Column formwork KS Xlife
The high-speed column formwork with a folding mechanism
- formwork is simply folded open and shut, minimising erection and striking times
- wide adjusting range allows many different column cross-sections between 20 and 60 cm to be formed in a 5 cm grid, without having to change system
- achieves immaculate fair-faced concrete quality because the form-facing is screwed-on from the rear, and there are no form-tie points or frame imprints
- high numbers of re-use cycles and fewer changes of form-facing, thanks to the extremely hard-wearing plastic coating
- the improved surface makes it easy to clean, also with a high-pressure washer, and means that fewer areas need repair
- special sheet structure means sheet can also be nailed at low temperatures without splintering
- column formwork units can be repositioned in a single crane cycle without being dismantled, which saves crane time
- up to a formwork height of 3.60 m, the units can be repositioned in the horizontal with no need for a crane, on shifting-wheels
- safe vertical access with the Ladder system XS
- workplace safety on all sides with column-formwork platforms
- practical accessories – such as panel struts, lifting/repositioning devices etc. – make for safe, easy handling of the formwork

System
Quick to plumb and align
The positioning aid makes it possible to plumb and align the formwork easily and quickly using a nail-puller.
Clean edges
The frontal triangular ledge is easy to slot into place and ensures tight, clean corners.
Framax Xlife sheet
- very high numbers of re-use cycles possible, thanks to plastic-enhanced surface and special sheet structure
- fewer positive imprints, due to the sheet's great resistance to scratching and vibrator damage
- fewer areas needing repair, as there is no splintering and far less swelling around nail-holes
- easy, fast (intermediate) cleaning, also using high-pressure washer
Utilisation
Craneless repositioning
When shifting wheels are attached, Column formwork KS units with heights of up to 3.60 m can be wheeled and repositioned on the same level. The four Shifting wheels KS per column are easy to clamp onto the formwork and save a great deal of crane time when manually repositioning the units in the horizontal.
Imprint-free concrete finish
The form-ply is screwed-on from the rear, ensuring fair-faced concrete quality that is free of screw-head imprints.
