Steel Shore

Steel Shore - Heavy-Duty Adjustable Shoring System for Construction Support

Shandong Xingrui Building Materials Co., Ltd. manufactures Steel Shore systems engineered from Q235 premium-grade steel, designed to deliver reliable vertical support in formwork and structural reinforcement applications. Our telescopic single-pipe steel props include a pipe diameter of 48mm and an adjustable height ranging from 1.8 to 3.2 meters, capable of withstanding compression stresses exceeding 30kN. We have 180 expert specialists, standardised workshops of over 40,000 square meters, 12 welding robots and 6 automated welding lines to assure the consistency of weld integrity and dimensional precision. All units are hot dip galvanised or electrostatic powder coated for corrosion resistance and certified to ISO 9001 quality standards. With our manufacturing capabilities, we are able to handle big volume orders for worldwide building projects that need robust and reusable shoring.

What Is a Steel Shore and Why Choose Ours?

This device is a telescoping upright post for supporting temporary loads while pouring concrete or installing slabs or making repairs to structures. Unlike wood alternatives, our steel supports do not bend or distort under prolonged pressure.

We also do ultrasonic weld testing and precise threading as part of our production process for secure load distribution. The 300mm adjustable screw permits micro-adjustments on uneven terrain and reduces the set-up time by around 40% over fixed length supports.

You obtain a product that blends the strength of material with the flexibility of operation. Surface treatment with rust-proof can reach service life more than 8 years in normal outdoor conditions.

Key Advantages of Our Shoring System

Superior Material Engineering

We source Q235 steel with certified mill test reports showing tensile strength above 370 MPa. This ensures structural stability even when props are extended to maximum height.

Anti-Corrosion Surface Protection

Hot-dip galvanization applies a zinc coating thickness exceeding 60 microns. This protects against oxidation in coastal or high-humidity job sites where traditional painted surfaces fail within months.

Modular Compatibility

Our props work seamlessly with U-head jacks for formwork support or square base plates for ground-level stabilization. You can configure systems for varied load requirements without purchasing separate equipment.

Rapid Deployment Design

The single-tube telescopic structure requires no specialized tools for height adjustment. Workers turn the threaded collar by hand, reducing installation time and labor costs on multi-story projects.

Reusability for Cost Efficiency

Built to endure 200+ use cycles when maintained properly, our Steel Shore units lower your per-project support costs compared to disposable wooden beams. Simple cleaning and lubrication restore full functionality between jobs.

Primary Applications in Construction

Concrete Slab Formwork Support

Position props at calculated intervals under formwork panels to carry wet concrete loads during curing. The adjustable height compensates for ground irregularities, maintaining level surfaces critical for structural integrity.

Floor Reinforcement During Renovation

When removing load-bearing walls, use our shoring systems to transfer vertical loads temporarily. This prevents ceiling collapse while permanent steel beams are installed and secured.

Temporary Load-Bearing in Excavation

Install props horizontally with swivel base plates to brace trench walls in unstable soil. The high axial load capacity resists lateral earth pressure during utility installations or foundation work.

Bridge Falsework and Precast Placement

Support heavy concrete segments or steel girders during bridge deck assembly. Our props handle concentrated loads while allowing precise elevation adjustments as components settle into final positions.

Quality Control Process

Every Steel Shore undergoes four-stage inspection before leaving our 79,800-square-meter facility:

Weld Integrity Verification: Automated ultrasonic testing detects internal flaws in tube joints. We reject units showing defects exceeding 2mm to prevent catastrophic failure under load.

Dimensional Tolerance Checks: CNC-controlled measurement ensures tube straightness within ±1mm per meter. This prevents eccentric loading that reduces effective compression strength.

Load Testing Protocol: Random samples from each production batch are compressed to 150% of rated capacity. We document deformation characteristics to validate safety factors meet international standards.

Surface Coating Analysis: X-ray fluorescence testing confirms zinc coating thickness. Only props with uniform coverage above specified micron levels pass final inspection.

Packaging and Global Delivery

We bundle props in protective steel frames with foam corner guards to prevent transit damage. Standard containers hold 800–1,200 units depending on size. Our Rizhao seaport location enables direct shipping to over 100 countries with lead times averaging 18–25 days.

FAQ

Q：How does extension length impact load capacity?

A：Load capacity decreases as the prop extends due to increased buckling risk. At 1.8m height, our props support 30kN; at 3.2m, this reduces to approximately 20kN. Always consult our load chart for specific configurations.

Q：What maintenance extends prop lifespan?

A：Clean threads after each use and apply industrial grease every 3-4 cycles. Inspect locking pins for wear and replace if engagement feels loose. Store props horizontally in dry conditions to prevent thread corrosion.

Q：Can these props handle horizontal bracing?

A：Yes, when equipped with swivel base plates rated for lateral loads. Ensure shear forces on locking pins stay within calculated limits based on soil resistance and trench depth.

Q：What certifications verify product quality?

A：We provide Material Mill Test Certificates for steel composition, ISO 9001 quality system documentation, and third-party load test reports. Each shipment includes calibration data traceable to production batches.

Q：Are custom specifications available?

A：Our engineering team develops the product props matching your drawings for specialized applications. Minimum order quantities apply for non-standard pipe diameters or extension ranges.
