VARIANT 

FACTORY LTD.

The SM - frame units are assembled in identical fashion for use with Large-Area formwork 
or Framed formwork.
The SM - frame units must be correctly braced with scaffold tubes to have stated load 
bearing capacity.

As far as the height of the concrete wall increases, the concrete mixture pressure grows. 
Choice of applicable frames depends on the concreting height.
The distance between the support frames is to be determined depending on the actual 
pressure of the concrete mixture.

The supporting modular frame units are formed by combining of supporting or attachable 
frames in one block by means of bracing. The modular units shall be correctly braced with 
scaffold tubes to attain the stated capacity. Adaptability of the supporting modular frame 
units allows to form single-sided walls up to the required pouring height from 3.00 to  
8.00 m by combining:

- Supporting frame 4.50 m;
- Attachable frame 1.50 m;
- Attachable frame 2.00 m.
