PRODUCT BROCHURE

Product OverviewAscent-formwork is a new guided climbing formwork system from RMD Australia. RMD developed Ascent-F with our customers to provide cutting edge equipment, which speeds cycle times and reduces labour costs. Ascent-F can also be operated hydraulically, which saves on crane costs and means you can operate in high wind or when the crane is being used elsewhere significantly improving cycle times.

FasterAscent-F is a new guided climbing formwork system developed to speed cycle times and reduce labour costs

Ascent-F can be lifted in high winds. If there's no crane or is it's being used somewhere else on the project, the Ascent hydraulic system can be used avoiding lost project time

Wall brackets can be quickly pre-mounted on the cast-in wall anchor before adding the connecting bolt. This is a fast job for a single worker

SaferAscent-F masts are safely extended as the equipment rises, giving significant time, labour and site space advantages

Safety and peace of mind for workers, because the highly visible Ascent Latch connects securely with the Ascent Wall Brackets. ELEV (Electronic Latch Engagement Verification) system further enhances operator confidence

Ascent components have been developed with manual handling and safety in mind. Pre-assembly of equipment can be carried out without cranes at ground level

EasierSuitable for a diverse range of projects. Constructs piers and straight or curved walls sloping by up to 20 degrees

At the end of the job, Ascent platforms can be removed by raising, lowering or moving directly away from the building thereby reducing required crane height

Ascent is suitable for all formwork systems, and can do inclined, stepped, circular or straight surfaces. Safety features were completely integrated into the system

Ascent-Formwork Is innovative, craned or self-climbing formwork.PRODUCT BROCHURE

ApplicationsGuided climbing formwork system for core and wall applications in multi-storey situations. Also highly suitable for LNG/CSG tanks. In fact it's suitable for a range of concrete slabs up to 450mm thick. Comes in 3 basic option variants.

Option 1The lowest cost option, which is used when the wall brackets and anchors can be retrieved from the following construction levels. This option requires two wall brackets and anchors per lift

Option 2This option is used when wall brackets and anchors need to be recovered from the wall with the progress of work. It requires a single wall bracket and anchor per wall lift

Option 3The option used when wall brackets and anchors need to be recovered from the wall with the progress of work and concrete finishing and/or hydraulic wall climbing are required. This option requires a single wall bracket and anchor per wall lift

Features & BenefitsAscent-Formwork is a new guided climbing formwork system developed with our customers, to speed cycle times and reduce labour costs. Ascent is fully adaptable to fit all formwork systems, and is suitable for inclined, stepped, circular or straight surfaces. All necessary safety features are completely integrated.

VersatileAscent-Formwork can be used with all formwork, including systems customers already have.

Starts from the first wall liftThe masts are safely extended in-situ, speeding early construction cycles, reducing labour and saving valuable site space.

Can be lifted in high winds and if no cranage is availableThe easy to use Ascent hydraulic system can be used to ensure you meet those tight construction deadlines.

Peace of mind for operativesThe highly visible Ascent latch connects securely with the Ascent Wall Brackets.

Components developed with manual handling in mindPre-assembly of equipment can be carried out without cranes at ground level.

Makes the job easyWall brackets can be pre-mounted on the cast-in wall anchor before adding the connecting bolt, making this a fast job for a single operative.

Increases your optionsAt the end of the job Ascent platforms can be removed by raising, lowering or moving directly away from the building, reducing the required crane height.

In DetailMast & Latch

Ascent Mast - StrengthManufactured from ultra-high yield, steel plate giving excellent strength to weight ratio making both manual and crane handling far easier.

Ascent Mast - Function through designInnovative design features include, mast mounts on first wall lift, no need to remove from the wall to extend length and an integral mast hook for mast extension.

Ascent Latch - Visual indicationManufactured from robust cast steel and brightly coloured for easy visual checking of engagement. The latch can be placed anywhere along a mast on a 150mm module, even at mast joints.

Ascent Latch - Design ingenuityThe Ascent latch includes a number of ingenious design features. It's spring loaded to ensure positive return action, a protected position between the mast webs which ensures snag-free operation, stowable in the retracted position so equipment can be lowered for removal if required. In addition, electronic verification of engagement is available, which is the red light pictured.

In DetailBracket & Hydraulics

Wall Bracket - Attach and guideThe Ascent Wall Bracket is used to attach the masts to the wall and provide guidance during lifting. Smoothly chamfered leading and trailing edges guide the mast through the wall brackets during lifting or lowering.

Wall Bracket - Optimised for usageOptimised to reduce weight and make manual handling easier. Other features include - removable mast guides which allow equipment to be craned directly away from the wall and an integrated handle, for easy carrying.

Wall Bracket - Cost reducingThe bracket is lightweight at only 13.2kg. A projecting boss on the rear of the bracket locates into the recess on the embedded anchor, enabling a labour saving single-man fix or removal of the bracket from the wall.

Hydraulic system - Maintain cycle timesEnables movement of the platforms without the need for a crane, useful during conditions when the crane is either winded off or is servicing other trades, allowing work to continue and maintaining fast cycle times.

Hydraulic system - Simple connectionThe system attaches to the bracket using a simple pin connection and is fully interchangeable between platform modules

Hydraulic system - Utilise onsite powerMovement is controlled by a single unit, powered by a 415v, 3 phase power, with equal raise speeds for safe, smooth movement.

In DetailRack and Trolley - Shaft Latch & Pocket

Rack and Trolley - Simple and easyThe Ascent Rack and Trolley assembly pins into the mast and attaches the formwork and main platform to the masts to enable Form adjustment. The smooth rack and pinion operation makes form movement easy along the 0.75m form roll-back.

Rack and Trolley - A range of movementsFurther adjustments come courtesy of diagonal turnbuckles which allow form tilt and the form jack which enables level and sideways transit.

Rack and Trolley - SafeA wedge action safety brake prevents accidental form movement - certified lifting shackles for safe raising of the platform. To ensure the assembly works smoothly, protected lubrication points are fitted and system covers are available to protect the running gear.

Shaft Latch and Pocket - Simple connectionsUsed with Superslim Soldiers to make a platform inside the shaft or core. The assembly, which is adjustable for length in 60mm increments, connects simply to each end of a Superslim Soldier and is adjustable in level from the platform.Shaft Latch and

Pocket - Integrated featuresDetails such as a robust latch which ensures positive engagement with every lift and a nylon wheel for snag-free lifting without marking the concrete face.

In DetailAccess and Wall Anchor Options

Access - Easier and saferA comprehensive range of access and safety equipment completes the system and enables free movement of workers to and between all work areas throughout the forming and lifting cycle.

Access - VersatileA level working platform with no trip hazards, mesh edge protection with toe board. Stop-end guardrails ensure safety during platform movement and an alloy ladder system with dedicated hatch locations provide safe access between levels.
