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.
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 uniform concrete surface.
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.
7. Further information should be obtained from the product technical data sheets or Mabey Hire engineers.

Mass 25
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.

Mat 125
MAT 125 or “Military Trestling” has been the industry standard for
the support of heavy loads for many years. Mabey Hire’s policy
of continuous improvement has led to the re engineering of the
original concept in modern steels to offer enhanced capacities and
increased flexibility. MAT 125 has a working load of 1250kN per
column and is regularly used in conjunction with the Mabey Hymat
jack system to pre load, strike or lift from the top of the columns.

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.
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 Mat 125 Data Sheet.
7. Further information should be obtained from the product technical data sheets or Mabey Hire engineers.

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
