Rail Climbing Formwork RKS

Flexible rail-guided climbing formwork for forming cores, shear walls and perimeter walls using a hydraulic lifting mechanism
Flexible rail-guided climbing formwork for forming cores, shear walls and perimeter walls using a hydraulic lifting mechanism.

The RKS rail climbing system enables panel climbing without separating the structure from the wall. The guiding system makes the lifting operations safe under most weather conditions.

The lifting of the entire structure is done by crane with the option of incorporating a hydraulic system for lifting without a crane.

  • Hydraulic lifting of the entire formwork structure and optional crane lifting
  • Single lower platform for anchor recovery
  • Adjustable to different pouring heights, with a standard range from 8ft – 10in and to 16ft - 5in
  • Formwork roll-back distance: 2ft -3.5in 
  • Configuration optimized to obtain high levels of efficiency on-site
  • Single-point rail anchors
  • Safe climbing at height ensured by rails attached to wall
  • Versatile and adaptable (based on the MK system)
  • Large and secure platforms, with customizable configurations
  • Hydraulic lifting, without crane assistance
  • Climbing assemblies lifted with a single hydraulic unit and two portable cylinders
