Abstract

A prop head assembly is configured to be fixedly connected to a vertically-extending construction column, and also configured to support a horizontal construction beam assembly once the prop head assembly is fixedly connected to the vertically-extending construction column. The prop head assembly includes a first beam-locating feature and a second beam-locating feature. The first beam-locating feature is configured to selectively receive, at least in part, a beam-reference portion. The second beam-locating feature is also configured to receive the beam-reference portion once the beam-reference portion is inadvertently displaced away from the first beam-locating feature and from the vertically-extending construction column and toward the second beam-locating feature.
