Climbing Formwork

Modular System

Optimum adaptability to any project
• Small number of different parts
• Inclination adjustments of up to +/-15° possible for formwork and scaffold
• Uniform design of suspended platform and pouring platform
• Platforms are pre-assembled, i. e. rapid on site erection
• Direct connection facility to Doka automatic climber SKE
• 1st pouring section can be formed using system components

Operating Process

Formwork can be erected and struck without a crane and with minimal manpower
• Entire unit is lifted in one piece, quickly and easily (i. e. minimal crane time)
• Swift, precise formwork adjustment in all directions
• Simple inclination adjustment

Design

Its practice-oriented design:
• High loadability (50 kN per climbing bracket)
• Formwork heights of up to 6.0 m
• Suitable for beamed and framed formwork panels and formwork made of timber beams.
• Wide working platforms (2.40 m)
• Formwork retractable by up to 75 cm
• Economical anchoring (small number of separate parts)
• Can climb over concrete projections with cantilever of up to 25 cm
• Climbing brackets can be used as heavy scaffold platforms

Weather Capabilities

Acrow formwork works independent of climatic influences:
• Permits safe working at wind speeds of up to 70 km/h
• Climbing can take place irrespective of climatic influences
• Working platforms can be equipped with weatherproofing canopies

Section-at-a-time Climbing

Our formwork has the advantage of section-at-a-time climbing:
• Freely selectable operating sequence with no need for round-the-clock working
• The cycles are optimised for the construction task in question, right from the planning stage
• Rapid work rhythm: Form, strike, climb
– With no need for a crane
– Whatever the weather
– Independently of other forming operations, e.g. for trailing floor-slabs and walls
– Lifting rate: 5 minim

Adaptability

The MF240 Climbing Formwork has a direct connection facility to Doka Automatic Climber SKE the most economical solution can be achieved for all layouts of buildings, piers or shafts.

Safety

Complete safety in all phases of the work.

Planning and Onsite Services

Doka planning service:
Doka will be pleased to plan the most economical formwork solution for you, and partial pre-assembly of the formwork by the Doka Ready-to-Use Service will save both man hours and space on the site.
Doka on site service:
Our Doka supervising foremen and engineers can assist you with good advice, right the way through
from when the formwork is assembled to when it is first used, up to and including the typical operating sequence, and give the forming crew introductory training on site.
