PERI solution
The VARIO GT 24 is always a project-specific solution consisting of formwork girders, steel walers and any selected formlining. It can be adapted to suit every cross-section, concreting height and required fresh concrete pressure.
The CB climbing scaffold systems provide high levels of safety in all areas of application.
With the CB 240, the formwork is mounted on a carrier with roller bearings and can be moved by approximately 75 cm. This results in sufficient space being created for cleaning the formlining as well as for reinforcement work. The 2.40 m wide platform planking is flush with the Carriage CB and free of any tripping hazards.
With the CB 160, the formwork is simply tipped backwards for striking. With both systems, the formwork is moved to the next pour together with the scaffold in one crane lift.
