Product Information

Full details

The Bessey Telescopic Drywall Support (STE90) is designed for professionals and DIY enthusiasts who need to securely hold drywall, lumber, or other materials in place during installation or construction. Its primary benefit is the stable, single-handed operation and adjustable holding force, allowing for efficient and precise positioning. A key consideration is its weight capacity, which is highest when fully retracted. This support system features durable steel construction, non-slip PVC contact surfaces, a quick-slide button for rapid adjustments, and a 2-component handle with a pump mechanism for easy control. The included Stable Floor Tripod enhances its versatility for standalone use, even outdoors.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the maximum weight capacity of the support?

Each support can hold up to 350kg, but this maximum capacity is achieved only when the support is fully retracted.

Can I use this support on slopes?

Yes, the continuously swivelling contact surfaces (-45° to +45°) allow for secure use on slopes and uneven surfaces.

How do I control the holding force?

The holding force can be precisely controlled by turning the support on its grip. The 2-component plastic handle with a pump mechanism facilitates this adjustment.

What is the purpose of the Stable Floor Tripod?

The Stable Floor Tripod provides a stable base for the ceiling supports, allowing them to be used freestanding or in open spaces, enhancing their versatility, especially for outdoor applications.

Is the product certified?

Yes, the Bessey Telescopic Drywall Support is GS-certified, ensuring it meets quality and safety standards.

What is the operational range of the support?

The model STE90 has an operational range of 575-910mm.

How do I clean the support?

Wipe the steel tubes and telescopic mechanism clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Clean the PVC contact surfaces with a damp cloth to maintain grip.

Troubleshooting

Support will not extend or retract smoothly

Ensure the telescopic tubes are clean and free of debris. Check for any obstructions. Lubricate the mechanism sparingly if necessary.

Holding force seems weak

Verify that the support is fully engaged with the material and surface. Ensure the pump mechanism is functioning correctly and that the grip is being turned sufficiently to tighten.

Contact surfaces slip on angled surfaces

Utilize the swivelling function of the contact surfaces to find the optimal angle for maximum contact. Ensure the surfaces are clean and free from dust or grease.

Tripod base feels unstable

Confirm the tripod is placed on a flat, level surface. Ensure the drywall support is correctly seated in the tripod's holder.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extremely stable construction for reliable support.
  • Single-handed operation simplifies complex tasks.
  • Adjustable holding force allows for precise material placement.

  • Versatile use on slopes with swivelling contact plates.
  • GS-certified for peace of mind regarding safety and quality.

Cons

  • Maximum load capacity is only achieved when fully retracted.

  • Requires some practice to master single-handed force control.
  • Might be heavier than some lightweight alternatives.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Extend the telescopic drywall support to the approximate desired length using the quick-slide button.
  2. Fine-tune the position by turning the support on the grip until the desired holding force is achieved.
  3. For the Stable Floor Tripod, simply place it on a level surface and insert the outer pipe of the drywall support (29mm or 32mm diameter) into the designated slot.

Compatibility:

  • The drywall support is designed for general construction and holding tasks.
  • The Stable Floor Tripod is compatible with drywall supports having an outer pipe diameter of 29mm and 32mm.

Care:
