Instructions for assembly and use for high formwork
The sequence shown here is based on a straight wall.
However, you should always start to form from the cor-
ner outwards.
Ladders must be located so as to create viable 'traffic
routes' in the horizontal. (On a straight wall, for exam-
ple, one ladder on the first element and another on the
last).
Transporting / handling the panels
➤
For offloading panels from a truck, or lifting them on-
site a stack at a time, use the Framax transport gear
(see 'Transporting, stacking and storing').
➤
To separate the panels, use Framax transport bolts
and the Doka 4-part chain 3.20m (see 'Transporting,
stacking and storing').
Pre-assembly
➤
Pre-assemble elements face-down on an assembly
bench (see 'Inter-panel connections').
➤
Only mount the platforms, ladder system and panel
struts to the gang-form when this is in the flat position
(see 'Pouring platforms', 'Ladder system' and
'Plumbing accessories').
Closing the formwork
➤
Attach the lifting chain to the Framax lifting hook (see
the section headed 'Lifting by crane' and the Operat-
ing Instructions for the 'Framax lifting hook').
➤
Raise the gang-form by crane.
➤
Spray the formwork sheet with release agent (see
the section headed 'Cleaning and care of your equip-
ment').
➤
Fly the gang-form to its new location.
➤
Fix the panel struts firmly to the ground (see the sec-
tion headed 'Plumbing accessories').
The gang-form is now stable and can be plumbed
and aligned exactly, with no need for the crane.
➤
Detach the gang-form from the crane.
➤
Continue lining up further gang-forms in this way,
and link them together (see the section headed
'Inter-panel connections').

Spread angle β up to 7.5°:
1500
kg (3300
lbs) / Framax lifting hook
Framax lifting hooks with the rated load-bearing
capacity of max. 1000
kg (2200
lbs) also comply with
the requirements for a load bearing capacity of
1500
kg (3300
lbs) at a spread angle β
≤ 7.5°.

CAUTION
Never use a sledge-hammer to plumb and align
the panels!
This would damage the profiles of the gangs.
➤
Use only proper plumbing tools (e.g. a spe-
cial pry-bar) that cannot cause any damage.
WARNING
There is not yet an opposing guard-rail on the
formwork!
Danger to life from fatal falls!
➤
Either use personal protective equipment to
protect against falls (e.g. Doka personal fall-
arrest set)
or
mount an opposing guard-rail to the gang-
form while this is still being pre-assembled in
a flat position.
