MEP higher safety, higher load

The versatile MEP shoring system handles virtually any slab forming project: no „superfluous" props but few and identical components utilizing the advantages of the SAS quicklowering system developed by MEVA. Depending on the subsoil and the required load capacity, the shoring system can easily be adapted by connecting reinforcing frames. MEP is the shoring answer for

  • Supporting slab formwork at any height
  • Build slab tables for large slab areas
  • Support concrete beams, balconies or prefabricated slabs

MEP props are complemented by the heavy duty MEP HD with triple load capacity. They connect to the system the same way and support very heavy loads only where necessary.

The quick-lowering system SAS
 

  • Simple adjustment method: set the rough height with the G-hook+
  • Fine-tune height settings with the adjusting nut
  • A single hammer blow releases the load off the prop
  • Once the prop is removed, the quick-lowering system jumps back to the original position automatically
  • Reduces assembly and stripping errors
  • Saves time, effort and material wear and tear
  • Optimised safety

Design MEP

Assembly and stripping MEP

FEATURES BENEFITS
  • Principle of adjustment: inner tube with holes punched for coarse adjustment by using a G-hook, sturdy adjusting nut on outer tube for fine adjustment
  1. No tedious height adjustment with spindles

  • MEVA-invention: The SAS quick-lowering system releases the stress in the prop with one strike of a hammer
  1. No height adjustment under load
  2. No wear on material, minimum effort
  • Extension adjustable for each individual prop
  1. Easy compensation of steps or unevenness of the floor
  • Reinforcing frames are connected to MEP-props with hammerhead screws, can be operated with a hammer
  1. Correct and safe connection immediately visible by horizontal position of hammerhead screw
  • Adjustable cross braces for prop spacings between 90cm and 300cm
  1. Easy adaptation to irregular dimensions
  • MEP tube coupler can be attached anywhere on the outer tube
  1. Scaffold tubes with Ø 48mm can be attached wherever required
  • Installation of self-securing scaffold platforms
  1. Safe working at any height
  • Lift truck to move shoring towers
  1. Horizontal transport of towers possible without crane

MEP-prop with SAS

MEP-prop with SASZoom
The MEP-prop is a combination of steel inner tube and aluminium outer tube with T-groove to attach reinforcing frames. The SAS quick-lowering system allows the stress in the prop to be released with one strike of a hammer. After stripping the prop automatically resets and locks in the original position. According to the European Standard EN 1065 (class E) the props have a load capacity of: MEP 300: 40 kN irrespective of assembly position. MEP 450: 20 kN irrespective of the assembly position, if assembled with the inner tube downwards the load capacity increases to 30 kN. Depending on their application the load capacity varies (refer to Technical Manual for MevaDec).
