Props towers are pre-assembled preliminary flat on the ground.
The high level of cost efficiency of the Contube Alu Props Shoring Towers also results from the 12 different frame sizes. These facilitate optimum site-related ground plan adjustment with high utilization of the individual components.
Steel Frame sizes 62.5 cm, 75 cm, 90 cm, 120 cm, 137.5 cm and 150 cm.
Aluminium Frame sizes 201.5 cm, 225 cm, 230 cm, 237 cm, 266 cm and 296 cm.
