Telescopic stand for formwork

Telescopic Props for Slab Formwork – Full Size Range

A telescopic prop is an adjustable metal support designed to hold concrete formwork during pouring and curing. It ensures structural stability and distributes loads across temporary supporting elements. This equipment is widely used in the construction of residential and commercial buildings, bridges, industrial facilities, and any structures involving concrete slabs.

Design Features 

A telescopic prop consists of an outer and an inner steel tube that slide into each other, allowing the height of the prop to be adjusted. Both ends are equipped with base plates or support feet for stable positioning on the floor and formwork surface. Height adjustment is carried out using a threaded mechanism or a locking collar. This design ensures precise height setting and reliable load-bearing capacity of several tons.

The main components of a telescopic prop include:

• Outer and inner tubes made of high-strength steel, often coated to prevent corrosion.
• Threaded adjustment mechanism, enabling accurate height regulation.
• Base plates / support feet, providing upper and lower pressure distribution.
• Locking collar or pin, securing the selected height and preventing rotation under load.
• Telescopic sliding design, allowing smooth height adjustment without the need for multiple tube lengths.

Available Sizes

Telescopic props for formwork are manufactured in a wide range of sizes suitable for various construction tasks:

• Minimum height: 1.7–2.0 m
• Maximum height: 3.5–5.0 m
• Tube diameter: outer 48–60 mm, inner 38–50 mm
• Height adjustment range: 30–150 cm (depending on the model)
• Load capacity: 2 to 10 tons

The choice of size depends on slab height, concrete weight, and type of formwork used.

Application

Telescopic props are used to support horizontal slabs, beams, floor plates, as well as vertical walls and columns. Adjustable height makes it possible to install formwork on uneven surfaces and align both horizontal and vertical elements accurately. Props are compatible with wooden, plywood, and metal formwork systems. Their use increases structural stability, prevents deformation, and speeds up installation.

This equipment is an essential part of modern construction. Choosing the correct prop size and following proper installation procedures ensures safety and high-quality results, while also saving time and reducing material costs.
