Boards & Support Props: Reliable Site Support from Brandon Hire Station

Construction and renovation projects demand robust temporary support systems to ensure the safety, stability, and efficiency of work on site. At Brandon Hire Station, we supply a wide range of high-quality Boards & Support Props that cater to the needs of trades people, contractors, and engineers nationwide. From vertical propping to trench support and elevated work platforms, our solutions are trusted across the UK for their performance, compliance, and ease of use.

Adjustable Steel Props

Our range of Adjustable Steel Props (Acrow Props) are an essential component for supporting structures during construction. These props are made from heavy-duty steel and come in a variety of sizes (Size 0–4) to suit various working heights. Key uses include:

Supporting ceilings, floors, or beams during alterations
Temporary structural support during demolition or refurbishment
Load-bearing applications in both residential and commercial settings

Each prop features a simple yet effective screw mechanism for easy height adjustment and is fully compliant with UK safety regulations.

Strongboy Wall Supports

Strongboy Wall Supports attach securely to steel props and allow masonry walls to be supported when creating openings, such as doorways or windows. Ideal for use in extensions and renovations, Strongboys reduce the need for additional structural frameworks and allow trades people to work with greater flexibility and confidence.

Prop Pal Needle Systems

The innovative Prop Pal Needle System offers a modern, safer alternative to traditional steel needles. Designed for larger openings in load-bearing walls, it enables better load distribution and reduces the time and labour involved in setup. Key features include:

Integrated support channels for stability
Enhanced safety compared to traditional needles
Seamless compatibility with Acrow Props

The Prop Pal system is widely used in structural alterations, especially where precision and reliability are critical.

Trench Struts

Supporting excavation work safely is just as important as supporting structures above ground. Our range of Trench Struts is designed to provide lateral support for trench walls, preventing collapse during below-ground work such as pipe laying or foundation repairs. Features of our trench struts include:

Heavy-duty construction for high-pressure environments
Adjustable lengths to suit various trench widths
Easy installation with strong end plates for secure bearing

Available in a range of sizes, these struts are vital for maintaining safe excavation conditions in line with industry regulations.

Lightweight Staging Boards

For elevated working platforms, Brandon Hire Station supplies Lightweight Staging Boards built from high-strength aluminium. These boards are easy to carry and install, yet tough enough to handle demanding site conditions. Benefits include:

Non-slip surface for added safety
Multiple lengths
Ideal for use with trestles

Perfect for painting, plastering, maintenance, and general access jobs, these boards offer a flexible and lightweight working platform.

Builders’ Trestles & Scaffold Boards

We also offer Builders’ Trestles and Scaffold Boards for quick assembly of work platforms at low to mid-level heights. Our scaffold boards are made from treated timber and comply with BS 2482 standards, while the trestles are adjustable, durable, and designed to work seamlessly with both timber and staging boards.
