The indisputable #1 handset formwork
Framed formwork Frami Xlife
Fast Forming of Concrete Walls, Cores, Foundations, and Columns
Frami Xlife is a complete system, which also comprises high-performance safety and workplace accessories. The Frami Xlife panels are lightweight and easy to handle, so they can be erected very quickly by hand, without the use of a crane. On sites with a crane, it is also possible to lift several panels at a time, in a gang-form. The ingenious modular design makes for optimum adaptability to all job site conditions.
Frami Xlife is a complete formwork system for walls,
The ingenious modular design
gives you unlimited possible combinations, in both width and height. You can use the panels either upright or horizontal, and the 6" increment together with the steel fillers (2", 1 ½", 1") gives you optimum adaptability of the formwork to the dimensions of the structure, at all times.
Thanks to lightning fast assembly
This is how it is accomplished

- 75% fewer ties with only two ties for a 9ft. high pour, up to 13.5sq.ft. per tie
- Uses the lightest fastest clamp - only 2.6 lbs. and it goes on with one hand
- No wood walers are required
Switching to gang forming at any time
The strong system allows
- Gang forming with no additional hardware

Handset formwork system Frami Xlife:
Rugged enough to be moved
Utilization
Quick panel connection
Save time in assembly with only 3 lightweight Frami clamps per 9 ft. verical join. Just one blow with a hammer and the panels are joined and aligned.
Corners and Pilasters
The corner solutions are based on the strong, torsion-proof Frami inside corner. The Frami ouside corner is an easy and problem free way of forming corners in narrow trench situations or where large wall thicknesses are called for.
Cores
The Framax stripping ocrner is compatible to the Frami Xlife, making stripping a core a snap. Just a simple ratchet action in each corner and all is ready to be set into the next floor.
Frami Ties
Frami Xlife uses a lightweight high strength taper tie 1" - 3/4" with 5/8" ends. It combines the advantages of the taper tie with convenience of the Doka super plate, only one size and only one piece for each side. The bolts are also available when inner units with water stop are required.

Jason Smith, Project Manager Gulf Building:
The Frami and Framax system are very versatile, they can accommodate small to large size columns. We have used them all over the job from our foundations to the 30 - 40 fet high stackable column areas.

![Testimonial Eric]()
Eric Morales, General Superintendent Gulf Building:
We use Frami for all the sheer walls. Now we are using the Dokamatic Table and Staxo system which works great for the higher elevations. It's sturdy, durable, and I can honestly say Doka has been good for us. They have been servicing us properly, on-time, we haven't had any problems.

Micky Manual, Foreman Pankow Builders:
The Frami system is good. Once you connect it all together you can pick it as one and set it back. You don't have to break it back down and put it back together.
