Why Prop Pal?
For years, quality builders have had no choice but to work unprofessionally with the traditional unsafe makeshift methods of Strongboys and RSJ / box section needling for creating open plan living. It’s caused a lot of stress, mess and many sleepless nights (before we even mention the homes that have come crashing down) because it’s never been safe, easy or secure.
The mission of Prop Pal is to allow builders to work professionally and set standards, particularly when it comes to domestic structural alterations. Helping quality builders give themselves and the trade a better name with our products is at the core.
Prop Pal products make the job safe, easy and secure - the key elements - for builders to work professionally on domestic and small commercial structural alterations.
No more sleepless nights! The Prop Pal Needle Systems provides the professional solution. The only needle support tools in the UK that supports 100% of BOTH the inner and outer leaf walls – vital to maintain structural integrity during structural alterations. Anything less than 100% support of both skins during a knock through and structural integrity is lost (all quality builders should have this knowledge). As an added bonus, Prop Pal makes the job a whole lot easier.
Builders throughout the UK are now moving away from the messy, unsafe traditional methods to the only professional method, the Prop Pal method, now that it’s available nationwide to buy or hire.
Safe
Prop Pal products are all awarded with safe working load certification, CE marks and product liability insurance.
Easy
The designs of the products have been thought out by a builder with over 30 years experience to make the job as easy and efficient as possible. Those working on the job are most important to Prop Pal.
Secure
Without security, a product wouldn’t be safe. Prop Pal makes sure that the products can be properly secured to other equipment and materials where needed.

The Prop Pal Needle System
Forget old fashioned wall support methods
Unlike conventional and unsafe methods used in the building trade to date, the Prop Pal Needle is designed so that a builder’s prop location into the needle is locked in position once it has been wound up.
At the other end the swivel plate has 4 holes where it can be fixed to the floorboards, securing it in position.
AND…Dual Application: The Prop Pal method (using the jacking screw plate) OR as a standard needle support (click here to see how to remove jacking screw plate from the main body).
Proof tested to 1050kg load
The Prop Pal Needle is manufactured from S275 Structural Steel and has been proof tested to a safe load capacity of 1050kg.
To achieve this capacity means that it was given 25% of the proof testing capacity of 4200kg. So, a safe load of 1050kg is well within its capability. However, the safe working load should not be exceeded.
The old models of Prop Pal were given 1500kg (50% of 3000kg) so technically the new model MK3 PP1200 is far superior in strength but to comply with current regulations of 25% it has been certified with 1050kg.
Installation is quick and easy
- Minimal disturbance to flooring and ceiling when using the jacking screw plate
- Length 1200mm creating more space for working around and installing steel beams
- Acrow prop can slot in at both ends of the needle for extra security and stability
- Dimensions of the needle (w: 170mm and d: 60mm) allows for Prop Pal needles to fit easily through the size of one brick – SWL 1050kg and made from S275 Structural Steel with coated rust-resistant components for greater durability and strength.
