Rail Climbing Formwork RKS

Flexible rail-guided climbing formwork for high-rise buildings. Highlights: optimised structure and easy to use.
Flexible rail-guided climbing formwork for high-rise buildings. Highlights: optimised structure and easy to use.

The RKS is a rail guided climbing formwork that allows hydraulic climbing without detaching the structure from the wall. The lifting structure is based on MK profiles (MK System), which provides great versatility and adaptability for construction site requirements such as building geometry, working platform configuration and safety access points.

The climbing units operate independently and lifting can be done with hydraulic equipment (several climbing units can be lifted at once) or by means of a crane. This makes the lifting processes very cost-efficient.

Ultimately, it is a flexible and safe system for high rise building construction, which allows safe lifting operations in adverse weather conditions.  

  • Hydraulic lifting system for formwork assemblies, with crane lifting optional
  • Single lower platform for anchor recovery
  • Adjustable to different pouring heights, with a standard range from 2.7 m to 5 m
  • Hydraulic cylinder lifting capacity: 50 kN
  • Formwork roll-back distance: 70 cm
  • Configuration optimised 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 customisable configurations
  • Lifting without crane assistance
  • Climbing assemblies lifted with a single hydraulic unit and two portable cylinders
  • Lifting under adverse weather conditions
