RCS-2 Climbing Device and Hydraulics
Assembly Instructions
Introduction
Regular assembly
General
The climbing mechanism for the RCS-
2 Automatic Climbing System consists
of:
■
Climbing Device-2 RCS 50
■
Hydraulic Unit RCS MAX 2x 210bar,
380-460V
■
Climbing Shoe RCS
■
Climbing Rail RCS,
with Climbing Rail Extension RCS if
required
Applications
With the help of the Climbing Hydrau-
lics RCS, climbing units can be moved
vertically without using a crane.
Standard falsework structures:
■
Guided Climbing Formwork RCS C
■
Light Climbing Formwork RCS CL
For special applications, the design en-
gineer must check whether additional
or alternative measures are required for
the climbing procedure. These meas-
ures are to be shown and described in
the operational or assembly plans.
The constructional systems presented
in these Assembly Instructions are
shown in the form of examples with
only one component size. They are valid
for all component sizes contained in the
standard configuration.

Technical data
Functionality
The Climbing Device-2 RCS 50 is posi-
tioned on the Climbing Shoe RCS. The
Climbing Shoe RCS is anchored to the
building by means of a wall or slab
shoe. The climbing device works to-
gether with the pawl in the climbing
shoe. The claw on the piston engages
with the climbing bolts (spacers in the
Climbing Rail RCS) and pushes both of
them, together with the falsework
structure, upwards. At the end of the
stroke, the pawl in the climbing shoe
engages with another climbing bolt.
Once the cylinder is retracted, the pawl
carries the load and the claw circum-
vents the next climbing bolt. After this,
the claw engages with this climbing
bolt.
