Installation and operation instruction of HCB50

Brief introduction
The power of the HCB-50 climbing formwork system is the hydraulic system,which

includes the oil cylinder and inverting box.The inverting box can control the climbing of the
steel rail or the bracket.The steel rail and the bracket can inter-climbing,so the whole
system will climb up steadily.Cranes are not needed during the construction.Its easy to
operate,highly active and safe. Its the best choice for the construction of high buildings
and towers.There are mainly four parts in the whole system:formwork system,anchor
system,bracket system and hydraulic system.

1.1Formwork system
To first choice formwork system of timber beam and plywood because of the work
high above the ground which use light weight and high-strength formwork system,:

flange clamp

1.2 Anchor system

There are four parts in this system,they are anchor plate, high-strength bolt, Tensile
bolt and V-climbing cone.

1.3 Bracket system

Bracket system is the important support part of the whole system. The primary
parts are:upper platform,vertical waling,climbing bracketretrusive set,wall-attached
support,anchor shoes,steel rail, suspended platform.

1.3.1 Upper platform

Put the board on the adjustable-pitch
handrail will from the upper platform.The
adjustable-pitch handrail is fixed on the
beam,Its angle can be adjusted to make sure
its horizontal when the formwork system is
adjustable-pitch handrail

climbing,which will be convenient for workers

to work.

for platform

Its the most important

support part in the whole
system.Compared with the
formwork HCB-50,the brace
for climbing bracket
is
replaced by pull-push prop,
the length of the pull-push
prop can be adjusted, which
is the structure base of the
HCB-50 system can climb
slantways.

1.3.4Retrusive set
Retrusive set is fixed on the top of the
beam for climbing bracket.The gear in the
retrusive set is joggle with the gear rack
Retrusive set assembly

on the beam for climbing bracket.So the

set can move along the beam.

1.3.5 Wall-attached support

One side is fixed on the end of the upriht for the
climbing bracket,the other side props tightly on the
wall.Its function is support and fixation the system.

Wall-attached support

1.3.6 Anchor shoe

Anchor shoe is the most important bearing parts in the whole formwork system.One
side is fixed with the anchor system,the other side is fixed with clymbing bracket.There
are two kinds of anchor shoes,they are single anchor shoe and double anchor
shoe.Thereinto,the double anchor shoe can bear more pressure,so we can make choice
according to the demand.

1.3.7 Main beam head

One side is hung on the anchor
system,the other side is fixed with the
climbing bracket. Its function is connecting
the anchor system and the clymbing
bracket.

1.3.8 Steel rail

Steel rail
Steel rail is the orbit of the formwork
systems climbing.The climbing direction is
changed by the inverting box which is the
important carry-over force parts between
the bracket and steel rail.It can control the
climbing of the steel rail or the bracket.The
steel rail and the bracket can interclimbing.

1.3.9 Suspended platform

Suspended platform assembly
Suspended platform is fixed under the whole
formwork system.Its convenient for workers
to backout the anchors and do clearing work.

1.4 Hydraulic system

It includes the console of hydraulic power unit, oil cylinder, synchronous valve,hose,
hydraulic valve and power distrabution device.

2.Assembly process of the system

1. Assemble the climbing bracket.

3. The hoisting of the climbing bracket.

2. Fix the platform board.

4. Consolidate the girder and fix

all the platforms.

5. The hoisting of the formwork and the

4The safe operation of management

4.1 It must wear a seatbelt and the necessary protective equipmentto install anchor and
bracket. high-strength bolt and v-climbing cone connection must be tightened, to brush
the antisticking agent on v-climbing cone so as to easyly removal.
4.2 Concrete strength must be above 10MPa so that it can climb.

4.3 The climbing operation can not do if the night light no good enough.
4.4 The climbing operation can not do when in thunderstorms, strong winds (more than
8), fog, snow and other adverse weather conditions.
4.5 Pump Station should be operated by specially-assigned person and other people
can not operate, the pressure of hydraulic pump must be less than 16MPa when
hydraulic pump is working.
4.6 When climbing formwork all the personnel must leave the mold except the operator,,
when climb up in place other work can do.
4.7 It must set the warning limit about three meters distance around the climb formwork
when climbing and all the people can not enter.
4.8 Before Climb up the steel rail and the bracketsthe operator must check whether
the machine is running normally and the normal can be climbing, ready all the tools and
put less thing on the bracket before to climb.
4.9 The operator has to train strictly they can operate independently after the Project
Department approved.
4.10 when climbing up, the bracket may not put heavy things.

5. Matched moulds
5.1 To clean up the formwork, brush the antisticking agent, install the anchor system
before matched moulds.
5.2 To measure the location of the formwork tie rod hole, it cant conflict with steel bar.
5.3 To remove the formwork and close to the surface of concrete.
5.4 To adjust the formwork verticality with line or equipment .
5.5 To plug into chamfering hob.
5.6 Put the bushing and the tie rod together and tighten each bolt .
5.7 To check theformwork verticality and fasten each sway brace.
5.8 Pouring the concrete.

6Removal of formwork
6.1 To remove the shuttering when the strength of concrete reach the requirements.
6.2 To remove all of the through walls high-strengh bolts and exposed corners, taking
the tie rod (including the bevel tie rod, etc.).
6.3 To pull out the chamfering hob pin.
6.4 To remove the formwork backwards (the formwork can be moved(600mm-700mm),
and then plug into the chamfering hob pin.

7. Removal of hydraulic climbing frame

7.1 To remove the formwork with tower crane.
7.2 To remove the formwork above the main platform truss system with tower crane.
7.3 To take out steel rail with tower crane.
7.4 To remove the hydraulic unit and the distribution unit
7.5 To remove the hydraulic console desk of the main platform bridge, lifting the
hydraulic control station suspended and some hydraulic unit.

7.6 The operators should stand at the platform and remove equipment for wall-attached
and the v-climbing cone .
7.7 Lifting the climbing bracket and the suspended platform with tower crane and stop
when reach the appropriate height, remove the highest equipment for wall-attached and
the v-climbing cone and repair the holes from v-climbing cone.
7.8 Finally, to remove bracket which connected with the ladder or lift , the operator set
down hook and remove equipment for wall-attached and the v-climbing cone, the
operator should leave from the elevator or the ladder and then lift the last bracket .
