CLIMBING SYSTEMS

Pilosio’s new climbing systems with mechanical handling allow creating in succession vertical construction joints without the aid of scaffolding and combines with the following formwork systems MINIMAG, P300, MAGNUM PLUS, SUELT and MAXIMIX.

The utilisation of climbing systems ensures significant optimisation of time and resources: the solutions offered, in fact, enable the simultaneous handling of formwork and work levels firmly connected together. Taking into consideration the work phases allows guaranteeing a high safety level to the workers.

Close collaboration between Pilosio and the designers, the construction firms, the safety managers and the operators allows finding the necessary parameters and details in order to identify the appropriate solution for each specific requirement.

The Pilosio climbing support bracket system is divided into three main groups:

• standard climbing with fixed and sliding support level
• climbing for single-face casting
• guided climbing work levels

CLIMBING SYSTEM WITH FIXED SUPPORT LEVEL

Suitable for a limited number of construction joints, it allows raising the vertical structures using classic protective scaffolding. The system is complete with parapets and auxiliary service bridge, and the dismantling and the handling of the formwork wall is independent of the support bracket.

CLIMBING SYSTEM WITH SLIDING FLOOR

Suitable for a high number of construction joints, the sliding system allows dismantling the formwork by moving it back from the line of the concrete wall and handling it together with the support bracket.

CLIMBING SYSTEM FOR SINGLE-FACE CASTING

This is a specific system for the construction of containment walls, large-scale hydraulic operations and all those works where anchorage to common systems is not possible because of the large wall sections to build. The system was devised in order to ensure the concrete casting load capacity by means of its own system of anchorage to the underlying structure, in case of through-holes absence.

GUIDED CLIMBING SYSTEM

It is perfect in case of construction sites where wind action could make problematic the hoisting operations with a crane. The vertical steel frames anchor the system to the completed structure and allows the hoisting with the crane being “guided” and anchored to the construction, including during the removal phase. A single pull is enough to safely and simply move the whole bracket. Depending on the expected wind speed, it is enough to simply widen the bracket. A bracket width of 2.5 m is sufficient for a wind speed of 100 km/h.
