WTB Acrow Props (Surrey/Hants)

[Vortex]

Hi,

I'm looking to purchase 3 or 4 "Number 1" Acrow props for a forthcoming project involving some pretty heavy duty roof support.

Can anyone recommend an internet merchant who can sell me some?

If you do find a supplier, David, please post it here because I've been looking as well. I can find plenty of hire firms but no one selling.

I presume you have tried ringing the comapny at

I got mine off EBay, but they are rare to find there.

After a couple of calls I just found

who seem to have offices all over the place though I'd never heard of them before today.

£23.95 (ex VAT) to buy.

I think the purchase versus rental decision is a "no brainer". Job done.

Cheers mate. The machine mart ones also seem decent value. I'm going to need mine for a while and in future work so it's definitely worthwhile buying for me.

I bought mine from a hire firm (Wright Hire in Marple). Many of the small hire companies will happily do this though obviously the chains aren't always set up to do likewise.

============== These props being rather heavy have an extra use. I use mine ( the top part without thread) as a tamper whenever I need to consolidate soil or sand before paving / slabbing etc. It saves the cost of a proper tamper and does the prop no harm.
