Tableframe Heavy Duty Shoring Tower
Tableframe is a heavy duty shoring system of table-type towers used under high slab levels, heavy slab plates and thick or irregular slabs on projects such as bridges, power plants and industrial buildings. With its high load capacity it is erected quickly and easily. Its height can be adjusted to every storey, it is used safely under heavy loads, and it is a load-bearing tower system certified by TSE to TS EN 12813.
The system consists of three main components: load-bearing frames, diagonal braces and base and head jacks. The frames are connected with diagonal and horizontal members into a rigid, single-piece shoring tower. All components are manufactured in our factory in accordance with EN 12813 (TS EN), using pressure-tested, TSE-certified tubes. Each frame leg carries a standard load of up to 55 kN; towers for higher loads can be designed to your requirements.
Technical specifications
- Standard: EN 12813
- Load capacity: standard up to 55 kN per leg
- Standard frame sizes: 150 × 110 cm, 150 × 150 cm, 150 × 180 cm
- Frame tube: Ø60 × 3.00 mm / Ø60 × 4.00 mm / Ø60 × 5.00 mm
- Diagonal and horizontal members: Ø34 × 2.50 mm; horizontals 150 cm, diagonals from 170 cm
- Adjustable jacks: Ø48 mm, 75 - 120 cm long; ductile iron nut, 6 or 8 mm flat base plate (5 mm pressed plate on request)
- Top: four-way head or drop head
- Finish: hot-dip galvanized, electro-galvanized or painted
One system, several applications
- Table form (table transfer): Prefabricated formwork tables of 8 - 10 m² with H20 timber beams as primary and secondary beams are moved mainly with table trolleys; where needed, they can also be moved on castors fitted to the tower legs. With a special lifting fork they are moved between floors by tower crane.
- Stair tower: Adding stair modules to the standard components provides safe access to deep excavations and high levels. The tower is relocated in one piece by crane without being dismantled; the wide steps allow two people to pass side by side.
We test a sample from every production batch in our factory laboratory.
Why Tableframe?
55 kN per Leg
Ø60 mm frame tubes provide high load capacity under thick and heavy slabs.
Fast Erection
Only three main components; frames are connected with diagonals into a single-piece tower in a short time.
Fits Every Storey
Base and head jacks adjust the height precisely to every storey.
Three Frame Sizes
Standard 150×110, 150×150 and 150×180 cm frames give the best layout for each load and plan.
As a Table Form
Ready formwork tables of 8-10 m² are moved with table trolleys and lifted between floors by crane with a lifting fork.
Ductile Iron Nut
The jacks use ductile iron nuts and a 6 or 8 mm thick flat base plate; a 5 mm pressed plate is also available on request.
Our Own Production
All components are manufactured in our factory from TSE-certified, pressure-tested tubes; additional parts are supplied quickly.
Engineering
We calculate the support spacing from the slab load and prepare the layout plan ourselves.
Applications
- High storeys and gallery slabs
- Thick and heavy reinforced concrete slabs
- Bridges, viaducts and deck construction
- Power plants and industrial buildings
- Metro, tunnel and deep excavation structures
- Table form applications on repetitive floors
Engineering
- The upper structure of the table form consists of plywood, secondary beams and primary beams.
- The lengths of the primary and secondary beams are set for each project and slab plan.
- We calculate the support spacing of the primary and secondary beams from the slab load.
- Frame size and tower spacing are chosen according to slab thickness and storey height.
- We prepare offers for sale or rental, according to your needs.
Safe Erection and Use
- Erect the system according to the layout plan we prepare.
- Place the towers on firm, level ground and level them with the base jacks.
- Do not extend the jacks beyond the maximum length given in the manual.
- Do not load the formwork until the frames are fully connected with diagonal and horizontal members.
- Distribute the load evenly over the towers while pouring concrete.
- Use only components manufactured and certified by us together.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a table-type shoring tower?
It is a shoring system built from prefabricated welded frames connected with diagonal braces and adjusted in height with jacks, carrying the slab formwork. Thanks to its high load capacity it is preferred under heavy and high slabs.
How much load does Tableframe carry?
Each leg of a Tableframe frame carries a standard load of up to 55 kN; for higher loads the system can be designed to your requirements. Tower spacing and layout are calculated from the slab load.
Which standard does it comply with?
Tableframe is manufactured in accordance with EN 12813 (TS EN), the standard for load-bearing towers of prefabricated components.
Which frame sizes are available?
There are three standard frame sizes: 150 × 110 cm, 150 × 150 cm and 150 × 180 cm.
How is the height adjusted?
Ø48 mm base and head jacks adjust the height precisely to every storey. The jacks are 75 - 120 cm long and are used with a ductile iron nut.
Can it be used as a table form?
Yes. Formwork tables of 8 - 10 m² prepared with H20 beams are moved mainly with table trolleys; where needed, they can also be moved on castors fitted to the legs. With a special lifting fork they are lifted between floors by crane.
What is the difference between Tableframe and Towerframe?
Tableframe, with its large Ø60 mm frames and 55 kN per leg, is preferred especially under high and heavy slabs. Towerframe is erected quickly by hand with light H modules of about 7 kg and can be moved by crane in one piece.
Is rental available?
Yes. We offer the Tableframe shoring tower for both sale and rental. Use the "Request a Quote for This Product" button to get an offer.
