Climbing Systems

Automatic Hydraulic Climbing Formwork

GTP100 Automatic hydraulic climbing formwork system is a construction technique that includes the climbing bracket, formwork, platform system, and suspension bracket, which are attached to the concrete structure. Once the formwork is stripped off from the shaped concrete, it driven by the hydraulic cylinders and guided by the climbing rail, the brackets climb up to the next level, repeating this cycle for the construction process. 

The formwork is integrated with the climbing brackets, moving forward and back together with the travelling units, thus significantly reducing labor costs. The enclosed construction environment effectively prevents falls from heights. 

Advantages

 

 

Safety

  • Fully steel-hardened design improves the structural stability, reliability, and fire resistance of climbing bracket.
  • Formwork retraction gear reduces construction risks and effectively prevents grout leakage from the formwork traveling device.
  • Climbing bracket utilizes fully enclosed steel protective screening.
  • Vertical and inclined hydraulic climbing options ensure a smooth, synchronous, and safe.
  • Rebar installation platform is synchronized with climbing.
  • ensuring safe operations.

 

Highly Cost-Efficient

  • Providing all-round operational platforms saves materials and labor.
  • After low-level assembly, the climbing bracket continuously climbs to the top, reducing formwork damage.

 

Convenience

  • Modularizing the protective screening for easy installation and transportation.
  • Each platform are fully steel-hardened, modular pedals for convenient transportation and easy installation.
  • The climbing formwork self-climbing with formworks, enabling direct adjustments and cleaning on the climbing bracket, without requiring crane lifting, scaffolding, or level-by-level alignment.
  • The bracket can be climbed both integrally or separately.

Operating Conditions

Conditions for climbing formwork construction an dclimbing:

  • No severe weather conditions (e.g., thunderstorms, rain, snow,fog,frost, haze,orhail) during operation.
  • Basic wind pressure does not exceed level 5 (approximately24.5-28.5 m/s).

 

In wind speeds over level 7 (approximately 13.9-17.1 m/s), typhoon reinforcement measures are required for the climbing formwork bracket.

*Note: Referring to the technical standards outlined in the Technical Standard for the Hydraulic climbing Formwork Engineering of the People's Republic of China.

FAQ

 

An Automatic Hydraulic Climbing Formwork System is a self-climbing formwork solution that uses hydraulic power to lift the formwork and working platforms to the next construction level. It is commonly used for high-rise buildings, bridge pylons, towers, and other vertical concrete structures.
High-rise projects require repeated vertical construction cycles. Automatic Hydraulic Climbing Formwork allows the formwork system to move efficiently from floor to floor while maintaining consistent quality, helping contractors accelerate project schedules.
Compared with conventional formwork systems, Automatic Hydraulic Climbing Formwork offers faster climbing operations, reduced crane usage, improved worker safety, lower labor requirements, and greater construction efficiency for tall structures.
Yes. One of the major advantages of the system is its ability to climb independently using hydraulic power. This significantly reduces the need for tower crane operations, helping optimize equipment utilization and minimize construction bottlenecks.
Yes. The system can be engineered to accommodate various structural layouts, core wall configurations, and project requirements. Customized solutions can be developed for different building geometries and construction conditions.
