Can acro props raise a load or just support a load?

Swift66 · 2009-06-08 17:46:15

Hello, I need to raise the roof of a shed in order to do some repairs and wondered if acro props will do the job? Or are they only for adjusting to heigth required and the putting into position or can I put them in position and raise up the load of the roof. Thanks
