For structural engineers and specifiers of safety equipment, this approved guidance is a game-changer. It means you can rely on Prop Pal Plus for building extensions and knock-throughs with confidence, knowing that it meets the highest safety standards. This not only enhances the safety of your projects but also streamlines the selection process for robust and reliable equipment, ensuring efficiency and peace of mind.
With Prop Pal Plus, you’re not just getting a product; you’re investing in the future of safe and efficient construction. As a structural engineer or technical specifier, you understand the importance of choosing the right equipment to ensure safety, efficiency, and integrity in construction projects. Our products, Prop Pal and Prop Pal Plus, are designed to meet these stringent requirements and exceed your expectations.
Why Choose Prop Pal Needles?
Prop Pal products are the only needle support tools in the UK that offer 100% support for both the inner and outer leaf walls during structural alterations. This comprehensive support is crucial for maintaining the structural integrity of buildings during knock-throughs and other significant modifications. Anything less than 100% support compromises the structure, posing serious safety risks.
Key Features and Benefits
1. Weight-Bearing Capacity – Our Prop Pal products are manufactured from S275 Structural Steel and certified to handle a safe working load of 1050kg. This ensures they can support substantial weights, making them ideal for both domestic and small commercial projects.
2. Safety – Prop Pal needles are CE marked, meeting the highest safety standards in the industry. Their secure fastening to internal floors and the inclusion of locking slots on both ends provide maximum stability and security during use.
3. Ease of Use – Designed for ease of installation and use, Prop Pal needles are user-friendly, reducing downtime and labour costs. Their robust yet lightweight design makes them easy to handle and position, ensuring efficient and effective project completion.
