The Acrow POWERSHORE 30 is a high load shoring system that provides a fast, ecient and versatile
supporting structure. The simplicity of the coupling of strong vertical Standards joined together by
Horizontal Bracing Frames enables towers to be easily and safely erected.
Standards are joined together using a rigid full strength Standard Connector. Corner braces are attached
at apposing corners and alternated between each level to maintain squareness and rigidity of the tower
throughout its height.
Adjustable Bases at the bottom of the tower and Adjustable Bases with U-head attachments at the top
of the tower provide infinite height adjustment. These Adjustable Bases can be braced with a Bracing
Frame as required. The built in strength of each individual component contributes to construction of a
support tower capable of supporting leg load in excess of 300 kN based on tower and bracing frame
configuration.
Acrow POWERSHORE 30 Towers can be configured to support loads up to 1200 kN per tower.
The purpose of this document is to provide guidelines for design, safe handling, transport and installation
of the POWERSHORE 30 system.
The document also outlines the various components of the system and it features illustrations, working
load limits, typical assembly arrangements and safe transport and handling measures.
The information contained in this document is provided as a general guide only and does not replace
the need for the design to be reviewed and checked by a qualified person in the field of temporary works
design and installation, concrete, steel, building construction and services.
This material has been prepared in the context of relevant Australian Standards and the National
Construction Code (NCC). Users should make themselves aware of any recent changes to these
documents referred to therein and to local variations or requirements.
This document is NOT a substitute for site-specific Safe Operation Procedures. It is the Installation
Contractors responsibility to prepare safe work method statements and observe and comply with site
specific health and safety regulations, standards and policies.
Acrow has dedicated engineering services available for project assistance. We can provide design
support for clients to determine the best way to specify and document POWERSHORE 30. Our
technical experts can identify the most ecient temporary work design meeting project requirements,
specifications and installation process.
Should the users require any further information or guidance, they are encouraged to contact their local
