A1 System Overview

Climbing Unit
The assembly of the climbing scaffold
varies depending on the storey height
along with type of formwork and
­anti-fall protection used.

In all versions, the Climbing Rails (2)

are supported by Climbing Shoes (50)
36
and Wall Shoes (51) which are mounted
47
on pre-completed building parts. 25
As a general rule, the Climbing Rails
are divided.

form with Carriage and Strongbacks for 79
the formwork system are mounted on 24

are mounted on additional platform
beams.

General

Further information is provided in the

following sections as well as in the 60.1
separate Assembly Instructions for the
RCS Climbing Device and Hydraulics.

Climbing Device RCS 50

The Climbing Device RCS 50 facilitates

gradual climbing of the climbing form- 60
work.
After the climbing procedure is com-
pleted, the climbing formwork must be
placed on the climbing pawls of the
climbing shoes ensuring that the load
is fully supported. The Climbing Device
must be load-free.

Concreting the Starter

All versions can basically be climbed by
crane or using the hydraulic climbing
device.

When climbing with a crane, however,

the weight of the units may be limited
due to the crane load-bearing capacity.

When climbing with the hydraulic

climbing device, the weight is theoreti-
cally limited to 9 t.
Hydraulic climbing operations are only
possible from the third working cycle.

  Warning
■■ Risk of falling from unsecured
­building edges!
A fall can result in serious injury or
even death.
⇒⇒ Install guardrails.
⇒⇒ Use personal protective equipment
to prevent falling from a height
(PPE).
■■ During assembly on the construction
site, components may fall to the
ground and hit people below!
This could lead to serious injuries or
even death.
⇒⇒ Cordon off areas of risk under the
working areas.
⇒⇒ Only release the climbing unit
from the crane lifting gear when
all Climbing Shoes are closed and
the climbing unit fully rests on the
Climbing Shoes.

■■ Before attaching the RCS units

check the structure to ensure there
is sufficient load-bearing capacity.
■■ The assembly sequence assumes
that work is carried out for a short

Initial Moving Procedure

The initial moving procedure is

­carried out in part unguided by
Climbing Shoes. 25

  Warning
The climbing unit may move unexpect-
edly. As a result, persons in the vicinity
could be hit by components and
­injured. 50a
⇒⇒ Maintain an appropriate safety
­distance.
⇒⇒ Use a guide rope when moving
­components.
⇒⇒ Ropes are to be held so that they
can be released quickly at any time.
⇒⇒ Be prepared for any sudden move-
24
ments.

Moving
1. Release formwork anchor and the
mounting of Leading Anchor.
2. Remove transition areas and other
connections between the formwork
and climbing units.
3. Retract Carriage (24).
4. Mount top Climbing Shoe (50a),
see Section “Assembling the
­suspension” on page 108.
5. Attach crane lifting gear to top end
of the Strongback (25).
6. Personnel are to leave the working 8
platform.
7. Lift the bracket unit to the next
­concreting section using the crane.
→→ Climbing Rail Hinge (8) swivels
around the bottom Climbing Shoe
in the pressure position.
8. Insert the bracket unit from below
into the Climbing Shoes until both
climbing pawls audibly engage. Fig. C3.10
9. From a safe position, detach the
crane lifting gear.
(Fig. C3.10)
■■ In order to attach the climbing unit ■■ Are both Climbing Rails suspended
to the crane in a vertical position, correctly in both Climbing Shoes?
­determine the suitable return path ■■ Has the Climbing Rail Hinge

General

For pre-assembly, there must be a

­sufficiently large, level and load-­
bearing assembly area available.
In addition, allow sufficient space for
temporary storage.
A crane or other lifting equipment
is required.
Any intermediate status is to be
­correctly secured by means of
­temporary supports to prevent any
­tipping over.
Assembly is carried out on aligned

D1 Work Process in a Standard Cycle

For storey heights that are multiples of Components

50 cm, PERI recommends mounting an
additional Spacer as a defined support 50 Climbing Shoe RCS
in the Climbing Rails.

Step 1 – Concreting
Concrete the wall and slab with
­anchored formwork.
The vertical loads are transferred
through the middle Climbing Shoe
(50b) into the building.
Climbing Shoe, Wall Shoe and ­
Climbing Cone are functioning at
the height of the finishing platform.
(Fig. D1.01)

Step 2 – Striking
Release the mounting of the Leading
Anchor and execute striking.
Remove the Wall and Climbing Shoe
(50c) in the area of the finishing
­platform and mount in advance on
the new concreting section (50v).
Remove anchoring, close the anchor
hole if necessary. 50a
Alternatively, the advanced Wall and inactive
Climbing Shoe can be mounted after
climbing. (Fig. D1.02)

Step 3 – Self-Climbing
Use the Climbing Device on the middle
Climbing Shoe (50b) and connect it to
the Hydraulic Pump.
Climb in strokes of 50 cm.
In order to allow easier insertion: 50b

adjust the framework using the
­Framework Spindle.
Before the last lift: activate the

After completing the climbing

­procedure, the advanced Climbing
Shoe (50v) becomes the top 50c

Preparations

The load rests on the middle Climbing

Shoe (50b).
The self-climbing procedure takes
place from the middle Climbing Shoe.

Climbing is controlled from the

­intermediate platform of the adjacent
climbing unit. (Fig. D7.02)

Carry out preparatory work as

­described in Section “Preparations”
on page 117, carry out Points 1 – 8.

In addition:
1. Prepare the climbing hydraulics. See
“Assembly Instructions for the RCS
Climbing Device and Hydraulics”.
2. Ensure the Hydraulic Pump is
­available.
3. Pull through the hydraulic hoses
­between the wall and the climbing
rails ensuring there are no loops and
suspend them on the Wall Shoes 50b
with suitable means, e.g. rope or
Tension Belt (144). (Fig. D7.02)
