Column formwork KS Xlife

The high-speed column formwork with a folding mechanism

The quick and easy way to form quadratic and rectangular columns

Wherever large numbers of columns, with varying cross-sections, need to be formed on time and on budget.

Rapid forming

thanks to folding mechanism

Gives your site a speed-boost

  • as the formwork is simply folded open and shut, minimising set-up and removal times

  • as there is no need to change the form-facing when adjusting the cross-section anywhere between 20 and 60 cm, in 5 cm increments

Reduced close-out costs

thanks to the high-grade Xlife sheet

The plastic-coated Xlife sheet delivers

  • very high repeat-use numbers and fewer changes of form-facing

  • fewer places needing touching-up, thanks to special surface structure

  • very easy cleaning and nailability

Easy to reposition

using the shifting-wheels

You can reposition the Column formwork KS Xlife

  • by hand, i.e. without crane assistance, up to a max. formwork height of 3.60 m

  • in one crane cycle, thus saving crane time, for heights above 3.60 m

Enhanced safety

throughout the entire operation

Superlative safety conditions on your site, thanks to

Long-lived Xlife sheet

  • Extremely high numbers of re-use cycles with superlative concreting results, for unparalleled cost efficiency and fewer changes of form-facing
  • No burst-off plywood chips, and less water absorbed through nail-holes, for longer service life
  • Special surface structure for less touching-up and reduced close-out costs
  • Timber-plastic composite sheet that can also be cleaned using a high-pressure washer

Crane­less re­po­si­tion­ing

When shifting wheels are attached, Column formwork KS units with heights of up to 3.60 m can be wheeled and repositioned on the same level. The four Shifting wheels KS per column are easy to clamp onto the formwork and save a great deal of crane time when manually repositioning the units in the horizontal.

Im­print-free con­crete fin­ish

The form-ply is screwed-on from the rear, ensuring fair-faced concrete quality that is free of screw-head imprints.
