Crane-climbing formwork system CCF

Description

The Variant’s crane-climbing formwork CCF can be easily set up and lifted by a crane. CCF permits controlled, regular working cycles on all structures such as high-rises, bridge piers and pylons. The system is simple to operate with and copes with wall inclinations up to +/- 15 degree. Owing to its flexible modular system, CCF can be extended and upgraded in many ways. CCF is a highly flexible and cost-effective solution, which requires only minimum crane time, what makes it an ideal system solution for many high-rise applications. Crane-climbing formwork CCF can be easily used with framed or timber-beam formwork.

Load-bearing capacity:

• High load-bearing capacity (50 kN per climbing bracket);
• Formwork height of up to 6.0 m.

System adaptability:

• Excellent adaptability to any height, shape and inclination of a wall;
• Swift, precise formwork adjustment in all directions;
• Simple inclination adjustment.

Cost-effective:

• Small number of suspension points, due to the brackets’ high load-bearing capacity;
• Less crane-time needed, as the climbing brackets and formwork are moved up as a single unit.

Easy handling and planning:

• Small number of different parts is used;
• Integrated traveling units allow the formwork to be closed and opened (retracted) up to 75 cm quickly with no need for a crane;
• Simple inclination adjustment;
• The formwork can be plumbed and aligned very quickly and accurately in all directions, with a simple adjustment mechanism;
• Any requirements for architectural concrete wall design can be met.

Safe use:

• Safe working conditions provided by fully railed-in 2.40 m wide working platform;
• Formwork can be rolled back 0.75 m, leaving plenty of space for the forming and reinforcing operations.
