We will first insert a conical metal tube

into the concrete pillars (approximately

50% of those of the surface to reinforce)

in order facilitate the housing of the

Alsipercha.

Concrete Pillars - (Conical tube)

Metal Pillars - (Clip)

The Alsipercha fall prevention

system can also be used in metal pillars

profile type IPE, IPN, HEB, etc. and with

cross section between 15 and 45 cm. To

do so, we must use the assembly of the

metal pillar clip and metal pillar cup clip

parts. Both manufactured in compliance

with standard UNE EN-795 and certified

by Applus.

Detail of how the conical shape in the base

of the Alsipercha helps it being introduced

into the pillar tube.

Once the concrete has reached 40

Kg/cm2 (15% of its resistance) the

Alsipercha can be positioned.

We will then insert the system in

the conical tube and the operator willanchor to the retractable device with a

safety harness.

At this point, the operator can work

freely with an operating range of 6.5 m,

which means around 125 m2.

First we shall place the tubes in those

pillars (blue) in which we will insert the

fall arrester system.

Next we shall start the paneling

process from one end of the surface

and working secured within a radius of

6.5 m, which equals some 125 m2.

When changing anchor points between Alsiperchas, the

operator is always secure. If the Alsipercha is out of reach, use

the hook accessory to move it c loser.

The paneling of the su rface can be completed comfortably

and safely by several operators at the same time.

Europrop A3;

“An innovative post-shore that adds

many features to the “traditional

post-shore”, reducing the time

needed for form removal in a safe and

convenient way”

The incorporated release system means quicker form removal, reducing the post-

shore removal time approximately 80%, compared with a conventional post-shore.

ONLY ONE

HIT TORELEASE

ONLY ONE

HIT TORELEASE

The A3, with a tube and body anti-separation system, prevents the

tubes from falling; especially dangerous when using the crane.

With the A3, it has been possible to combine two contrasting properties in

one product: the lightness of the traditional Spanish post-shore and the high

resistance necessary for the strict European Standard EN-1065.

Because of the release system, it is not necessary to hit the lower part of

the post-shore body or the handles of the thread to remove it. This means

working less and less wear and tear on material.

Productivity: quick release

Safety

Load resistance

Durability

The releasing of the

Europrop A3 reduces the

post-shore removal time

from 19 seconds to 2.8 seconds

and only ONE hit

Drop head

The drop head with wood is a component of the

Alumecano and Alucubetas System. Its design facilitates

the removal of the surface formwork (Alisan panels,

three-ply panel, phenolic plywood or Alisan coffer).

Fundamental element for the safety of theAlumecano and Alucubetas slab systems

Fig. 1 - Double-supported drop head; mor e stable and secure

- Light and ergonomic to use because

it is made of Duralumin, preventing the

worker from suffering back injuries.

- Fixation system with two support

points; it does not depend on risky tensile

welds and so therefore is safer (Fig. 1)

- Provides a support of 4 cm to the

formwork sur face used.

- Rubber stoppers on the ends that

absorb the fall during form removal

operations.

- A high quality wood strip that allows

nailing and unnailing with total ease; it

prevents the movement of the panel.

- A design that, wh en pl ann in gfor form

removal, makes the operation safer.
