CLIMBING
The CLIMBING BRACKET is the base component used
as support for the formwork when is necessary to climb
on both sides.
The climbing formwork slides vertically so the formwork
has no support on the ground. Because of this, it is
necessary to build a supporting platform for the
formwork at the required height. Said platform is built
using the CLIMBING BRACKETS for support.
This ORMA CLIMBING BRACKET is only used to cover
primary climbing needs on low walls 12-15m.
When climbing on both sides with high safety level
requirements or high heights, other climbing brackets

The CLIMBING BRACKETS are independent from the
panel gangs.
It is recommended to place a CLIMBING BRACKET
approximately every 2.4m, which comes out the same
for each large panel.

This method is only valid when climbing on both sides of
the wall, since it is necessary to place the climbing
components over the position of some of the formwork

The length of the tie rod connecting the cones

L = Thickness – 160mm. It will remain in the wall at
the end of the process.
