A simple efficient propping system designed specifically for

use in smaller needling and propping requirements.

10te Prop

Fittings

Applications

10te prop

9

The Mabey 10te prop is ideal for lighter needling and propping

requirements where the prop load is less than 100kN. Lighter than

an equivalent System 160 based prop, the 10te prop provides a

simple, easily constructed robust propping system.

System description

The Head Unit connects to the top of the vertical prop and by

fi tting the Connector Plate and Clamp Plates, a connection is

provided onto the horizontal Needle Beam. The Connector

Plate is free to move through 360º allowing the needle to be

located at any position on top of the prop. The washer N-002

does not clamp tight, but holds the Connector Plate captive

to the Head Unit. The Spacer, if required, is fi tted between the

prop and the jack.

Careful consideration must be given to

the lateral stability of the propping system

whilst under construction and in use.

S3/1-540 (System 160) prop units can

be fi tted between the Head Unit and

Connector Plate in order to connect

raking props, should they be required.

The maximum prop length under the

needle beams is 3215mm.

a) Needle Beams placed directly onto props and connected

using the Needle Beam Connector plate.

b) Alternatively, the Head Unit can be connected to a

horizontal Mk3 Prop Header Beam. The Needle Beam is

then positioned on the top of the Header Beam at 90° to it.

This arrangement allows the vertical props to be spaced at

greater centres than the Needle Beams.

System 160 prop units form the basis of this system. The unique design provides high load capacity in a compact

230mm x 180mm prop unit. Components are sized to allow

the system to be built by hand within existing structures

where required.

Note:1. When used in tension the Safe Working Load is 120kN.

2. Values assume that the load is applied concentrically along the centre of the prop ie no eccentricity.

3. For controlled situations where the loading is predictable a factor of safety of 1.7 may be used.

4. In horizontal applications, the capacity above may be used providing that the props are used with the soldier webs/lightening holes in the vertical plane.

5. Longer props can be braced to reduce the effective length and improve the capacity. Please refer to the System 160 Data Sheet.

6. All bolt joints require 6 no. S3/22 bolts.

7. Straightness requirement: When the prop is assembled, the maximum deviation from straight should be 2mm per metre length eg 10mm for a 5m prop. Should a prop fall outside this requirement, components should be checked for damage.

8. Limitations of End Fittings: Values may be limited by the type of end fittings used. In the absence of a standard end fitting, the load must be applied through a stiff surface such as a steel plate or uniform concrete surface.

9. Further information should be obtained from the product technical data sheets or Mabey Hire engineers.

Notes

1. The S3/10 is required in the vertical prop to make a connection

with another prop unit (as shown in the sketch above) add

2 x S3/05 Web Connectors and 2 x S3/21 bolts.

2. Alternative prop unit combinations may be used for the same

height ranges if the longer prop units are undesirable due to

handling considerations.

3. Depending on the working range required, the use of S3/1-540

prop units may be preferable.

4. It is important to avoid eccentric loading in the props. The

S3/09 Base Units and the S3/10 and S3/10A Head Units are

pinned about one axis only, so only crossfalls perpendicular to

the longitudinal axis of the pin are acceptable.

5. A kit assembly reference is given to assist in ordering the props.

The kit includes all parts and bolts necessary depending upon

the manner in which the prop is used.

Note: a kit assembly reference is given to assist in ordering the props. The kit includes all parts and bolts necessary depending upon the manner in which the prop is used. The kit assembly reference number must be followed by the A, B or C suffix i.e. a Type 9 Prop to support Mk2 Prop Units would be called off as S3/KP/9C.

S3/10 Use A - To prop Mk3 props S3/10A Use B - To prop vertical members other than props S3/10A Use C - To prop Mk2 props

Notes1. If the needle clamp assembly is required to enable attachment of the prop to

a beam, then add 10mm to the working ranges.

2. Alternative prop unit combinations may be used for the same height ranges if the longer prop units are undesirable due to handling considerations.

3. Depending on the working range required, the use of S3/1-540 prop units may be preferable.

4. It is important to avoid eccentric loading in the props. There should be no crossfall of the soffi t requiring propping in any direction. A crossfall at the base of the prop is acceptable in one direction provided it is accommodated by setting the base unit with the longitudinal axis of the pin perpendicular to the crossfall.

Mass 25 - properties Note:1. When used in tension the Safe Working Load is 150kN

for 4no bolts and 210kN for 6no bolts per joint.


3. Vertical prop values assume that the load is applied concentrically along the centre of the prop (i.e. no eccentricity). Horizontal prop values assume a 25mm eccentricity (vertical and self weight only). More comprehensive charts including values for eccentric loading are available in the technical data sheets.

4. For controlled situations where the loading is predictable, Factor of Safety of 1.7 may be used.

5. All bolt joints require a mimimum of 4 no. bolts.

6. Longer props can be braced to reduce the effective length and improve the capacity. Please refer to the Mass 25 Data Sheet.

Mass 25 - bracingThe Mass 25 system features standard angle, truss and frame

bracing that connects directly to the flanges of the prop units.

Using the standard bracing, trusses and towers can be built using

prop units as chords and verticals to provide efficient temporary

structures that can be delivered in component form and built be

hand within existing structures where necessary.

Angle braces (FA)Angle braces are used both horizontally and diagonally bolted to

the flanges of the prop units.

Truss braces (FB)Truss braces are fabricated from SHS and are used

to build Mass 25 trusses or towers using prop bodies as the

chord members.

Frame braces (FB)Frame braces are fabricated from RHS and are used as fast

efficient bracing to Mass 25 towers. The set lengths ensure that

the tower is kept square during construction.

Angle braces (TA)Mass 50 Angle Braces are fabricated from 70x70x8mm RSA’s

(Material Grade: S275 J0). All standard RSA’s are sized to

produce modular towers when fixed to Prop Webs with TF001

Web Bracing Cleats.

Truss braces (TB001-003)Truss braces are fabricated from 80x80x5mm

(Material Grade: S355 J2) and allow Mass 50 Props to be built

into trusses, these components allow 3 standard truss depths.

Frame braces (TB004-008)Frame braces are fabricated from eith SHS’s or RHS’s (Material

Grade: S355 J2) with 20mm thick end plates and allow Mass 50

Props to be built into frames to form towers. These components

MAT 125 - properties

Note:1. When used in tension the Safe Working is 165kN for 4no bolts and 580kN

for 12no bolts per joint.

2. Limitations of End Fittings: Values may be limited by the type of end fittings used. In the absence of a standard end fitting, the load must be applied through a stiff surface such as a steel plate or grouted surface.

3. Values assume that the load is applied to a vertical prop concentrically along the centre of the prop (ie no eccentricity). More comprehensive charts including values for eccentric loading and horizontal props are available in the technical data sheets.



6. Longer props can be braced to reduce the effective length and improve the capacity. Please refer to the Mat 125 Data Sheet.

Hydraulics & Jacking - general overviewApplicationMabey Hire offer a comprehensive range of hydraulic jacks,

pressurising equipment and monitoring systems. Many of these

products have been developed in house for use with our high

load propping systems through experience and dialogue with our

clients. The range includes low height and hollow ram jacks and

the specialised Mabey Climbing Jack system used for lifting and

lowering heavy loads through distances in excess of 2m.

Design codesAll Mabey hydraulic cylinders comply with ASME B30.1.

ASME B30.1 is a code recognised and accepted by the

Highways Agency.

TestingAll Mabey hydraulic equipment is subject to a rigorous inspection

and testing regime that is carried out by our experienced in

house hydraulics technicians. The in house procedure exceeds

that required by law and reflects our focus on providing quality

equipment to site.

Our ISO 9001:2008 accredited system includes a fully

documented inspection record for each individually numbered

piece of equipment. Proof load testing can be carried out in house

should this be a requirement for specific uses.

Hydraulic ancillariesMabey Hire offers a comprehensive range of ancillaries to

complete the jacking systems.

Hydraulic pumps

We offer a full range of hydraulic pumps including the manual

hand pump (single acting), electric pump (single/double acting),

standard petrol driven pump (single/double acting) and the

synchronised petrol driven pump which offers either 4 or 6 outlets.

Hoses, manifolds, non return valves, variable relief valves

and pressure guages

We offer a range of thermo plastic hoses from 3m to 15m lengths

together with non return/variable relief valves, both standard or

digital pressure guages from 600 to 10,000 PSI and 2, 4 and

6 way manifolds to allow the construction of the most complex

hydraulic circuits.

Displacement monitoring

The standard method of measuring displacement is by using a

dial test indicator (DTI), we offer either 25mm or 50mm stroke

DTIs with magnetic stands and adjustable arms. The DTI can

be fitted directly to structural steelwork or a suitable steel plate

bonded to a concrete surface and has an accuracy

of 0.01mm.

Mabey Hire offer a specialist jacking service, which can design, plan and operate simple or complex jacking services. Featured is an example of a typical hydraulic design.


Hydraulics & Jacking - hymat jacksThe Hymat jack is a lightweight alloy cylinder designed

in house by Mabey engineers specifically for use with

Mabey MAT 125 (see Pages 42-49). It is entirely

compatible both in terms of load capacity and

connection details. The Hymat can also be used in

conjunction with our lighter Mass 50 propping system.

Unlike a conventional screwed ram locking collar the

Hymat has an external collar providing greater stability.

The versatile Hymat cylinder can be used supplied

with a variety of head and baseplates suited to

individual applications, including a spherical head

which allows a 5° rotation.

Hydraulics & Jacking - specialist monitoring & instrumentationMabey Hire Instrumentation specialises in Structural Monitoring.

Using the unique combination of our experienced engineering and

site teams together with specialist instrumentation and software

engineers and the latest equipment Mabey Hire Instrumentation

offers cost effective practical solutions for the monitoring of all

forms of structure.

We have a wide ranging experience in monitoring solutions where

appropriate combining Geotechnic and Geodetic monitoring

techniques to provide detailed, practical information to engineers

accessible through an internet connection with SMS alerts should

client set limitations be breached.

Where appropriate monitoring systems can be linked to

automated hydraulic jacking equipment from within our range

that will act on information received and correct load in jacks

and position of structures. Mabey Hire provides a unique

“one stop shop” for clients removing potentially difficult

interfaces between specialisms.


An example of a total station layout adopted on a previous project.


Structural monitoring

Mabey Hire instrumentation specialise in the application of

monitoring to structures throughout the built environment.

Using Geotechnic and Geodetic techniques cost effective

solutions are provided across a wide range of requirements.

Installations are provided to measure the effect of works being

carried out on or adjacent to existing structures in the short to

medium term. Long term or permanent monitoring equipment

can be provided to structures where concern over condition is

an issue or where long term deterioration is evident and clear

information is required to determine the effect on the structure.

Geodetic monitoring systems measure georeferenced

displacements or movements in one, two or three dimensions.

Using Total Stations and Digital lasers the instruments continually

sight pre fixed targets on structures to record accurate positional

information that can be collected locally by interrogating the

instrument or centrally via a web interface. This technology can

be applied to short or long term use and can be accurate to

+/- 1.5mm.

Applications include:

Bridge movement monitoring

Building movement monitoring

Tunnel monitoring

Ground movement monitoring

Accurate movement monitoring allows engineers to assess the

effect of work on or adjacent to structures enhancing site safety

and allowing early reaction to unexpected effects minimising the

risk of damage to structures and the likelihood of the resultant

third party claims.

Geotechnic monitoring systems measure non-georeferenced

displacements or movements and related environmental effects

or conditions. These techniques accurately measure the

performance and position of structural elements to provide

information whilst under normal working conditions or during

works periods.

Mabey Hire’s long history and experience in civil and structural

engineering allows us to quickly understand requirements and

work with clients to produce tailored, cost effective solutions.

Geotechnic monitoring techniques can be employed to measure

inclination, strain, fatigue, vibration, deflection and crack

movement in short, medium or permanent applications.

Information can be collected locally with hand held devices or

fed to a web site where it can be analysed and presented in a

format to suit the client’s needs.

Applications include:

Bearing Replacement

Half joint monitoring

Load testing

Stress monitoring

Structural health monitoring

longevity and keep on-site costs to a minimum.

Lightweight panels can be moved and located by hand

retaining walls and parapets
