Eliminate unplanned costs and delays by asking questions from the start and work together with your formwork partner through every step of the project.

The first step in choosing the correct formwork for a project consists of a review of the project and the design and site challenges. Does the design call for use of multiple types of formwork? Does the site call for work in close quarters, where there is no room for the formwork staging?

What types of climbing formwork systems are there?

There are several types of climbing formwork systems, which adapt to different needs and site features. Some of the most common are:

• Climbing formwork in sections
• Climbing formwork with carriage
• Interior climbing formwork
• Single face climbing formwork
• Low Load Capacity (5tn) Self-climbing formwork
• High Load Capacity (10Tn) Self-climbing formwork

Climbing formwork in sections

This system is used in the construction of walls and columns of medium height. The formwork and its support (climbing bracket) are moved independently using a crane (first the bracket is placed and then the formwork is placed on it), enabling gradual progress of the work. This type of formwork is especially useful when the structure presents changes in section or geometry along its height, since it enables quick and easy adjustment of the formwork.

Climbing formwork with carriage

In this case, the formwork and its support or console are moved together using a crane, which facilitates its assembly and disassembly in large-scale works. This system is especially suitable for high-rise buildings, where it makes the most sense.
This system is particularly suitable for repetitive structures in which the section will not change in height and in which we have sufficient auxiliary means when lifting them.
