Telescopic Prop Sizes: 3–5 Metre Models

The current product range includes telescopic-prop classes of 3 m, 3.5 m, 4 m, 4.5 m and 5 m. The nominal product class is not the same as the exact closed and open working range, which varies by model.

Nominal Length vs Working Range

The product class identifies the general length category. Tube overlap, locking-hole positions and the adjustment mechanism determine the actual minimum and maximum working height.

What Determines the Correct Size?

The actual support height, top-head arrangement, formwork beams and bottom contact level all affect size selection. Choosing the longest prop is not automatically the best option for every project.

Load Capacity Is a Separate Technical Value

A 3 m or 5 m label does not by itself define load capacity. Tube size, wall thickness, extension and the complete support arrangement all matter.
