Scaffold-free cantilever formwork for steel composite and precast concrete bridges

VARIOKIT VCB Cantilever Bracket

Scaffold-free cantilever formwork for steel composite and precast concrete bridges

The VARIOKIT cantilever bracket VCB helps with the fabrication of bridge superstructures built with steel composite or semi-finished concrete methods. It is permanently fixed to the bridge structure and is moved by crane. The main fields of application are usually bridges with a length up to 150m, as above this length a parapet track method is usually more appropriate. 

Using the VARIOKIT construction kit, combined with special anchoring parts, produces a highly cost-effective rentable solution for many different applications. The anchoring can be either operated from below or from above, and the system adapted to meet required working methods and structure dimensions through our in-house engineering support teams. 


VARIOKIT VCB Cantilever Bracket in action

  • Both for short crossings for railway, highway or a side roads, but also in case of large required material quantities, the cantilever bracket offers cost-effective and efficient solutions. Decisive advantages are the fast assembly, the low own weight and the mounting with standard anchoring material.
    Versatile for many applications

    The bracket can be individually adjusted to the cantilever geometry as required.

  • GT 24 wooden lattice girders transfer the loads into the formwork units and allow large spans with minimal deflection.
    Simple attachment

    The cantilever bracket can be attached without penetrating the carriageway slab, saving significant time and cost. 

  • The VCB Cantilever Bracket is the construction kit solution for the realization of cantilevers on bridges.
    Lightweight

    The lightweight formwork units ensure fast and easy moving to the next concreting section possible with a crane.
