Acrow Props for Sale: Size, Price & Delivery Quote Check
Check Acrow prop size, quantity and public price samples. For Kent or Ireland delivery, confirm stock, full postcode or Eircode, unloading, VAT basis and model documentation with the supplier.
Cardiff delivery quote checkSize and load boundary: check the exact model's load table.
The Acrow Issue C manual documents No. 00 to No. 4 across 720mm to 4900mm. Acrow's current product page says No. 4 has been discontinued (checked 14 October 2026). The published range is a sizing reference, not confirmation of current stock, safe load, prop quantity, or spacing.

Updated 21 May 2026: this alias is still useful as a procurement shortcut, but not as an execution decision on its own. The gating questions below separate what the phrase can prove quickly from what still needs load, jurisdiction, tax, and certification evidence.
View supplier evidence and procurement gates
| Execution gate | What current evidence supports | Risk if skipped | Minimum action |
|---|---|---|---|
| Concept boundary | Rechecked 21 May 2026: Acrow still presents one Acrow prop range with 6 sizes, 720mm to 4900mm, and axial compression working load limits from 7kN to 50kN. | Buyers can mistake a generic "adjustable" phrase for a distinct product family and skip the size/extension check. | Treat "adjustable for sale" as one alias on this canonical URL, then lock size number + open-height band first. |
| Temporary-works suitability | Rechecked 21 May 2026: HSE still states prop type, size, number, and spacing require load information and explicitly flags side-load underestimation as a failure path. | A cheap listing can be selected before the support arrangement is engineered, creating collapse and rework risk. | Capture load case, side-load risk, and temporary-works review owner before treating a shelf value as execution-ready. |
| Jurisdiction fit | Rechecked 21 May 2026: Safe Work Australia still says model WHS laws do not apply until implemented by each jurisdiction, and Victoria remains outside the model-WHS implementation path. | Interstate copy-paste controls can miss local legal duties and procurement sign-off requirements. | Lock project jurisdiction and regulator before applying model-law language to site execution. |
| Pre-load / pre-pour control | SafeWork NSW safety alert dated 29 Nov 2024 still requires inspection before loading and separate certification no more than 48 hours before pour. | Stock can be delivered and installed with no valid hold-point evidence at critical load stages. | For formwork and pre-pour scopes, require competent-person inspection/certification timing in the quote handoff. |
| Tax and landed-cost comparability | ABF still sets imported GST at 10% of VoTI; GOV.UK still lists standard VAT at 20% and keeps the £135 threshold split for customs/delivery VAT flow. | Inc-tax and ex-tax prices can be compared as if equivalent, producing false savings at order approval. | Normalize each quote to ex-tax base, landed tax basis, and duty trigger before comparing suppliers. |
| Decision tradeoff | Fast path | Evidence-backed path | If evidence is missing |
|---|---|---|---|
| Speed vs evidence | Choose the lowest visible shelf figure and check out. | Hold the order until size range, extension point, and load assumptions are documented. | Keep result as "待确认 / pending confirmation" and escalate to quote-plus-document review. |
| Cross-state governance | Reuse one WHS wording pack for every Australian state. | Confirm jurisdiction adoption and regulator pathway before final controls are signed. | Do not close compliance status; mark legal pathway as unresolved. |
| Merchant price comparability | Compare list prices without normalizing tax and freight treatment. | Apply ABF/GOV.UK tax rules and check whether unavoidable fees are included in displayed totals. | Freeze total-cost ranking and request full landed breakdown from each supplier. |
| Class/test equivalence | Assume equal labels imply interchangeable structural behavior. | Require listing-level class/test or engineering confirmation before substitution. | Maintain "暂无可靠公开数据 / no reliable public evidence" for direct equivalence. |
Where listing-level class/test files are unavailable, keep substitution status at "待确认 / pending confirmation"; there is currently no reliable public dataset proving universal cross-supplier equivalence from merchant labels alone.

If your search started as "acrow props and strongboys for sale", keep it on this same canonical page. Treat the phrase as one buy-intent alias cluster, then split the check into prop body scope and prop-head masonry-support scope before pricing decisions.
Updated 21 May 2026: reviewed Strongboy and HSE sources still show this phrase is a mixed-component brief, not a standalone standardized product family.
Strongboy standard / XL limit
340kg (~3.34kN)
Max spacing
900mm
Max safe working height
3m
Wall-width envelope
225mm (Std), 300mm (XL), 450mm (StrongBeam)
| Strongboys decision gate | What current evidence supports | Risk if skipped | Minimum action |
|---|---|---|---|
| Component boundary | Rechecked 21 May 2026: the Strongboy pages position Strongboy as a prop-head masonry support attachment for Acrow props, while Acrow's current product page still lists the prop body family as 6 sizes over 720mm to 4900mm and 7kN to 50kN. | One headline figure can look complete while key components are still missing from the order. | Split scope into prop body + prop-head attachment + accessories before comparing listings. |
| Load and geometry limits | Strongboy standard and XL still publish max load at 340kg (~3.34kN), max spacing at 900mm, and max safe working height at 3m; the same instructions still cap double-skin cavity width at 50mm. Product pages still position standard Strongboy for up to 225mm walls, XL for up to 300mm walls, and StrongBeam guidance at 1050kg (~10.3kN) with up to 450mm wall support. | Buyers can over-trust the prop body rating and miss the lower head-attachment limit that actually governs the support setup. | Treat the attachment limit as the active bottleneck and escalate to an engineered support path when wall width/span exceeds that envelope. |
| Temporary-works governance | HSE still states prop type/size/number/spacing depend on load case, including additional floor/roof loads and side-load risk; HSE temporary works guidance also says all but the simplest temporary structures require design and calculations. | A component can be purchased and installed without a valid temporary-works design basis. | Collect opening details and load case, then assign a temporary-works design owner before placing the order. |
| Evidence gap and market comparability | Current reviewed sources publish UK component pricing (for example Strongboy GBP26.50 ex VAT, XL GBP31.50 ex VAT, StrongBeam GBP125.00 ex VAT) but do not provide a reliable public AU postcode-level stock/rate ladder for this attachment family. | Cross-market totals can be compared as if equivalent even when attachment variant and freight basis are not aligned. | Keep AU or mixed-market totals in "待确认 / quote-required" status until supplier quote lines include tax mode, freight, and attachment variant. |
| Evidence status | Current conclusion |
|---|---|
| Known (public and reproducible) | Strongboy attachment class, published safe-load envelope, and installation boundary controls (spacing, cavity, and working-height limits). |
| Unknown (public evidence still insufficient) | A normalized AU postcode-level shelf ladder for strongboy-style attachments and a universal cross-brand equivalence map tied to one common test basis. |
Evidence boundary: strongboy geometry/load rules are published and auditable, but a normalized AU postcode-level public attachment ladder is still unavailable in this reviewed source set, so keep mixed-market totals in "待确认 / quote-required" mode.
Use this size guide to match the required closed and open height to a maker's size range. A size number alone does not establish load capacity or compatibility; confirm the exact prop's load-extension table before purchase.
Updated 29 April 2026: when searching for "acrow prop sizes", treat Acrow No. 00 to No. 4 and EN 1065 class labels as separate naming systems. Matching length or a class shorthand does not establish equal capacity or cross-brand equivalence. Compare the exact prop's declared standard and load-extension table at the required height before purchase.
Updated 25 May 2026: for the specific location-intent alias "acrow props australia", the biggest execution gap is usually not range lookup but control-path clarity. Reliable reviewed sources still separate licence thresholds (>4m scaffold fall potential), SWMS triggers (>2m fall risk), inspection cadence, and tax-display basis.
Updated 26 May 2026: for the geo-intent alias "acrow props beenleigh for sale", Acrow contact/capability sources confirm location coverage, but reliable public Beenleigh postcode stock/rate ladders are still missing. Keep this alias in "待确认 / quote-required" mode until supplier lines confirm suburb stock window, tax mode, and dispatch basis.
Updated 25 July 2026: for the Nigerian import-delivery alias "acrow props for sale in lagos", reviewed public sources support Lagos port, customs, SONCAP, and building-control questions, but do not publish a reliable Lagos stock ladder or landed-price table. Keep the same canonical page and move the output into other-export quote mode until supplier lines confirm route, delivery address, condition, pins, and records.

| Australia execution gate | What current official sources add | Boundary / counterexample | Minimum buyer action |
|---|---|---|---|
| Licence trigger versus SWMS trigger | Queensland Scaffolding Code of Practice 2021 (commenced 1 July 2021) says scaffolding work above the 4m fall threshold requires SB/SI/SA high-risk work licensing, while the same code also says scaffold work becomes high-risk construction work when there is a risk of a person falling more than 2m. | These are control-path triggers, not proof that one listed prop size or bundle is structurally adequate for your load path. | Before buy-ready status, confirm whether the brief crosses >4m licensing or >2m SWMS thresholds, then assign the responsible licence holder and SWMS owner. |
| Inspection cadence for >4m scaffold contexts | The same Queensland code states relevant scaffold structures above the 4m fall threshold must be inspected by a competent person before use, after incidents/repairs, and at least every 30 days. | Inspection cadence governs safe continued use; it does not replace extension-point WLL checks for the exact prop setup. | If your job plan involves >4m scaffold exposure, include latest inspection date, next due date, and competent-person record in the procurement handoff. |
| National data baseline (injury and fatality exposure) | Safe Work Australia Key WHS Statistics 2025 reports 188 worker fatalities in preliminary 2024 data, including 24 falls from height (13%), and construction with 37 fatalities plus 17,600 serious claims in 2023-24. | National aggregates show risk exposure, but they do not validate any single supplier listing or site-specific temporary-works design. | Treat fall and construction exposure as active risk context: keep unresolved size/load assumptions at "待确认 / pending confirmation" instead of converting directly to buy-ready. |
| Tax-display comparability across AU and UK | ABF states GST on taxable importations is 10% of the taxable import value. ACCC says total consumer price should include taxes/duties and unavoidable fees, but B2B-only displays may omit GST. GOV.UK still lists standard VAT at 20%, and UK customs-duty logic still uses the £135 threshold split. | Cross-market shelf figures can be non-comparable when one side is ex-tax/B2B display and the other is consumer-inclusive or threshold-dependent. | Normalize every comparison into ex-tax base, applied tax mode, duty threshold path, and unavoidable freight/fees before ranking suppliers. |
| Decision tradeoff | Fast path | Evidence-backed path | If evidence is missing |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fast quote turnaround vs legal fit | Reuse one generic Australian compliance sentence in every quote reply. | Confirm jurisdiction path, >4m licensing trigger, and >2m SWMS trigger before execution labels are approved. | Keep legal-fit status unresolved and escalate before order approval. |
| Visible shelf price vs landed comparability | Compare headline prices without tax-display normalization. | Apply ABF + ACCC + GOV.UK rules to classify each quote as ex-tax, consumer-inclusive, or threshold-conditional. | Freeze "cheapest" ranking and request full landed breakdown. |
| Availability claims vs controlled use | Treat availability as equivalent to safe deployment readiness. | Bind availability to inspection cadence, SWMS ownership, and extension-point load assumptions. | Maintain "待确认 / quote-required" until control records are supplied. |
Evidence boundary: no reliable public dataset in this review cycle provides a normalized postcode-level AU stock/rate ladder for every prop size and condition class. Keep city- or suburb-level quick totals in "待确认 / quote-required" until quote lines expose tax mode, freight basis, inspection record, and class/test evidence.
For the UK-size reading, the same rule still applies: reviewed UK public ladders run by size and extension band (size 1 1.75m to 3.12m, size 2 1.98m to 3.35m, size 3 2.59m to 3.96m), so lock market, size, and required open height in the tool before treating any shelf number as buy-ready.
Updated 29 April 2026: this alias resolves fastest when you lock market, size number, and quantity in the tool first, then use evidence blocks to verify open height, extension point, standards context, and class/test proof boundaries before any public shelf number is treated as buy-ready.
| Australia governance checkpoint | What current sources show | Buyer risk if skipped | Minimum action |
|---|---|---|---|
| AS 3610.1 edition status | Standards Australia lists AS 3610.1:2018 as Current (published 16-Apr-2018) and AS 3610.1-2010 as Available Superseded (published 02-Feb-2010). | If a quote does not state edition/year, buyers can mismatch assumptions even when size tags look familiar. | Request edition-year and clause basis in the first quote handoff. |
| WHS model-law adoption by jurisdiction | Safe Work Australia says implementation timing differs by jurisdiction (Cth/ACT/NSW/NT/QLD from 1 Jan 2012; SA/TAS from 1 Jan 2013; WA operational from 31 Mar 2022; Victoria not implemented). Cross-check: WorkSafe Victoria still routes compliance through the Victorian OHS Act and regulations page. | A one-state compliance assumption can fail when the project crosses jurisdiction boundaries. | Lock project jurisdiction and regulator before treating model-code wording as execution-ready. |
| Temporary-support and compatibility control | The Safe Work Australia General Guide for Formwork and Falsework (July 2014) says high-risk construction includes temporary support for structural alterations/repairs and says mixed-manufacturer components should not be combined unless a competent person confirms compatibility. | Mixed-brand prop swaps can fail even when nominal size tags are similar. | For mixed stock or temporary support, require SWMS + compatibility confirmation before substitution. |
| acrow prop size decision question | What current evidence supports | Boundary / limitation | Minimum buyer action |
|---|---|---|---|
| Is "acrow prop size" a standalone route or product family? | Acrow's current product page, checked 14 October 2026, describes 6 sizes over 720mm to 4900mm and explicitly says No. 4 has been discontinued. The Issue C manual still publishes No. 4 geometry and extension-specific WLL values, so those figures describe the technical range and do not confirm current supply. | A published size range or load table does not prove current availability or cross-brand equivalence. Confirm stock, the exact model, and its load-extension table before purchase. | Treat this query as one canonical alias and lock the required open height + size number first, then confirm the applicable standard, class, and load basis. |
| Do all "acrow prop sizes" use the same tube dimensions? | The Acrow Issue C manual specifies a 60.3mm OD x 3.6mm outer tube and a 48.3mm OD inner tube, 3.6mm thick for No. 00 to No. 3 and 3.9mm for No. 4. | These are Acrow dimensions only. A similar outside diameter on another product does not establish its wall thickness, material, tested capacity, or compatibility; request that product’s technical documents. | Ask for the specific tube wall thickness, outer/inner tube ODs, and steel grade before confirming equivalence. |
| Can one Australian "acrow prop size" quote ignore AS 3610.1 edition status? | Rechecked on 29 April 2026: Standards Australia lists AS 3610.1:2018 as Current (published 16-Apr-2018) and AS 3610.1-2010 as Available Superseded (published 02-Feb-2010). | The standards text is not open-access and many listings omit edition-year references, so equivalence stays at "待确认 / pending confirmation" without document-level proof. | Ask for standard edition-year, current status, and any cited clause before cross-supplier substitution. |
| Does one model-code sentence apply identically across every Australian jurisdiction? | Safe Work Australia model-law pages still show staged implementation by jurisdiction, and the model WHS Regulations page was last updated 05 Dec 2025 with post-2024 amendment context. | Model provisions and codes only have legal effect after jurisdiction adoption, so copied interstate control paths can be non-compliant elsewhere. | Set project jurisdiction first, then confirm local regulator adoption and SWMS trigger logic before execution. |
| Can "acrow prop size" by itself prove spacing or final temporary-works design? | The Acrow Issue C manual still publishes extension-sensitive WLL tables (for example No. 1 drops from 34.0kN to 13.0kN, and No. 4 from 18.0kN to 7.0kN across extension). | HSE temporary-works guidance still states prop type, size, number, and spacing depend on actual loads and a controlled temporary-works process. | After size/height lock, confirm extension point and load case before treating a public shelf number as buy-ready. |
| Does a "size" token prove cross-system equivalence automatically? | BSI still describes BS EN 1065 as current under review, and Doka 08/2025 documentation still lists EN1065 class E55 with extensions up to 5.5m. | Counterexample: a 5.x label can belong to another class system, not to an official Acrow No. 5 family. | If the brief uses "size 5" / "E55" labels, collect class/test documents before allowing substitution. |
| Can matching size labels across suppliers prove physical compatibility on their own? | Safe Work Australia's Formwork and Falsework guide (July 2014) says components from different manufacturers should not be mixed unless compatibility in size, strength, deflection, and fixings is confirmed. | Public product pages rarely publish tolerance and deflection compatibility data, so interchange claims remain "待确认 / pending confirmation" until documented. | If mixed-brand frames/props are involved, request compatibility confirmation from a competent person before substitution. |
| Can public range/price pages alone settle "acrow prop size" equivalence? | Reviewed public AU/UK pages in this round remain useful market signals (range, price, tax mode), but do not consistently expose normalized listing-level class/test certificates. | No reliable public evidence currently confirms a universal open-source mapping that makes every merchant size ladder directly interchangeable with official Acrow numbering under one load basis. | Where class/test basis is missing, keep status at "待确认 / pending confirmation" and move into quote-plus-document review. |
If your search started as "acrow prop size chart", keep it on this same canonical page. This is an alias for one size-and-range decision flow, not a separate route: official Acrow's manual documents a No. 00 to No. 4 technical range. Its current product page, checked 14 October 2026, describes 6 sizes across 720mm to 4900mm and says No. 4 has been discontinued, so this chart does not confirm that No. 4 is currently available to buy.
Updated 14 October 2026: a chart is useful for first geometry triage, but it is not a standalone execution answer. The official table remains extension-sensitive by size, while HSE still says prop type, size, number, and spacing depend on loads and temporary works controls.
| Size-chart decision question | What current evidence supports | Boundary / limitation | Minimum action |
|---|---|---|---|
| Can the chart answer the geometry first-pass? | The Acrow Issue C manual lists No. 0 to No. 4, with No. 00 at 0.72m to 1.00m and No. 4 at 3.10m to 4.90m. Acrow's current product page, checked 14 October 2026, describes 6 sizes across 720mm to 4900mm but also says No. 4 has been discontinued. | The manual's No. 4 range is a technical reference, not proof of availability. Version drift also exists: Acrow's 2014 legacy page uses a 5-size shorthand (1050mm to 4900mm), so check source date and current stock before relying on a copied chart. | Use the chart to shortlist likely size family and extension envelope first. |
| Can a size chart by itself set spacing or final temporary-works design? | The official table is extension-sensitive (for example, No. 1 moves from 34.0kN to 13.0kN across range; No. 4 moves from 18.0kN to 7.0kN). | HSE still states prop type, size, number, and spacing depend on loads, and temporary works must be designed, installed, and maintained to control risk. | Lock target open height, extension point, and load case before buying. |
| Does a public "size chart" prove one-to-one equivalence across all suppliers? | BSI metadata still lists BS EN 1065:1999 as current under review (published 15 November 1999), which is useful for standard-family context. | No reliable public evidence currently confirms a universal open-source conversion chart that maps every merchant ladder directly to official Acrow No.00-No.4 across load assumptions. | Treat cross-brand equivalence as pending until listing-level class/test files are supplied. |
Where listing-level class/test evidence is missing, keep the size-chart conclusion at "待确认 / pending confirmation" and move into quote-plus-document review.
If your search started as "acrow prop size 1", "acrow prop size 1 for sale", or "acrow props size 1 for sale", keep it on this same canonical page. This is one size-1 alias cluster inside the same "acrow props" intent, not a separate route: official No. 1 runs 1.60m to 2.80m, while reviewed AU and UK public size-1 pages currently run 1.75m to 3.12m and 1.75m to 3.12m.
Updated 18 April 2026: size-1 public ladders still diverge near the upper range, so start with market, size 1, and quantity in the tool, then confirm required open height and load assumptions before treating any public shelf number as buy-ready.
Updated 24 April 2026: if size-1 sourcing is moving into temporary-support execution, price and range still need a jurisdiction control check first.
| Jurisdiction gate | What reviewed sources show | Minimum action before buy-ready |
|---|---|---|
United Kingdom Size-1 props are procured for UK work at height but no named competent supervision/rescue plan is documented | Checked on 24 April 2026, Work at Height Regulations 2005 regulation 4 requires work at height to be properly planned, appropriately supervised, and safe so far as reasonably practicable, and it explicitly includes planning for emergencies and rescue. Regulation 5 then requires competence (or supervised training). | Before any UK size-1 installation, assign competent supervision and include emergency/rescue planning in the work-at-height method pack. Risk if skipped: A buy-ready assumption based on shelf size can bypass mandatory planning/competence controls before installation. |
Australia (Victoria) Victoria HRCW scope is present but SWMS is not prepared before size-1 support work starts | Checked on 24 April 2026, WorkSafe Victoria SWMS guidance says high-risk construction work includes fall-risk above 2m and structural alterations requiring temporary support to prevent collapse. The same guidance says SWMS must be prepared before HRCW begins and the work must be carried out in accordance with SWMS. | For Victoria projects, treat size-1 procurement as SWMS-gated once the scope enters HRCW; prepare SWMS before work starts and keep execution aligned with it. Risk if skipped: Skipping the SWMS gate can convert a pricing shortcut into an immediate compliance and collapse-control exposure. |
Australia Project relies on model-WHS template text without checking Victoria adoption differences | Checked on 24 April 2026, Safe Work Australia states model WHS laws are implemented in all jurisdictions except Victoria and approved codes of practice are not law (though admissible in court). | Do not assume model-WHS template wording is legally identical in Victoria; verify the state duty path before approving execution. Risk if skipped: A model-code copy-paste can miss Victoria-specific legal controls and create false compliance confidence. |
Australia (Victoria) Victoria procurement or framework agreements run into the 2027 regulation-remake window | Checked on 24 April 2026, WorkSafe Victoria says the OHS Regulations and Equipment (Public Safety) Regulations expire in April and June 2027 respectively, and a remake review is underway. The current regulations remain in force until remade. | If project lifecycle extends into 2027, add a regulation re-check milestone before final procurement lock. Risk if skipped: Long-cycle supply decisions can drift into regulatory change windows without planned compliance revalidation. |
United Kingdom UK size-1 support stays in service but no 7-day/post-event inspection owner is named | Checked on 24 April 2026, HSE scaffolding guidance (updated 11 March 2026) still requires inspection following installation/before first use, at intervals of no more than every 7 days, and after circumstances liable to jeopardise safety (for example high winds). HSE also states inspection must be done by a competent person and reports should capture defects and corrective actions. | For UK site execution, assign inspection ownership before procurement lock: inspect before first use, every 7 days, and after events that can affect safety. Risk if skipped: A size-1 purchase can look complete while recurring inspection ownership and records are still undefined. |
AU / UK public listings Cross-brand size-1 selection is being approved from range+price cards without class/test basis | Checked on 24 April 2026, Doka's 08/2025 floor-prop user information explicitly publishes EN 1065 class groupings and warns that adding a 0.50m extension decreases load limit by 20%. In the same review window, common AU/UK retail size-1 pages in this source set still present range-and-price first listings without an equivalent class-and-extension table for the exact SKU. | If props are mixed across suppliers, request listing-level class/test evidence with extension-load tables before treating a "size 1" label as equivalent. Risk if skipped: Label-only matching can collapse materially different class and extension assumptions into one unsupported "size 1" decision. |
Australia Size-1 props are being combined with scaffold/formwork elements from mixed systems without design confirmation | Checked on 24 April 2026, Safe Work Australia's General guide for formwork and falsework says scaffolds should not support formwork/falsework/plant unless specifically designed for that purpose and that mixing components from different manufacturers can affect structural integrity. The same guide states a licensed scaffolder is required where a person or object could fall more than 4m from a scaffold or support structure. | If size-1 props will be integrated with scaffold/formwork systems, escalate to competent design sign-off and licensed-scaffolding checks before execution. Risk if skipped: Shelf-level component mixing can create hidden structural and licensing breaches even when each item appears acceptable in isolation. |
AU / UK public listings Cross-merchant size-1 decision is being made without listing-level technical-basis confirmation | Reviewed on 18 April 2026, size-1 ladders in the current source set still diverge (for example 1600mm to 2800mm versus 1750mm to 3120mm and 1.753m to 3.124m), and no reliable public technical sheet in this set proves that extended merchant size-1 listings above the official 2.80m ceiling share the same official Acrow No. 1 engineering basis. | Keep cross-merchant size-1 equivalence in pending-confirmation mode until supplier technical basis is supplied for the exact listing. Risk if skipped: Matching the label "size 1" without class/test confirmation can mask non-equivalent load assumptions. |
If this gate stays unresolved, keep the size-1 result in "待确认 / pending confirmation" and move through the quote handoff instead of direct purchase.
If your search started as "acrow prop size 00" or "acrow props size 00", keep it on this same canonical page. This is a short-prop boundary alias, not a separate route: official Acrow No. 00 runs 0.72m to 1.00m, while reviewed AU public size-00 pages currently show 600mm to 900mm at $63.89 including GST.
Engineering Boundary Warning (Updated 14 October 2026):
- The 1m Boundary Handover: The official Acrow specifications define a strict 50mm dead zone between No. 00 (max 1000mm) and No. 0 (min 1050mm).
- Market Variance: Public shelf listings ignore this boundary. Some stretch Size 00 up to 1163mm (e.g., Dynaton) overlapping Size 0, while others stop at 900mm (e.g., Victoria Scaffolding) creating a massive 170mm coverage gap.
- Action: Never assume a 1m to 1.1m requirement matches a casual shelf-pick. You must run a direct check of the specific manufacturer's closed/open range before purchase.
Updated 18 April 2026: reviewed UK public ladder pages still list size 0 to size 4 only, so UK size-00 visibility is still treated as "待确认 / pending confirmation" on this page.
Start with market and quantity in the tool, then run the 1m shortcut to lock the exact closed/open range before treating any shelf listing as buy-ready.
If your search started as "acrow prop small" or "acrow props small", keep it on this same canonical page. These phrases are short-range shorthand inside the same "acrow props" cluster, not a separate route or product family.
Updated 28 October 2026: official Acrow No. 00 still runs 0.72m to 1.00m, and official No. 0 starts at 1050mm, so the official handover gap is 50mm. Reviewed AU size-00 listings currently show 600mm to 900mm, while the reviewed AU size-0 sample starts at 1070mm, so the public handover gap is 170mm. Reviewed UK ladders still start at size 0. So "small" remains a boundary check until the required closed/open range and load case are explicit.
| Small-query cue | What to treat as known now | What stays unknown | Minimum action |
|---|---|---|---|
| "small" plus ~1m request | Map to No.00 / short-prop boundary on this canonical page. | Public listing labels are not a proof of class/test equivalence across merchants. | Use the 1m shortcut, then confirm exact closed/open range in the quote brief. |
| "small" without a target height | Still one alias cluster under "acrow props". | The size family (00 versus 0/1) cannot be locked from wording alone. | Set market + quantity in the tool, then supply a required open-height band before buy decisions. |
| UK "small" shorthand | UK reviewed public ladders still expose size 0 to size 4. | Public UK size-00 visibility remains "待确认 / pending confirmation". | Keep benchmark-only status until listing-level documents confirm the matched size family. |
| Evidence checkpoint (rechecked 28 October 2026) | New fact or comparison | Boundary or limitation | Minimum execution action |
|---|---|---|---|
| Official short-end handover | Acrow No. 00 runs 0.72m to 1.00m, and official No. 0 runs 1.05m to 1.83m. The official handover gap is 50mm. | A keyword alone cannot decide exact extension point, load path, or spacing plan. | If the brief sits near 1000-1050mm, keep quote-only status and include target closed/open heights in the inquiry. |
| AU public short-end contrast | Reviewed AU size-00 pages show 600mm to 900mm, while the reviewed AU size-0 page starts at 1070mm. The public handover gap is 170mm. | Public shelf ranges are market signals, not a normalized class-equivalence certificate. | Keep status at "待确认 / pending confirmation" until listing-level class/test basis is provided for the exact SKU. |
| UK ladder counterexample | Reviewed UK ladder page still lists size 0-4 only and publishes size-1 capacity at 73.8kN to 38.5kN, which is +39.8kN and +25.5kN versus the official No. 1 endpoints. | Mixed naming can hide different class assumptions and make cross-merchant numbers look equivalent when they are not. | Ask for class/test basis and load assumptions in writing before converting this shortcut into a buy quantity. |
| Control-path requirement | The Acrow manual states props should not be used as jacks and the original high-tensile prop pin is required; HSE temporary-works FAQ (updated 11 March 2026) says acrow prop type, size, number, and spacing depend on loads. | Price/range pages cannot replace project-specific temporary-works control and loading checks. | Move to competent temporary-works review whenever the brief depends on load case, spacing, or non-standard use conditions. |
If any of the checkpoints above remains unresolved, do not force a hard buy conclusion from the "acrow prop small" / "acrow props small" phrase. Keep it in "待确认 / pending confirmation" and use the quote handoff with explicit height, load, and documentation requests.
If your search started as "acrow prop size 0", "acrow prop size 0 for sale", or "acrow props size 0", keep it on this same canonical page. This alias still resolves through one size-and-range route, not a separate URL: official No. 0 runs 1.05m to 1.83m, while reviewed AU and UK public size-0 pages run 1.07m to 1.82m and 1.04m to 1.83m.
Engineering Boundary Warning (Updated 14 October 2026):
- Capacity changes with extension: the Acrow Technical Guide (Issue C) lists No. 0 at 42.5 kN at its 1050 mm minimum extension and 23.3 kN at its 1830 mm maximum extension, a 45.2% drop between those endpoints. Use the WLL for the exact height and installation conditions; do not infer a fixed capacity from the size label.
- The Size 00 handover varies by maker: Acrow's nominal No. 00 and No. 0 ranges leave a 50 mm gap, while Dynaton currently lists #00 to 1163 mm and #0 from 1090 mm, an overlap of 73 mm. Check the exact manufacturer's closed and open range instead of choosing from the size label alone.
- Mass is not a capacity rating: the guide gives the Acrow No. 0 a nominal mass of 13.0 kg. A different weight does not prove that another maker's prop is unsafe or equivalent; ask for the exact model's technical and test documentation before relying on its load rating.
Updated 23 April 2026: reviewed AU and UK size-0 listings still show conflicting public capacity and geometry notes, so treat shelf numbers as benchmark-only and keep listing-level class/test equivalence in "待确认 / pending confirmation".
Start with market, size 0, and quantity in the tool, then confirm open-height fit, load assumptions, and accessory scope before treating any shelf listing as buy-ready.
If your search started as "acrow prop size 2" or "acrow props size 2", keep it on this same canonical page. This is a size-2 alias inside one size-and-range decision route, not a separate URL: official No. 2 runs 1.90m to 3.40m, while reviewed AU and UK public size-2 ladders currently show 1.98m to 3.35m and 1.98m to 3.35m.
Updated 24 April 2026: Victoria size-2 metadata still shows 2023-06-09, while the same supplier's size-1 page shows 2025-12-02 (907 days newer). This improves freshness transparency but still does not replace listing-level class/test proof.
Start with market, size 2, and quantity in the tool, then lock extension point and load assumptions. If equivalence proof is missing, keep the status at "待确认 / pending confirmation" and switch to quote-plus-document review.
Tripod evidence map for "acrow prop tripods for sale"
Updated 10 May 2026. This matrix separates what is confirmed, what is still limited, and what you can execute before sending a buy-ready request.
| Tripod decision slice | What current sources confirm | Known limit / counterexample | Execution action |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tripod is an accessory SKU layer, not a prop-size alias. | Rechecked on 10 May 2026, Acrow Deck release notes still show Issue K (09/2025) as a product update path and Issue L (12/2025) as product + WLL update. The same manual's Tri-Pod / Bracing Frames table lists Universal Tripod AFDTP at 11.0kg plus separate brace-frame SKUs by prop family. | This confirms component identity and mass only. It does not provide a public listing-level class certificate for every seller bundle. | Quote tripod SKU, quantity, and included brace-frame SKUs separately from base props before approving price. |
| Tripod role boundary: installation aid versus structural bracing. | Acrow Deck states tripods and bracing frames are erection/dismantle tools only. Doka's 08/2025 floor-prop guide repeats that the removable folding tripod is a set-up aid and not a substitute for bracing on load-bearing towers. | These are boundary rules, not site-specific design calculations for your exact load path. | If stability depends on the tripod itself, keep status at "待确认 / pending confirmation" and route into temporary-works review instead of checkout. |
| Compatibility must include diameter and extension context. | Acrow Deck says tripod compatibility is diameter-based (48.3mm to 89mm), while Doka publishes model-specific clamping ranges by outer/inner tube positions. Doka's 04/2026 floor-prop-extension guide also warns that adding a 0.50m extension reduces Eurex 30 top/eco permissible load from 37.8kN to 34.7kN. | Diameter fit does not prove equivalent WLL at the required extension point. | Collect outer diameter, prop family, tripod model, and any extension-piece use in the same quote email before comparing alternatives. |
| Commercial/compliance boundary for import and documentation. | The UK Integrated Online Tariff still classifies commodity 7308400000 as equipment for scaffolding, shuttering, propping or pit-propping, with a commodity-valid-from date of 1 January 1972. | Commodity classification supports customs processing; it does not certify tripod-prop compatibility or temporary-works adequacy. | Keep customs classification and engineering suitability as two separate checklist lines in the procurement pack. |
待确认 / 暂无可靠公开数据: in this reviewed cycle, no public AU/UK listing in the page's source set publishes a normalized, downloadable tripod class/test certificate for the exact seller SKU.
Tool-first
Start with a public shelf benchmark, then move into the evidence before you email.
Range check
This page flags when merchant size labels drift away from the official Acrow range.
Risk check
Official WLL and temporary works guidance sit beside the price so the number is not read in isolation.

Visual context
Product context before the buying shortcut
Check Acrow prop size, quantity and public price samples. For Kent or Ireland delivery, confirm stock, full postcode or Eircode, unloading, VAT basis and model documentation with the supplier.
The visual is there to keep the page grounded in the actual product while the tables, source stack, and range checks carry the technical buying evidence.

What to check before buying an Acrow prop for sale
A price is only useful with its market, size, range and tax basis. Use the evidence below when a listing or job brief needs a closer check.
Open price examples, size maps and source comparisons
3m decision layer
What the current sources actually support when the brief says 3m
Reviewed and updated 18 April 2026. The current AU and UK public ladders, the official Acrow manual, and the public supplier pages do not all mean the same thing around 3m. This section separates what is proven, what is only a public shelf signal, and what still needs direct supplier confirmation. Official No. 1 stops at 2.80m, while some merchant size-1 listings extend past 3m; confirm the product range before using a size label.
Open the 3m source comparison and decision map
No. 3 capacity decision layer
What the evidence really says when the brief is "acrow props design capacity", "acrow props capacity uk", or "acrow prop 3 capacity"
Core No. 3 evidence refreshed 5 June 2026, with additional weight-versus-capacity boundary checks refreshed 10 May 2026. This section closes the remaining gap in the earlier page: unit mismatch risk (kN-versus-tonne), UK BS 5975 control boundaries, AU SWMS trigger conditions, temporary-works design triggers, and unresolved cross-standard proof on public size-3 listings. Where a public listing does not expose exact class/test evidence, status remains "待确认 / pending confirmation". The official No. 3 WLL falls from 35.8kN at minimum extension to 7.7kN at maximum extension, so a size label alone cannot support a load decision.
Open the No. 3 capacity evidence and control checks
4m decision layer
What the refreshed sources actually change when the brief says 4m
Rechecked on 28 April 2026. The earlier page already established that 4m crosses the reviewed size-3 ceiling. This section adds the buying detail that still mattered: the shelf-price step into size 4 is moderate, the published load envelope is not stronger, exact 4.00m WLL is not publicly interpolable, the SWMS trigger boundary can switch on, and the longer family changes handling scope as well. Official No. 3 ends at 3.975m; if the job needs 4m, compare the No. 4 range and ask for the load basis instead of extrapolating a rating.
Open the 4m range, capacity and supplier evidence
Evidence layer
Public price tables, acrow prop size ranges, and the size-1 cross-check sit in one place so the tool result is auditable.
This is the trust layer: the calculator stays useful because the page shows where the number came from, what it does not include, and where the official manual disagrees with merchant labels. The listed price snapshots were checked 12 October 2026. Confirm current price, tax and availability with the supplier.
Decision boundaries
The useful question is not just "what is the acrow props price?" It is where that number stays usable, and where it stops being decision-grade.
These additions turn the current public research into actionable buying limits: size-family coverage, unresolved alias handling, tax and basket drift, engineering trigger points, and the public data gaps that should stay explicit instead of being guessed.
Open detailed size, safety, delivery and cost evidence
Methodology
The tool is intentionally narrow: it prices the public page you can see, then checks that price against the official size logic.
That split keeps the page honest. The calculator solves the immediate buying question, while the methodology explains why a shelf price is sometimes enough and sometimes unsafe to use. The source stack is reviewed every 6 months or sooner if a cited manual, regulator page, or merchant listing changes materially.
Decision flow
Price is only step one of a temporary works decision.
Loads
HSE says prop type, size, number, and spacing all start with the loads acting on the props, including side loads.
Geometry
Match the market label against the official range so you do not buy the wrong prop geometry.
Support
The Acrow manual calls out the original prop pin, height/200 plumbness, centered loading, bearing, and bracing as non-negotiable.
Quote
Once accessories, freight, or export handling matter, move from shelf sample to direct quote.
Open calculation steps and example scenarios
Comparison and risks
The page should not just show a number. It should show when the number is safe to use and when it becomes a false shortcut.
These are the tradeoffs buyers actually face: shelf sample versus official manual, public page versus quote email, tax-mode drift, and convenience versus temporary works risk.
Range mismatch risk
Some merchant size labels stretch past the official Acrow range. Confirm the closed and open length before using the price.
Accessory and delivery drift
Updated 22 April 2026: reviewed UK pages still split pins/collars from base props and currently show pin spread around GBP2-GBP4 ex VAT, while reviewed AU sample pages show separate pin/collar signals around a GST-included base price. Public pages can frame budget direction, but they still do not prove cross-supplier pin material/tolerance equivalence.
2nd-hand condition drift
Used stock can fail before price becomes relevant: the Acrow manual reviewed on 18 April 2026 isolates dents above 4mm, rejects bent pins, and limits end-plate camber to 1mm.
Documentation gap on used lots
The official second-hand sources rechecked on 18 April 2026 still expect condition disclosure, instructions, and available records for work-use supply. A used lot without that trail is not equivalent to a clean merchant SKU.
Hobart freight-chain drift
Updated 11 April 2026: official Tasmania sources point to Devonport/Burnie-linked freight corridors plus Bass Strait ferry legs, but public prop listings still do not provide a reliable Hobart postcode stock/rate ladder. Treat city intent as quote-required logistics scope.
Beenleigh location alias drift
Updated 26 May 2026: Acrow contact/capability sources still confirm Beenleigh/Yatala network coverage, but reviewed public listings still do not publish a normalized Beenleigh postcode stock/rate ladder. Treat "Beenleigh for sale" as logistics scope, not as a separate size class.
Local pickup and restraint
A near-1m Brendale collection still needs vehicle, stillage, and tie-down planning: official No. 00 is 10kg each and 400kg per 40-prop stillage, and the NTC guide says any load that needs two people to lift onto the vehicle also needs to be tied down.
Tax-mode ambiguity
On 18 April 2026, reviewed AU and UK pages did not present tax the same way, and one AU page showed conflicting on-page and structured-data cues. Keep GST or VAT mode attached to the number.
Load drop at extension
Official WLL falls as extension grows. The price alone does not tell you if the prop still suits the load case.
Temporary works scope
HSE says spacing and prop selection depend on the actual loads acting on the props, including side loads, and WorkSafe Queensland flags wrong pins and side loads as failure paths.
Export boundary
Once freight, packing, and accessories dominate the brief, public shelf pricing is the wrong decision layer.
| Channel | Best for | What it still misses |
|---|---|---|
| eBay listing / buyer-protection flow | Marketplace dispute context for an "acrow props for sale ebay" listing | Useful for eligible non-arrival or not-as-described disputes under eBay policy, and sometimes for seller-side ACL context, but it does not prove WLL, condition, safe-use records, temporary-works suitability, or condition-normalized market price. |
| Official Acrow manual | Knowing the nominal range, mass, and WLL by size | No market price. The guide also says a qualified person still needs to review the design. |
| AU merchant / manufacturer pages | Fast Australia shelf benchmark | Reviewed AU sale pages show GST-included copy, but they do not normalize hire or accessory bundle pricing across merchants and at least one current page shows conflicting structured tax metadata. |
| UK merchant pages | Fast UK unit benchmark | The reviewed page shows ex/inc VAT, accessories are sold separately, and bulk discounts start above GBP2000 ex VAT, but delivery cost still needs explicit basket confirmation. |
| Official transport guidance | Planning Brendale or other local pickup restraint | Useful for mass, stillage, and tie-down logic, but it does not confirm local stock, suburb delivery rates, or collection slots. |
| NHVR heavy-vehicle loading rules | Truck-based pickup or delivery restraint planning | Clarifies the heavy-vehicle force standard, but it does not confirm stock, collection windows, or the right prop size. |
| Official climate and local transport planning | Townsville wet-season delivery-risk framing | Shows rainfall/route risk context, but does not provide prop-level postcode stock ladders or suburb delivery-rate cards. |
| SafeWork NSW formwork controls | NSW pre-pour document gate (design safety report + fresh certification) | Defines compliance and timing controls, but does not provide prop pricing or class equivalence. |
| Temporary works review and quote email | Site-specific quantity, spacing, and support logic | Slower than a shelf sample, but this is the only defensible path when loads and geometry matter. |
FAQ
High-frequency buyer questions before the first email
These answers cover the buying checks a public price cannot settle: tax and delivery, exact range, load assumptions, condition, and when to ask for a supplier quote.
How should I use this page if I searched for "acrow props for sale kent"?
Start with the Kent delivery quote check, then select the offered model’s size/range and quantity. Reviewed 28 October 2026: this page has no verified Kent stock feed or delivered tariff. UK shelf samples are references only. Request a written quote with full postcode, dispatch origin, condition, VAT basis, vehicle/unloading needs and required date. The tool does not determine structural sizing, spacing, loads or site suitability; refer these to a competent temporary works designer.
How should I use this page if I searched for "acrow props for sale ireland"?
Start with the Ireland delivery quote check, then confirm the exact model, range, quantity and condition. As of 28 October 2026, this page has no verified Irish stock feed or county delivery tariff. Request a written quote with dispatch origin, county/Eircode, unloading, VAT basis and manufacturer documentation. The UK price sample is not an Irish delivered quote. See the Ireland evidence section for dated primary sources and the distinction between purchase and site approval.
What are the key differences when buying Acrow props in Ireland versus the UK or Australia?
Confirm the offered model and its load table rather than transferring a size label across markets. Check the applicable product conformity route; an EN 1065 reference alone does not establish a CE/DoP obligation. Revenue lists the 2026 Irish standard VAT rate as 23%, but treatment depends on the transaction. Construction-services reverse charge is not automatic for a goods purchase. NI–Ireland goods trade follows intra-Community rules; GB imports have a separate customs and import-VAT route. See the Ireland evidence section for sources and limits.
What does "acrow props price" mean on this page?
On this page it means a public online sample, not a delivered project quote. Many searchers use "acrow prop price" or "acrow props price" as shorthand for one visible benchmark, and many others mean "1 acrow props price" for a single size-1 prop. The calculator starts with that likely reading, then tells you when to switch to email.
How should I use this page if I searched for "acrow prop for sale"?
Use the same canonical page and treat "acrow prop for sale" as the same buy-intent alias cluster as "acrow prop buy" and "acrow props". Reliable reviewed sources on 18 April 2026 still organize supply by size number and extension range, not by a separate "acrow prop for sale" product family. Start in the tool with market, size, and quantity, then confirm extension range, WLL assumptions, and delivery scope before treating any public shelf number as buy-ready.
Does the public price include GST, VAT, freight, and accessories?
Not reliably. Some pages explicitly say GST is included, while UK merchant tax handling can vary by the page or checkout view. Freight, accessories, and project engineering are also usually outside the headline shelf price.
Can I compare an AU acrow prop shelf price directly with a UK shelf price?
Not directly. Rechecked on 6 May 2026, ACCC guidance says consumer-facing single prices should include taxes and unavoidable fees, while business-only displays can exclude GST if that scope is clear. ABF says import GST is currently 10% on a taxable-import base that includes customs value, customs duty, and transport/insurance. GOV.UK also says import VAT can include goods value, shipping/insurance, and customs duty. So AU and UK shelf prices are orientation signals only until tax mode, duty basis, and landed-cost components are normalized for the same transaction type.
When is the calculator enough, and when should I email instead?
Use the public shelf sample when you need a quick buying benchmark in Australia or the UK. Use email when you need export freight, accessories, special heads, higher quantities, or a site-specific temporary works review.
What details make the first quote email faster?
Send the delivery market, size number, required closed/open range, quantity, whether you need heads or pins, and whether the order must line up with an existing system. That removes most back-and-forth from the first reply.
Why does size 1 sometimes mean a different extension range?
Not always. The official Acrow manual lists No. 1 at 1600mm to 2800mm, while some public merchant pages label size 1 closer to 1750mm to 3120mm. Match the closed and open range before using a price.
How much load can an official Acrow No. 1 prop take?
The official Acrow Issue C manual lists No. 1 at 34.0kN at minimum extension and 13.0kN at maximum extension. That drop is exactly why price should never be read without range and load context.
Can I use the online price to decide prop spacing or quantity?
HSE says prop type, size, number, and spacing depend on the loads acting on the props. The official manual also says the guide does not replace review by a qualified temporary works designer.
Which conditions can invalidate the official Acrow working load table?
Only inside the manual assumptions. The Acrow Issue C manual limits off-plumb to height / 200, caps eccentricity at 25mm, requires the original high-tensile prop pin, and assumes centred loading and stable support. If those conditions are not under control, the WLL table is no longer a safe shortcut.
What should a second-hand seller provide before I compare price?
Before you compare a second-hand price, ask for the condition and fault notice, the safe-use information, and any available prior-owner records. Safe Work Australia's current plant code expects that trail when second-hand plant is supplied for work use, and HSE says second-hand equipment for use at work cannot simply be sold "as seen" to avoid safety duties. If that paperwork is missing, keep the lot in inspection-first review instead of treating it like a clean merchant SKU.
What public data is still missing or unconfirmed here?
Six gaps remain explicit on this page: no reliable public Beenleigh postcode stock/delivery benchmark, no reliable public Brendale-specific stock benchmark, no reliable public Townsville postcode stock/delivery benchmark, no reliable public export-freight benchmark, no normalized public hire-rate ladder, and no stable AU accessory bundle sample across reviewed merchants. Where public evidence stops, the page tells you to move into quote mode instead of pretending the number is complete.
More size, delivery and verification questions
What are the key delivery and site considerations for Acrow props in Kent?
Check live M20 Operation Brock information, the actual Dartford route and site access with the haulier. ME/CT/TN/DA are postcode examples, not guaranteed delivery coverage. Bearing and restraint require the project design; this page establishes no safe ground pressure or universal sole-plate size. The hire/buy chart uses hypothetical prices and has a 4.67-week crossover only under those assumptions. Obtain comparable written quotes before deciding.
Are Acrow prop sizes standardized globally?
The traditional "Size 0 to Size 4" naming refers to extension length ranges (e.g. Size 1 covers approx 1.75m to 3.12m), but it is not a complete structural standard. The European standard BS EN 1065 (currently listed by BSI as Current, Under Review) classifies props by load-bearing capacity (Classes A, B, C, D, E). This means two props both labeled "Size 2" can have very different load capacities at max extension depending on whether they meet Class B, C, or D requirements. Always check the manufacturer's load capacity table for the specific model before assuming equivalence.
What are the exact dimensions of an Acrow prop tube?
Classic Acrow props typically use a 60.3mm outer tube and a 48.3mm inner tube, allowing standard scaffold fittings to attach to the inner tube. However, because standards like BS EN 1065 focus on structural performance (buckling resistance and load capacity) rather than fixed geometry, manufacturers can vary the wall thickness (e.g., 3.2mm, 3.6mm, 4.0mm) or use different high-tensile steel grades to achieve the required strength class. Therefore, matching tube diameter does not prove identical Safe Working Load (SWL).
If I searched for "acrow prop dimensions", which dimensions are decision-grade before ordering?
Send a minimum four-part dimension set: 1) required closed and open height in mm, 2) target size number or current prop tag, 3) which dimension is being discussed (tube OD, adjustment hole/pin, or plate geometry), and 4) load case context. Official geometry uses 152.5mm hole centres plus 300mm rolled-thread take-up, and reviewed UK listings also publish 150 x 150 x 6mm plate details with a 38mm centre hole. Without that context, a raw "acrow prop dimensions" note can still map to the wrong procurement decision.
Can a painted or modified acrow prop use the same WLL as the galvanized table?
Not automatically. The Acrow Issue C manual says the published working-load tables apply to props made from gal tube plus or hot dipped galvanized tubes only, and it says painted props should be referred to Acrow Engineering. If the used prop is painted, modified, or fitted with substitute pins, do not carry the standard galvanized-table WLL over without another review step.
When does an acrow prop job move into SWMS-required high-risk construction work in Australia?
Treat it as high-risk construction work when the job involves structural alteration or repair that needs temporary support to prevent collapse. Model WHS Regulation 291 sets that trigger, and Regulations 299 and 300 require SWMS before work starts and require the work to follow SWMS while active. The November 2024 Safe Work Australia construction code gives a direct prop example (supporting a ceiling while a load-bearing wall is removed). If work drifts off SWMS, it must stop (or stop as soon as safe) and only resume once controls are restored.
Can I treat "acrow props capacity" as buy-ready if certification will be provided later?
No. Rechecked on 7 April 2026, SafeWork NSW says certification should not be forward dated or conditional, and for normal situations should be by a competent person not more than 48 hours before concrete pour. NSW guidance also expects a site-specific design safety report from the designer. If those artefacts are missing, keep "acrow props capacity" in pending-confirmation mode and do not treat the result as execution-ready.
Is appointing a "Temporary Works Coordinator" legally mandatory in the UK?
HSE temporary works FAQ (updated 11 March 2026) says there is no legal requirement to use that exact title or the BS-recommended process. The legal duty is still to allocate and control temporary works so unacceptable risk is not created. So title choice is flexible, but role ownership and checking responsibilities are not optional.
Can standard scaffold restrain an unstable structure during demolition or alteration?
Do not treat standard scaffold as a restraint fix. HSE structural stability guidance (updated 30 October 2024) says standard scaffold will not restrain an unsafe structure during demolition or alteration. That scenario needs specialist temporary works design and controlled support methods (for example raking/dead shores), not a price-led prop swap.
Can I convert a public size-3 tonne note and treat it as the same as the official No. 3 kN table?
Not directly. The official Acrow table is in kN and the same guide says 1kN is a little over 102kg, while a reviewed AU size-3 page uses a public tonne note ("2.2T to 2.9T (open-close) on the public page") and the reviewed UK size-3 page shows range and price without a normalized load class. Even where you convert units, the test/setup basis is not automatically equivalent. Keep the result in "needs confirmation" mode until the supplier or engineer confirms the exact class/test basis for the prop being sold.
Does a public UK size-3 standards tag make it equivalent to official Acrow No. 3?
Not automatically. The Acrow Issue C manual says Acrow props are tested and certified to AS3610 and warns that mixing systems can create performance issues unless design-checked. The reviewed UK size-3 listing currently publishes range/price and standards text such as BS4074:1982 and BS5507-3:1982, while BSI lists BS EN 1065 as current under review. Until the supplier gives class/test evidence for the exact listing, keep cross-brand equivalence as confirmation-required.
Can I calculate the exact WLL for a 4.00m prop from the public table on this page?
Not from the public table alone. Rechecked on 28 April 2026, the official Acrow manual still publishes end-point WLL values for No. 3 and No. 4 but warns buyers not to interpolate WLL at other extensions. The reviewed AU size-3 and size-4 shelf pages also show that moving into the longer family changes published holding capacity rather than proving a safe design number at exactly 4.00m. If the decision depends on exact 4m capacity, send the open height, load, end-fixity, and bracing context into direct quote or engineering review.
What should I confirm before arranging Brendale pickup or nearby delivery?
Start by locking the geometry, then move into the logistics. The official transport table lists Acrow No. 00 at 10kg per prop and 40 per stillage (400kg total), while No. 0 is 13kg per prop and 40 per stillage (520kg total). Acrow also says matching lengths only should be packed per stillage and secured with at least two straps, and the NTC light-vehicle guide says anything that needs two people to lift onto the vehicle also needs to be tied down. Reliable public Brendale-specific stock and pickup windows remain unconfirmed, so include the suburb, vehicle, and unload constraints in the quote brief.
What if the required support height is between 1000mm and 1050mm?
Treat 1000mm to 1050mm as a direct-check band, not as a casual shelf pick. Official No. 00 stops at 1000mm and official No. 0 starts at 1050mm, while the reviewed AU public size-0 pages start later again at 1070mm. If your requirement sits in or near that transition, send the exact closed and open range instead of choosing the nearest public size label.
Why is No. 00 handled through the 1m shortcut instead of the main selector?
Because the main calculator is normalized around the widely visible AU and UK public ladders, which are easiest to compare at size 0 to size 4. No. 00 is handled through the 1m shortcut and the evidence tables because reviewed public ladders do not present that short-prop boundary consistently across markets.
Does 130mm identify a standard acrow prop size in the reliable sources reviewed here?
No reliable AU or UK official or reviewed merchant source on 18 April 2026 used 130mm as the primary size class for the props covered here. The reliable sources on this page use size numbers and extension ranges. If 130mm is your internal shorthand or refers to a separate accessory dimension, say that explicitly in the quote email.
Is "1 acrow props" the same as one prop?
No. Searchers often mean a single unit, but size numbering is separate. A single size-1 prop and one prop of any size are different questions, so the tool asks you for the size number directly.
Why can the tax status of a public prop price still need confirmation?
Because public pages do not always normalize tax the same way. On 18 April 2026, Victoria Scaffolding page copy said "Price including GST" while the same page structured offer marked valueAddedTaxIncluded false, and The Metal Store showed both ex VAT and inc VAT values. Keep the tax mode attached to every number before you compare markets or suppliers.
What jobs are acrow props intended for?
The official manual says the use cases include falsework support, raking shores, and temporary support. It also says the prop cannot be used as a jack for lifting structures.
What installation details affect safe use most?
The manual calls out the original high-tensile prop pin to AS/NZS 1892, plumb installation within height/200, flat base plates, adequate bearing, and bracing for stability as critical. WorkSafe Queensland also warns that wrong pins, rebar used instead of pins, and side loads can reduce capacity or contribute to collapse. If any of those are unclear, use the quote path instead of relying on a shelf page.
Why are hire and rental prices not included?
The checker uses sale-price samples, not live hire rates. The Ireland report includes a labelled hire-versus-buy arithmetic illustration with assumed inputs; replace them with written supplier quotes before comparing options.
When should an acrow prop enquiry move into managed temporary works review?
Move beyond the checker as soon as you are deciding prop type, size, number, spacing, or any arrangement affected by side loads, bearing, or nearby works. HSE says those decisions need load information and competent temporary-works management, and that more than the simplest cases usually need calculations, checking, and inspection.
What if I need a quote for another market or export job?
Use the boundary path in the tool. Public AU and UK shelf samples are useful benchmarks, but export projects often need freight, packing, and compliance context that public product pages do not price cleanly.
Does the official Acrow system include a No. 00 prop?
Yes. The Acrow Issue C manual lists a No. 00 prop at 720mm to 1000mm, and Victoria Scaffolding currently publishes a size-00 page at AUD63.89 including GST. This page keeps the tool normalized around the more widely comparable No. 0 to No. 4 public ladder and calls out No. 00 as a boundary case.
How much can accessories move a UK size-1 public price?
On the reviewed UK public source, a size-1 base prop is GBP 32.00 ex VAT, while pin and chain are GBP2.22 ex VAT and collar and handle are GBP6.30 ex VAT. That pair alone lifts the example basket by about 27% before delivery, and a coupler increases it further.
How should I use this page if I searched for "acrow props for sale ebay"?
Use the same canonical page and treat "acrow props for sale ebay" as a marketplace-listing alias inside the "acrow props" cluster, not as a separate route or separate product family. Rechecked on 28 October 2026, the eBay Australia Money Back Guarantee policy page is effective from 12 May 2026, the overview excludes heavy machinery from covered purchase types, and the full policy remains eligibility- and timing-dependent, while ACCC marketplace guidance keeps consumer guarantees mainly tied to the seller and flags private-seller or traditional-auction limits. Safe Work Australia falsework guidance PDF text dated July 2014 still leaves construction-use decisions with size, range, condition, records, and temporary-works controls. Start in the tool with market, size, and quantity, then use the eBay shortcut or report card to ask for listing URL, seller type, photos, dimensions, condition disclosure, pin/accessory scope, tax/postage basis, and inspection or safe-use records before treating the listing as buy-ready.
How should I use this page if I searched for "acrow props for sale gumtree"?
Use the same canonical page and treat "acrow props for sale gumtree" or "acrow props for sale on gumtree" as a marketplace-listing alias inside the "acrow props" cluster, not as a separate route. Rechecked on 28 October 2026, Gumtree operates primarily as a classifieds board, meaning transactions and guarantees are strictly between you and the seller. ACCC marketplace guidance indicates consumer guarantees often do not apply to private sales. Safe Work Australia falsework guidance still leaves construction-use decisions with size, range, condition, records, and temporary-works controls. Start in the tool with market, size, and quantity, then ask the Gumtree seller for listing URL, seller type (business or private), photos, dimensions, condition disclosure, pin/accessory scope, tax/postage basis, and any inspection or safe-use records before treating the listing as buy-ready.
How should I use this page if I searched for "acrow prop price"?
Use this same canonical page. Treat "acrow prop price" as the same alias cluster as "acrow props" and "acrow props price", then lock market, size number, and quantity in the tool before treating any public shelf number as buy-ready. If freight, accessories, stock condition, or temporary-works checks matter, move to the email CTA with those details.
How should I use this page if I searched for "acrow props capacity uk"?
Use the same canonical page and map "acrow props capacity uk" into the same No. 3 evidence path as "acrow prop 3 capacity", "acrow prop capacity", "acrow prop capacity uk", "acrow props capacity", "acrow prop load capacity", "acrow prop weight capacity", and "acrow prop axial capacity". Official Acrow No. 3 still runs 2.17m to 3.98m, and the published WLL still drops from 35.8kN to 7.7kN across extension. The reviewed UK size-3 page remains range-and-price first without a normalized load class on-page, while the AU size-3 page uses "2.2T to 2.9T (open-close) on the public page" as a public note. So lock open height, extension point, load case, and class/test basis before treating any one public value as buy-ready.
Conversion layer
Use the tool to frame the question, then email the exact brief while the size and range are still fresh.
Acrow prop pricing gets cleaner when the first email locks the market, size number, closed and open range, quantity, and any accessory or freight scope.
Include these details
- Market: Australia, UK, or another export destination
- Size number plus the closed and open range you actually need
- Quantity and whether the requirement is one-off replacement or batch supply
- Whether the stock is new, mixed-yard, or second-hand, plus photos, condition notes, and any available records
- Any heads, pins, or accessories required with the props
- Pickup or delivery suburb plus vehicle or unload constraints if the job is local, or regional/export route details (for example Beenleigh, Townsville, Hobart, Brendale, Cardiff, Kent, Glasgow, Dublin, Ireland nationwide, or Lagos)
- Whether supply needs to be loose, banded, or stillaged
- Whether the order must align with an existing temporary works setup
