● Screw-on access bracket MF75 (A)
- The Screw-on access bracket MF75 is mounted
directly to the Vertical waling MF.
B
- On sloping walls, the inclination of the platform
can be adjusted with the Swivel plate MF.
● Universal bracket 90 or Framax bracket 90
D - Choose the relevant type of bracket, depending
on the formwork system being used (timber-beam
or framed formwork).
Travelling unit
C ● Vertical waling MF 3.00m or 4.50m (B)
- For holding the formwork elements.
● Travelling gear MF (C)
E - The formwork elements can be retracted approx.
75 cm from the concrete. This leaves sufficient
space for cleaning the formwork and carrying out
reinforcement operations.
● Plumbing spindle MF 3.00m or 4.50m (D)
- A threaded spindle for obtaining exact plumbing

● Vertical profile (F)
- Vertical profile MF80 for use on straight walls
H - Vertical profile MF160 for use on inclined walls
● Pressure struts MF or Pressure spindle MF240

Transporting, stacking and storing

The following instructions must be complied with when
storing and transporting separate parts or assemblies.
This ensures careful, safe treatment of the equipment:
● The parts must be onloaded and off-loaded, trans-
ported and stacked in such a way that it is not possi-
ble for them to fall off, tip over or slide apart.
● Only set down the parts or assembly units on flat,
firm, clean surfaces.
● Spread-angle β of slinging chains: max. 30°.
● Do not detach parts from the lifting straps until they
have been safely set down.
● When transporting the equipment by truck, bundle
the components or otherwise secure them against
slippage, or else transport them in suitable contain-
ers.
● Protect all components against soiling, as this pro-
longs their service life.
● Clearly arranged, logical storage arrangements
reduce the time needed for assembly.
● Using intermediate packing timbers during storage
and transport lessens the risk of damage.
