Introduction
RCS Climbing Device and Hydraulics
Assembly Instructions
When climbing with climbing hydraulics,
details regarding the arrangement of the
hydraulic hoses must be considered.
In the case of malfunctions
– lower platform to the next possible
position and secure.
– leave the climbing unit in the safest
way possible.
– an authorised person is to be informed
immediately!
Maintenance and repairs
– Only use materials which are in perfect
condition.
– Components of the climbing systems
are to be checked for signs of damage
by qualified personnel and authorised
persons on a regular basis. Dirt which
affects functionality is to be removed
immediately.
– Damaged components are to be
inspected, removed and replaced.
– Determine the cause of any damage
that occurs on a recurring basis and
rectify.
PERI climbing hydraulics may not
be used if the type plate is missing,
incomplete or illegible.
Protection against falling objects
Secure tools and materials to prevent
them from falling to the ground.
Concrete residue and other dirt deposits
are to be removed.
Avoid positioning working areas and
access points in areas of risk. If this is
not possible due to work procedures,
suitable equipment (e.g. protective roofs)
must be available to provide protection
against falling objects. This also applies
to work requiring only a short period of
time.
Operational working areas at great
heights are to be secured against
falling objects by means of appropriate
constructional measures. Safety nets
(mesh size ≤ 2 cm) and planking are
considered to be suitable here, and
are to be installed very close (distance
≤ 5 cm) to the building.
Climbing procedure
Anchoring of the climbing units in the
next concreting section is only to be
carried out after the required concrete
strength has been reached.
As a result of the moving procedure,
leading edges are formed between the
platforms. If work is carried out in this
area, site personnel must be secured
(e.g. through rope protection). Cordon
off the area of risk!
During the moving procedure, neither
persons nor construction materials or
tools are allowed to be transported.
