Telescopic assembly supports are indispensable when mounting panels or structural frames overhead and need to be as simple, fast and safe to use as possible. These requirements were the basis for the development of the STE supports. Available in three sizes, they all share the same multistage adjustment principle: using a quick-slide button, the tubular steel support is extended to the approximate length required and then adjusted by means of a pump lever until the support plate makes contact. Finally, the required holding strength is set by turning the grip. Thanks to the ergonomically shaped handle, all these steps can be conveniently executed using one hand.
When fully extended to a length of three metres, the STE300 model can support a load of 110 kilograms. The swivelling floor and support plates are equipped with non-slip surfaces and allow the props to be set at angles of up to 45 degrees.
