D | Props: Eurex 20/30 top, Superprop, Floor prop SD-350
Stringer
Maximum flexibility
Superdek stringers in standard lengths of
- Safe - ergonomical installation from the ground below with only one person
- Fast - lightweight high strength aluminum profile designed to maximize spans and increase productivity. Only 6.2 lbs/ft.
- Performance - robust galvanized steel end caps bolted to each end, providing strength and durability on your construction site
- Simple - designed for asymmetrical loading to provide flexible solutions for all jobsite conditions
Joists
Versatility on the jobsite
Superdek joist in standard lengths of
8’-0”,
- Safe - all joists can be set from ground below with one person, no ladders necessary
- Fast - a specially designed lightweight wood core maximizes spacing and labor efficiencies. Only 3.5 lbs/ft.
- Performance - robust galvanized steel end caps bolted to each end, providing strength and durability on your construction site
Drop Head
Faster production with less material
SuperDek drop head allows for early removal of joists and stringers for faster cycling to the next area
- Safe - a visual indicator to ensure safe engagement of the wedge increases safety and speed
- Fast - with only one hit of a hammer, the patented lowering wedge will drop the stringers and joists 4” for early removal
- Performance - patented drop head locking plate locks the stringer and joists providing superior stability
- Simple - fully symmetrical drop head allows for fast setting and an off center hitting point makes dropping the deck super-fast
Optional fast wedge clamp connection for less labor when attaching SuperDek drop head to prop
Props
Setting the industry standard for floor props
Eurex 20/30, Doka prop SD, Superprop
- Safe - all Eurex props are guaranteed to hold a consistent load capacity regardless of extension length
- Highly Reliable - hot dipped galvanized corrosion free components ensure the tested capacities throughout the lifetime of the product
- Fast - a special tread geometry makes the adjustment nut easy to turn, even under fully loaded conditions
- Maximum Versatility - greatest adjustment range on the market for each prop, which leads to less jobsite inventory requirements
The right floor prop for the project means large grid dimensions, less shoring and re-shoring, less material handling, more square footage per truck and fewer crane picks.

Setup of SuperDek
From first stable bay - erection can continue simultaneously in stringer and joist direction.
Erection of Stringer
From the ground below, hook stinger into drop head and hang at 60° angle. Stringer will safely hang from drop head by itself. Take next prop with pre-attached drop head, engage with stinger end and swing up.
After pushing the beams in position, the steel shoe of the beam rests in the recess of the drop head securing it against tilting and providing additional stability.
Erection of Joist
From the ground below, hook joist into stringer and let hang at an angle. Use beam fork to push it up and move it sideways (to the left) past the opposite stringer. One person can safely install all joists, from the ground. No ladders or rolling scaffold necessary.
Erection of Perimeter Slab Edge
Safely form around the building perimeter from inside the building on the slab below. Superdek edge beam cantilevers from an interior stringer, allows the perimeter slab edge to be safely set from the ground below and maintains the drop head function of the Superdek system.
