RMD Kwikform Middle East’s launch of its innovative new ‘Tru-lift’ self climbing core formwork system is set to boost productivity for customers and the region, setting a new standard for core forming systems, challenging the existing products on the market, whilst delivering great value.

 

The innovative new ‘Tru-lift’ self-climbing core formwork system, brought specifically to the Middle East market by RMD Kwikform, is a proven World-beating, simple to use system, that is set to transform the way high-rise buildings are constructed throughout the region.

 

Having already been the product of choice for numerous challenging projects around the globe and particularly in America, Tru-lift has been adapted by RMD Kwikform to meet the needs of the Middle East market.

 

With productivity and safety built into the overall design, the new self-lifting system will be able to form cores up to 5 metres in height in a single lift, minimising cycle times to make it one of the most efficient self climbing core systems on the market.

 

In addition to productivity benefits, the safety conscious design of ‘Tru-lift’, with its fully decked top platform and self contained access system, allows for all materials required for the completion of the job, including the concrete boom, to be mounted safely on top and lifted with the system. Combine this with its in-built hydraulic system for safe lifting, eliminating the need to use cranes to operate the system, and the systems ability to accommodate all sizes of cores - the capabilities of ‘Tru-lift’ make it an ideal choice for all high-rise applications.

 

From a practical user experience and project delivery perspective, the use of unique striking corners enables the quick and easy release of wall formwork, whilst the minimal number of components required to assemble and erect the system, cuts programme time down still further. With the integrated trailing platform allowing for easy second fixings the efficiency gains to be made using ‘Tru-lift’ are substantial.

 

Commenting on the launch and the additional features offered by ‘Tru-lift’, Paul Williams, Managing Director for RMD Kwikform Middle East said: “Today’s launch of ‘Tru-lift’ marks a significant step forward for RMD Kwikform in the Middle East, not to mention our customers, who have been looking to us to provide them with an innovative, value added approach to climbing formwork for some time. As the leading formwork supplier in the region, we had until now been missing this vitally important product, which compliments our existing product range.

 

“As with all of our products, systems and formwork solutions ‘Tru-lift’ is no different, throughout its development we have listened to our customers, who recognise the benefits of both our system strength and engineering expertise and now delivered a product that they know will help them deliver high quality projects on time and on budget.

 

“What is particularly impressive with ‘Tru-lift’ is the safety and ease of operation. By taking time to bring a product like ‘Tru-lift’ to the market, we have been able to build in important benefits, like making sure concrete can be placed through the top working platform via ply hatches in the upper deck – a safe and efficient option.

 

“Similarly we have recognized, through experience that customers don’t want to use costly sacrificial hardware and this is why with ‘Tru-lift’, reusable tapered ties are used, providing cost efficiency.”

 

External panels supported by overhead beams allow for easy panel setting/retraction, cleaning and rebar fixing. Connection points for climbing are made possible from inserts cast into the previous pour, completing the key ‘Tru-lift’ product benefits, the system is set to make a major impact on the high-rise construction market throughout the Middle East.
