Propping

Mass 50

Our Mass range is one of the most versatile modular shoring and propping systems available on the UK market.

Our Mass 50 propping system has been designed with maximum flexibility in mind, and using a large range of off-the-shelf components, can be used to create individual shoring, brace towers, trusses and large, complex façade retention structures.

Our Mass 50 system

The Mass 50 system is made up of components which are compact enough to be manhandled if necessary. The robust design, from galvanized cold formed steel allows it to support loads of up to 600kN on a single leg. Projects can therefore be completed with fewer components thus saving on assembly time.

The Mass 50 system also has both mechanical and hydraulic capacity and can be supported with our real-time monitoring system.

If you’re working with a lower load capacity of less than 340kN, why not take a look at our other system within the Mass range – Mass 25.
