Heavy-duty high load application

Acrow Powershore 30 is a high load shoring system that provides a fast, efficient and versatile falsework structure. The simplicity of the coupling of strong vertical Standards joined together by truss type horizontal bracing frames enables towers to be easily and safely erected.

Corner braces are attached at apposing corners and alternated between each level to maintain squareness and rigidity during crane handling of the tower throughout its height. Adjustable bases at the bottom of the tower and adjustable bases with U-head attachments at the top of the tower provide infinite height adjustment.

The built in strength of each individual galvanised component contributes to construction of a support tower capable of supporting a leg loads in excess of 300kN based on tower and bracing frame configuration.

The Acrow Powershore 150 is a heavy-duty high load propping and shoring system designed to withstand up to 150 tonne shoring loads per vertical member. The flexible Acrow Powershore 150 is primarily used to create temporary stand-alone frames and raking strut structures for the mining, infrastructure, and commercial industries.
The heavy-duty system is also more versatile for propping high structures as the tower takes large lateral forces. The Powershore 150 components can also be used as a horizontal beam, removing the need to use steel beams. The built-in strength of each individual Powershore 150 galvanised component contributes to construction of a support tower capable of supporting loads in excess of 6000kN.
