Positive Hire specialise in Temporary Prop and Brace Hire for the support of
Pre-cast and Tilt Up Concrete Panels.
Props & Braces
A prop is something that sits under a load.
A brace is something that sits adjacent to a load and supports it at an angle.
Props are also known as:
- Braces
- Push Pull Props
- Panel Braces
- Telescopic Braces
Push Pull Props
Push Pull Props to support Pre-cast and Tilt Up Panels in various sizes ranging in length from 1m closed to 14.5m fully extended.
The rating of props can be increased by 50% with the use of knee braces which we can also supply – but it is easier and more efficient to use a larger prop size when possible.
