Cantilever Arm Prop
A Cantilever Arm Prop (IC/PROP) is used where there is a requirement to
increase the effective safe working loads of Single Channel Cantilever Arm
Brackets (IC/CARM/SC) and Double Channel Cantilever Arm Brackets
(IC/CARM/BB). The Cantilever Arm Prop is particularly effective when used
to reinforce cantilever arm brackets carrying heavier duty METAR
Cable Ladders with their correspondingly higher load bearing capabilities.
The Cantilever Arm Prop is available in three sizes:

Where used with the IC/CARM/SC/P range of single
channel cantilever arm brackets, it may be necessary
to drill the single channel to accept a fixing for the
cantilever arm prop.
