The ideal solution for circular buildings and for monolithic concreting of slabs and walls.

The self- climbing version, ACS G (G = gallows), functions with one bracket which makes it possible to hang both formwork sides on one gallow. Even the opposite working platform is attached to the same gallow. The formwork elements suspended on the gallows are easily movable and simple to adjust. On circular buildings, the formwork trolley beams are arranged parallel whereas the brackets are radially arranged.

Also with this system, the ACS 100 climbing mechanism ensures safe and smooth operating sequences when moving - without the need of a crane.

Advantages
  • Crane-independent
    Crane-independent forming, striking and climbing speeds up the work procedures on the construction site and also makes them independent of each other. This means the planned sequences can be maintained along with guaranteeing high productivity levels. The crane can therefore be used for other tasks.
  • Climbing in all weathers
    The PERI ACS can be climbed during all conditions which means that weather-related delays in the construction progress are avoided. In order to provide protection against the weather, the working platforms can be enclosed. The comfortably designed platforms allow safe and efficient working routines as on the ground.
  • High bearing capacity and safe
    The stable working platforms are able to carry large loads, e.g. the storage of reinforcing steel for the next climbing section. Generously-sized working platforms, the well thought-out design for handling very high wind loads and the patented control function of the climbing mechanism are some of the special details contained within the comprehensive safety concept.
  • Slab and wall concreted in one pour
    The ACS G allows the wall and slab to be concreted in one pour. Shortened cycle times and significant cost savings in the reinforcement work required for the slabs make this type of construction method extremely cost-effective.
