Climbing solutions for any

geometry

Conventional climbing
systems are formwork
support structures used to
pour high walls in several
casting steps.

BMK BRACKETS - Highly versatile brackets for all types of climbing applications

MK Brackets are made up of standard

7
MK Walers and other accessories together
with some specific items for the brackets.

Standard MK Walers offer great versatility 9

with a low number of parts.
3
The MK Brackets can be adapted to different
configurations and therefore are ideal for
use on inclined and circular walls. 6
Since MK brackets are made of bolted
independent walers, they can be dismantled
to minimize transport material volume.

Two standard configurations are available. 8 2

Both configurations can be placed face to

 SINGLE-SIDED CLIMBING BRACKETS

These types of brackets are used to cast single sided

vertical and inclined walls, such as on dams, canals,
cooling towers and tunnels.

As no tie rods are used in these applications, the

brackets are designed to carry the loads coming from
the concrete pressure. The brackets are made up of
welded high strength profiles and are compatible with
MK Brackets and MK system.

As with conventional double sided climbing, the

formwork can be lifted simultaneously with the
brackets and working platforms.

The brackets also allow casting inclined walls while

keeping the horizontal working platforms that enable
safe working conditions.

There are two possible configurations: Tilt-back bracket SBF-185 and a

Roll-back bracket SBM-240:

KSP SHAFT PLATFORMS - Formwork support for hollow shafts

The KSP Shaft Platform is the suitable product for supporting formwork

System advantages panels at the inner side of elevator shafts, hollow piers and other similar
applications. This system is typically combined with conventional climbing
brackets on the wall’s external face.

• The KSP platforms are made up of standard
and modular items, mainly walers and timber
beams, able to reach any shaft dimension.
• The Gravity pawl is adaptable to all type of
ULMA standard walers and adjustable to get
different waler lengths.
Based on the type of anchors used, two main solutions are possible:
• Gravity pawl with box-out: Used mainly in civil engineering to construct hollow piers
and hollow shafts. The pawl rests on the hollow left on the wall by the internal box-
out.
• Folding bracket with bracket support: Used mainly in building construction and
01A100ENM

for internal fair face walls. In this case, no cavity is required on the wall, and the
• The various formwork types are easy to adjust. bracket support rests on the folding bracket, which is fixed to the wall by means of
a DW15 Cone.
