System Description
ACROW FLEX DECK System is a Falsework and Shoring system. It has three simple components, P20 Beam,
fork head and Prop.
Purpose of the Document

The purpose of this document is to provide guidelines for the design, safe handling, transport, and
installation of the ACROW FLEX DECK system.
The document also outlines the various components of the system and 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 responsibility of
the installation contractor 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 ACROW FLEX DECK. Our
technical experts can identify the most efficient temporary work design that meets project requirements,
specifications, and the installation process.
Should the users require any further information or guidance, they are encouraged to contact their local
Acrow branch.
Safety Information
This safety information is to draw the user’s attention to possible musculoskeletal disorders as a result of
manual handling during assembly and dismantling of the ACROW FLEX DECK system.
It is recommended that users of the ACROW FLEX DECK system employ and implement appropriate
procedures and control measures to eliminate or control any risk of musculoskeletal disorder or injury while
handling.
Refer to the Code of Practice on Manual Handling published by the local Workcover Authority or other
approved and recognized guidelines for correct and appropriate manual handling procedures.

1. Technical Specifications
Important Information
The erection and application instructions contained in this manual are the recommended methods to be
used for ACROW FLEX DECK products.
Please use the information from this manual and its recommended assembly details to ensure the correct
installation and performance of the product. Any deviation from the recommended usage will require a
separate design and/or verification by Acrow Engineering.
The safe use and application of the system must be in accordance with Australian Standard AS 3610
Formwork for Concrete, Occupational Health & Safety regulations, approved industry codes of practice,

issues and therefore require a design check and/or verification by Acrow Engineering or a qualified
experienced engineer.
Hazard identification and risk assessments for the erection and dismantling of the system are available
from Acrow branches. Site-specific hazards and risk assessments may need to be generated for specific
projects.

P20 Beam
The P20 timber beam is suitable for horizontal (slabs) and vertical (wall) formwork, bridge and tunnel
formwork and construction of working platforms. The P20 timber beam is compliant to EN13377:2002.
The timber beam’s 80mm x 40mm flanges are made from wood. The flanges are fingered-jointed and glued
to the thick multi-ply solid wood web. The I section with a height of 200mm and width of 80mm resists strong
impacts due to the protective plastic caps fitted at the ends of the beam. The P20 beam comes in many
standard’s lengths ranging from 1.45m to 5.9m.

Fork Head
The Fork Head is installed into the end of the prop to hold the P20 beam captive. The Fork Head can be
rotated to suit a single or double P20 Beam. Make sure the P20 beam protrudes past the Fork Head at a
minimum of 30mm.

Bracing and Stability

• It is assumed at all lateral stability for the system is transferred to the permanent structure walls and
columns.
• Where the permanent works will not provide sufficient restraint to the system, additional bracing shall be
introduced by the designer.
• The bracing in the system is only designed to aid in stability while erecting and dismantling the system.
• The stability and load-bearing capacity of all components and units must be ensured during all phases
of the construction work.
• Do not step on or apply strain to cantilevers, closures, etc. Until suitable measures to ensure their stability
have been correctly implemented (e.G. By tie-backs).
• When stripping out the formwork, do not endanger the stability of any part of the structure, or of any
scaffolding, platforms or formwork that is still in place
• Trip-pods and bracing frames between props are erection and dismantle tools only.

Props and Tripod Installation
The tripod is closed for transportation. Open up the legs until the tripod can stand by itself. When the tripod
is standing by it’s self, hook in the prop to start the building process. May need more than one tripod to aid in
quick setup.

Installation of Beams
Nail Hole here if required.
Insert the fork head into the prop at the top and lock with the pin. Once the fork head is installed, lift the P20
beam over the fork head legs and slide the end into the fork head. Place the prop, tripod, and fork head
under the opposite side of the primary beam.
Lift the P20 beam into the next prop and Fork Head. Make sure the prop and beam are stable. Repeat the
previous steps until there are two rows of P20 beams forming two rows of bearers.
5.3

5. Assembly Details
Installation of Beams
Lift P20 beams (joists) perpendicular to the already-formed bearers. The P20 beam can be nailed to existing
products on the side, or a GHI H20 beam clamp can be applied (refer to page 4.6). An Acrow Flex Deck bay
has been constructed.

Installation of P20 Intermediate Support

Prior to installation, the P20 Intermediate support needs to be inserted into the top of the prop. After the
head is locked, slip the prop onto the bottom of the P20 beam at an angle of between 30 and 45 degrees.

Installation of Props into tower formation
Put the tripod and props together. After it is put together, fasten the Bracing to each side of the prop. To
secure the bracing to the prop, hammer down the pin. After finishing, the tripod can be taken out of one
support. Reassemble the tripod and prop, then join the subsequent bracing. Hammer again to lock. Carry
out the previous action again. Be sure to swing the bracing to the next prop after attaching one side.

EP Prop Transport
The Acrow stillage is used to store a set number of items per a stillage. When a stillage is not used ensure
items are bundled and placed on suitable dunnage. Items should be stored in a particular way to prevent
them from falling off the stillage. The recommended method and process is:
• Stack items next to and on top to each other.

• Only pack and stack similar matching lengths per stillage/bundle. Do not mix different sizes or types in
one stillage/bundle.
• Ensure every stillage/bundle load does not exceed the advised table below.
• Secure assembled items onto stillage/bundle by using at least two straps or plastic wrapped for
enclosed stillages (two straps for enclosed stillage not applicable).
• Refer to Acrow Scaffold Stillage Transport and Manual Handling Document for further stacking and
transport recommendations.
