Quick Fit Checklist Before You Choose
Use this checklist to confirm the right propping setup before committing to equipment. Start by checking the required load and the vertical height range for the job. Verify the surface where the base plate will sit, ensuring it’s firm and level to support even weight transfer. Confirm that the working Acro Props area allows safe access for installation and adjustment, and that the planned bracing method aligns with your site safety plan. Finally, inspect packaging and labels to confirm you receive the correct product type and that all components are present before use.
Site Preparation Checklist for Safe, Accurate Propping
Before installation, confirm the work area is controlled and that only trained personnel handle setup. Ensure any loose debris is removed so the base sits flat and stable. Plan the placement so the prop line maintains consistent spacing and avoids obstructions like services, openings, or uneven ground pockets. Where a base plate Steel Tube is used, check that it fully contacts the supporting surface. For height adjustments, plan access to the adjustment mechanism so users can set the required level without awkward handling. If conditions require additional protection measures, apply them before propping is put under load.
Equipment Inspection Checklist for Components
Prioritise a thorough equipment check to support safe performance. Inspect every prop component for straightness, surface damage, corrosion, or dents, especially around connection points. Confirm that any locking features engage securely and hold position under movement-free conditions. Check that adjustment action is smooth and that threads or contact surfaces are clean and properly aligned. Verify fittings, plates, and any accessories are undamaged and correctly matched to the prop system. Document defects immediately and remove damaged units from service rather than attempting repairs on-site.
