Heavy Duty Push / Pull Raking Shore Props

Heavy duty Horizontal or Raking Shore props can be provided by using standard Super Slim Soldiers with the use of adjustable screw jacks and fixing plates attached to each end of the Soldier.

The use of both left and right handed screw jacks turns the Soldier into a large turnbuckle allowing the soldier to be rotated to provide the length adjustment. If rotation of the soldier is not possible we also have an Adjustable Base Jack that can be adjusted by the use of a nut and collar.  The Left and Right Screws are colour coded for ease of identification.

The allowable load on a Heavy Duty Raking Shore Push / Pull prop is dictated by the angle of the prop to the horizontal load and by the method of end connections.

The connection of the Tilt Plates to the foundations or wall fixing should be checked to ensure that the SWL load capacity of the fixing used matches the required Raking prop load.

The allowable load table
With the use of Tilt Head connections it is recommended that the maximum load capacity of the prop should be reduced to 65 KN maximum.

PROP LOAD RELATED TO ANGLE OF RAKE

Values falling in the shaded area exceed the limiting value of 80 kN, for props up to 5.215m long. When using longer props check the safe load tables for the maximum safe working load.
