Self-climbing Formwork

Self-climbing Formwork

The power of the auto-climbing formwork comes from the hydraulic system which includes  pump station, hydraulic cylinder and oil pipe. The hydraulic system can control the climbing of the climbing rail and the bracket. As a result, the steel rail and the bracket can inter-climb with the hydraulic system and the whole system will climb up steadily. Cranes are not needed during the construction. It's easy to operate, highly efficient and safe. It can climb both vertically and slantwise, therefore it is the best choice for the construction of high rise buildings and bridges. The formwork system can climb both vertically and slantwise fast.

Advantages of climbing formwork:

The formwork will not be dismantled until the construction is finished. The field will be saved and the hazard of formworks' breakage will be greatly reduced. The system can climb integrally or separately. The climbing process is steady, synchronous, and safe. The system will furnish all-round platforms and additional platform is not needed. The auto-climbing formwork can climb by itself and cleaning work can be done in situ. The use of tower crane will be greatly reduced.

  • Secure simultaneous construction of vertical and horizontal sections of concrete buildings

  • High Quality Concrete Finishes

  • speed up construction

  • labor saving

  • Withstands high winds for increased safety


Climbing formwork is a special plank that rises as the building is constructed. This is a very efficient formwork system for buildings with complex geometries or where seamless walls are required. It is mainly used in the construction of tall vertical buildings such as skyscrapers, and it allows for reuse by simply removing the mold from the lowest part and installing it at the highest point. It can cast very large concrete structures in one pour, creating seamless structures and reducing time and materials.

The climbing formwork not only includes the formwork itself, but also provides a working space for construction personnel and protects the safety of personnel. Construction is possible even in bad weather.

The main accessories of the climbing formwork:

  • working platform

  • Wall formwork accessories

  • hanging beam

  • suspended platform
