Strongboy Hire | Wall Support Acrow Prop Attachment

Strongboy Hire | Wall Support Acrow Prop Attachment

Looking for a safe, reliable way to support brickwork while installing a steel beam or lintel? Rent our industry-standard Strongboy wall supports today. Designed to slot directly onto the top plate of a standard Size 0 or Size 2 Acrow prop, these heavy-duty masonry supports are the ultimate tool for handling structural wall knock-throughs safely.

Commonly referred to in the trade as Strong Boys, these attachments slide easily into a single raked mortar joint or a small hole drilled into the masonry. This allows you to support the upper brickwork from just one side of the wall, keeping your working area completely clear to safely knock out the lower brickwork and install your RSJ steel beam.

Perfect for builders, bricklayers, and DIY renovators undertaking structural alterations, wall removals, or lintel replacements.

Key Features & Benefits

• Single-Sided Support: Eliminates the need for traditional through-the-wall "needling," leaving one side of the room completely unobstructed for easy steel beam installation.
• Heavy-Duty Solid Steel Construction: Manufactured from high-tensile, zinc-plated structural steel to resist bending under immense overhead masonry loads.
• Standard Acrow Compatibility: Slides effortlessly and securely over the top plate of standard Size 0, 1, or 2 adjustable steel support props.
• Deep Reach Design: Blade extends into the mortar joint to provide maximum surface contact and stability for double-skin brick walls.
• Enhanced Site Safety: Keeps overhead brickwork structurally sound and prevents loose masonry from slipping while structural openings are formed.
