Forming wagon TU
The underslung bridge edge beam formwork for fast forming of cantilevered parapets
Streamlined forming operations aided by
- rentable all-in-one system with pre-assembled working platforms and parallel girderframe units / forming elements
- easy rebar and concrete placement operations from above
- underslung constructional design
- minimal disruption to traffic (e.g. during bridge rehabilitation) or to other construction operations when casting cantilevered parapets
Higher efficiency and swift construction progress, as
- the pre-assembled system units are very quick and easy to set up
- the horizontal and vertical formwork are removed simultaneously, with a swivel/tilt motion
- spindle struts are used for easy and accurate formwork set-up
Site crew are given maximum protection, by
- high standards of both active and passive safety
- pre-mounted working platforms ready for immediate use
- all-round scaffolding tubes for rugged side protection
- a built-in gravity brake which prevents any unwanted travelling of the forming wagon

Pre-assembled reinforcing cages can simply be hoisted into place from above.

System
Main areas of use
- medium to long bridge superstructures
- medium to high numbers of re-use cycles
- 'section-at-a-time' travelling
- rehabilitation of existing bridge superstructures
- cantilevered parapets with wide sidewalk spaces
- curve radii of 250 m and above
High standard of safety
- all-round, three-part side railings
- completely gapless platform decking
- separate working and erection platforms
- built-in gravity brake secures the forming wagon against accidental travelling
Flexibly adjustable
Thanks to the modular design concept of the load-bearing construction, and to the use of formwork elements assembled from Top 50 system components, just about any cross-section of cantilevered parapet can be accommodated.
Gravity brake
- automatically activated by gravity
Easy to operate
- high flexibility in terms of possible formwork configurations
- high degree of pre-assembly
- any type of suspension point can be used
