About HORIZON FORMWORK CO., LTD.

Product Focus: Climbing Formwork CB240

  • Crane-dependent climbing system for high-rise walls
  • Dual function: load-bearing & safe working platform
  • Platform height: >100m, Max formwork panel: 5.40m
  • Widely used for skyscrapers, core walls, bridges, dams

Industry Trends: Climbing Formwork Technology

Modern construction, particularly skyscraper and core wall erection, demands higher safety, speed, and reliability. The evolution of climbing formwork—spanning innovations like self-climbing formwork, climbing scaffolding bracket, china climbing system formwork, semi-automatic and automatic climbing formwork—addresses these needs head-on. According to the “International Journal of Civil Engineering and Technology,” the climbing system market is growing at a CAGR of over 9.8% from 2022 to 2030[1], propelled by broader adoption in high-rise and infrastructural mega-projects.

Industry insights from global formwork forums emphasize OEM customization (e.g., OEM self climbing formwork system, OEM climbing formwork for core wall) and the integration of digital monitoring as critical trends.

Application Scenarios & System Types

Climbing formwork is essential for concrete construction projects exceeding 30 meters, and especially advantageous for core walls, elevator shafts, shear walls in high-rises, bridges, and dams.
System alternatives include:

  • Climbing formwork for high-rise building
  • Self-climbing formwork (hydraulic, electric, automatic)
  • Climbing scaffolding bracket (load platform, service access)
  • China climbing system formwork (OEM customization, standards compliance)
  • China semi automatic/automatic climbing systems
  • Climbing formwork for core wall
  • OEM & custom climb scaffolding

Selection depends on project height, geometry, wind load, panel weight, and construction rhythm. Digital sensor integration (load, height, wind) and OEM formwork climbing anchors are increasingly specified for performance and safety.

Professional FAQ: Climbing Formwork Systems

1. What materials are mainly used for modern climbing formwork systems?

Most premium climbing formworks (like CB240) use high-strength structural steel (grade S355/S460), highly wear-resistant plywood/phenolic panels, and galvanized steel platforms for durability, load capacity, and safety. OEM systems can specify tailored steel profiles and anchorage details for specialized requirements.

2. What is the standard platform width for climbing formwork in high-rise projects?

Typical widths range from 2.0m to 2.4m for working and safety platforms (CB240 offers 2.4m as standard), but OEM custom climbing scaffolding brackets allow tailoring up to 3.0m for complex applications or heavy equipment access.

3. How are climbing processes controlled and what standards apply?

Process control employs EN 12812, EN ISO 9001, and GB/T 50308 quality standards. Hydraulic/electric self-climbing systems integrate digital sensors; crane-based models use mechanical locking anchors & load detection. All must comply with local work safety codes (e.g., CE, OSHA, GB).

4. What is the maximum pour height and load capacity for the CB240 system?

Climbing Formwork CB240 handles a maximum formwork height of 5.40m per lift, and typical load capacities reach up to 35 kN/m², exceeding standard requirements for reinforced concrete wall pours in skyscraper construction.

5. Can climbing formwork be used in extreme weather?

Yes. Advanced OEM self climbing formwork systems and climbing scaffolding brackets incorporate wind load locks, anti-slip surfaces, and weather-resistant coatings, allowing safe operation up to wind speeds of 72km/h and temperatures from -25°C to +45°C.

6. What makes OEM climbing formwork systems advantageous?

OEM climbing formworks deliver project-specific geometry, specialized anchors, and workflow optimizations for core walls, irregular shafts, and custom layouts. These OEM features—when provided by experienced manufacturers in China—cut on-site adjustment time, helping global contractors meet aggressive schedules under budget.

7. How does the CB240 compare to automatic self-climbing systems?

While CB240 is crane-dependent (practical for core walls and parallel pours), automatic self-climbing options (hydraulic/electric) are used for uninterrupted, round-the-clock cycles in super-tall towers and infrastructure mega-projects. Both support excellent safety and precision but differ in automation and operational rhythm.
