Internal landing platforms

Landing platforms are used internally
on cores and liftshafts to provide a
safe working area for fixing and
supporting the formwork. These can
be used independently of the
climbing brackets in more
conventional construction for the
same purpose.
Telscopic plumbing adjuster

Wall fixing
Single wall fixings are used utilizing
either an Anchor Cone +
Recoverable Anchor or a Through
Bolt set-up is used on thinner walls.
The Housing Shoe is an integral part
of the bracket enabling easier
location when moving the formwork.

Internal platforms can be

manufactured to suit any size or
shape of shaft and may be made
adjustable to allow for re-use on
different shaft dimensions.

The counter-balanced shoe rests in a

pocket in the wall and allows the
platform to be moved vertically up the
internal opening without any
dismantling, re-erection or operatives
riding on the platform.
