Spanish Type Steel Prop

Applications of Spanish-Style Steel Props
 
Standardized Dimensions: The mainstream length ranges from 2.2m to 4.8m, with a dominant pipe diameter of 48.3mm (complying with the general dimensions of Spain's formwork system). The adjustment stroke is accurate to 5cm, catering to the construction needs of 3m floor heights in local residential buildings and 5m high ceilings in commercial buildings.
 
1. Residential Building Construction
 
Applicable to mainstream apartment buildings and townhouse projects in Spain, this is the largest application market for Spanish-style steel props.
 
Specific UsesConcrete slab formwork support: Bears the self-weight of the slab and construction loads during pouring to prevent formwork deformation.
Temporary support for internal masonry walls: Avoids wall tilting and ensures masonry verticality.

Recommended Product Model: Lightweight adjustable type, with a load-bearing capacity of 15kN-25kN, hot-dip galvanized for corrosion protection, and equipped with anti-slip top plates to prevent formwork sliding.
Compliance Requirements: Complies with EU Standard EN 1065 and holds CE certification; a load test report must be provided.
 
2. Historical Building Renovation
 
Spain is home to a large number of 19th-century masonry structures. Such projects have extremely high requirements for the precision and low destructiveness of bracing equipment.
 
Specific UsesTemporary reinforcement for wall demolition: Supports adjacent walls without damaging the original masonry structure to prevent collapse.
Roof renovation support: Provides low-height adjustable support (minimum height up to 1.2m) for the low, confined construction spaces of historical buildings.
Auxiliary support for structural correction: Used for tilt correction of old buildings, enabling precise height fine-tuning to control correction progress.

Recommended Product Model: Miniature adjustable type, with a length of 1.2m-2.5m and a load-bearing capacity of 10kN-18kN. Low-VOC polyester painting is adopted to avoid zinc coating peeling and contamination of the stone surfaces of historical buildings.
Compliance Requirements: Complies with the Spanish environmental standard UNE 12001; some projects require testing certification from the cultural heritage protection department.
