What is Scaffolding Props & Spans? Adjustable Span vs. Telescopic Prop

Adjustable spans and telescopic props do the quiet work of holding a slab in place while concrete cures. Here's the difference between the two and when to use each.

MOD SCAFF manufactures a dependable range of spans and props at its Faridabad, Delhi/NCR facility, built to the best industrial standards and precise in design, construction, and strength. Made from quality steel, they are rugged, easily adjustable, and simple to use on site — with application-specific configurations available to suit light, moderate, and heavy-duty needs.

Adjustable Span

Adjustable Span is manufactured from supreme-quality raw materials under close professional supervision. It's generally used during the casting of slabs to support the centering ply or plates, and its adjustability provides stability for slab heights of 10 feet and above during RCC construction, maintenance, and repair work. Robust construction, high load-bearing capacity, and a long service life make Adjustable Span a consistently in-demand product for contractors.

Telescopic Prop

Telescopic Prop is extensively used to support various kinds of shuttering and centering material during RCC construction work. Manufactured at MOD SCAFF's advanced production unit under experienced supervision, it's valued for its compact structure, low maintenance, and long service life — making it highly functional for repeated use across multiple pours.

Key Features
