If you’re in the construction industry, you know how important it is to have reliable and sturdy equipment. One piece of equipment that you may not have given much thought to is your construction props. When it comes to choosing between aluminium tilt props and steel props, there are a number of reasons why aluminium is the better choice.

Here are four reasons why aluminium tilt props are better than steel:

 

  1. Lightweight and Portable

Aluminium tilt props are much lighter than steel props, making them easier to transport and move around on the job site. This is especially important if you need to move them from one area of the site to another, or if you need to transport them from job to job.

 

2. Corrosion Resistance

Aluminium has excellent corrosion resistance, which means it won’t rust or deteriorate over time like steel can. This makes it ideal for use in harsh outdoor environments or in areas where there is a lot of moisture or humidity.

 

3. Environmentally Friendly

Aluminium is a highly recyclable material, which makes it an environmentally friendly option. When your aluminium tilt props have reached the end of their useful life, they can be recycled and turned into new products.

 

4. Safer to Use

Aluminium tilt props are safer to use than steel props because their lighter weight results in fewer manual handling injuries. They can also cause slightly less property damage when mishandled due to their reduced weight.

 

In conclusion, aluminium tilt props can be superior to steel props for many reasons. They are lighter, easier to transport, and more environmentally friendly than steel props. They are also safer to use and better for the environment. If you’re looking for high-quality construction props, Shore Hire has you covered.
