Propping equipment plays a critical role in temporary works across the construction industry in Australia, providing safe, strength load-bearing capacity for structural support during building, demolition and modification works. As a versatile temporary Propping system, it is commonly used for falsework, underpinning, retention, and tilt-up construction where stability and engineered support are essential.

Learn more about our Propping equipment in our FAQ section below.

What is the difference between Propping and shoring?

Propping refers to a high strength load-bearing temporary works system used in building construction, such as falsework, retention, and tilt-up support. Shoring is a broader term that may also include excavation and ground retention systems. Propping is typically focused on structural support above ground.

How is load-bearing capacity and WLL determined?

Load-bearing capacity and WLL (Work Load Limit) are determined by system configuration, height, bracing, and engineering design. All Propping systems must be assessed by a team of experts and certified by a qualified engineer to ensure safe performance under load.

Can Propping systems be used with shoring in construction projects?

Yes. In some engineered temporary work designs, Propping systems may be used alongside shoring components depending on site requirements. This can include systems such as king post assemblies or hydraulic bracing, where specified by a qualified engineer as part of a broader structural support design.

For example, during basement construction or facade retention, a Propping system may be used to support internal floor loads while a king post shoring system and hydraulic bracing are installed to retain surrounding excavation walls. This combination ensures both vertical load-bearing support and lateral ground retention are managed safely within the same temporary works design.
