Our Hydraulic Struts

Hydraulic struts comprise of a series of extensions with a hydraulic unit at one end. The main advantages of the system is the speed of installation and removal compared with traditional fabricated systems. It is also possible to pre-stress the struts to the limit of deflection during the installation stages.

MP30 Mechanical Strut

MP30 Mechanical Strut

The MP30 is a modular format light-duty mechanically operated strut. The strut consists of a mechanical unit with a 150mm stroke for fine length adjustment and a combination of fixed length extension pieces. The mechanical extension and retraction is made by turning the fixed threaded jack section. For specific component configuration, see the job specific design details.

MP60 Mechanical Strut

MP60 Mechanical Strut

The MP60 is a modular format medium-duty mechanically adjustable strut, combining the compressive strength of steel tube with the convenience of mechanical length adjustment. MP60’s are used where single or multi-directional support is required to excavations or cofferdams and mechanical, as opposed to hydraulic adjustment is preferred.

MP50 Hydraulic Struts

MP50 Hydraulic Struts

All hydraulic struts have a double acting hydraulic ram with an integral lock-off valve for simple, safe installation and removal.

MP150 Hydraulic Struts

MP150 Hydraulic Struts

The MP150 is a modular format medium-duty hydraulically activated strut consisting of a hydraulic ram unit with a 1100mm stroke for fine length adjustment. Swivel end bearing units allow for various strutting alignments within an excavation with or without waling beams.

MP250 Hydraulic Strut

MP250 Hydraulic Strut

The MP250 is a modular format high load capacity hydraulic strut combining the compressive strength of steel tube with the convenience of hydraulic actuation for length adjustment and pre-loading potential. Swivel end bearing units allow for various strutting alignments within an excavation, with or without waling beams.

MP250 Hydraulic Strut (Super Extensions)

MP250 Hydraulic Strut (Super Extensions)

The MP250 is a modular format heavy-duty hydraulically activated strut consisting of a hydraulic ram unit with a 1050mm stroke for fine length adjustment. For higher load and/or longer span applications, it is possible to combine the hydraulic unit with extension pieces using appropriate adaptor pieces. Swivel end bearing units allow for various strutting alignments within an excavation with or without waling beams.

MP375

MP375

The MP375 is a modular format heavy-duty hydraulically activated strut consisting of a hydraulic ram unit with a 1300mm stroke for fine length adjustment. For higher load and/or longer span applications, it is possible to combine the hydraulic unit with extension pieces using appropriate adaptor components. Swivel end bearing units allow for various strutting alignments within an excavation with or without waling beams.

MP750 Hydraulic Strut

MP750 Hydraulic Strut

The MP750 is a high load capacity strut and is capable of resisting design loads up to 11,000kN. The strut consists of a central low pressure hydraulic ram unit with a 500mm stroke for fine length adjustment on site. Once installed, load is resisted by a twin screw mechanical locking system. The unit also incorporates an advanced high pressure hydraulic nut system to aid installation, high level pre-stressing (if required) and subsequent removal of the strut under residual load.

Hydraulic Nut

Hydraulic Nut

Integral hydraulic nuts acting directly behind the locking screws offer the ability to both pre-load the MP750 strut to a high level on installation, as well as providing a safe and controlled means of releasing the strut under residual load.

Senceive Wireless Data Monitoring

Senceive Wireless Data Monitoring

Groundforce have partnered with the world leaders in wireless data monitoring Senceive. This system simplifies real time measurement of static loads and monitors potential movements. This new system known as FlatMesh™ from Senceive, uses wireless nodes with the Groundforce load pins, which pass their signal from one to another. This therefore means that one of the nodes needs to have clear contact with the 3G gateway module, in order for all readings to be taken.
