One Stop Concrete Formwork Clamps Sourcing

Wellmade Formwork Clamps 

Wellmade formwork clamps are also called shuttering clamps and concrete form clamping. It is used popularly in beam formwork, slab formwork, wall formwork, column formwork, table formwork, climbing formwork and soffits, steel stanchions, etc.

As a lead formwork clamp manufacturer in China, Wellmade manufactures all types of formwork clamps. They are popularly used in concrete shuttering and forming systems. You can find galvanized, painted and powder coated formwork clamps here. In addition, the formwork clamp tensioners and tightener tools are available too.

According to formwork clamp fabrications, there are forged type, pressed type, and ductile cast iron type formwork clamps. While forged type formwork clamps are the most durable concrete clamps. Thus it is requested by global famous formwork engineer companies.  But forged formwork clamps are slow in production fabrication and higher in cost.

Among the different types of formwork clamps, ductile cast iron formwork clamps are the cheapest formwork clamps. Thus It is more popular than forged formwork clamps in construction.

According to the formwork clamp company brand, you can find Doka formwork clamps, Peri formwork clamps, etc. They are able to utilize steel, aluminum, and timber formwork systems.

Wellmade concrete formwork clamps fix and rigid the formwork system components quickly. In the concrete shuttering, the formwork clamps secure the formwork components. Like formwork panels, corners, brackets, walers, film-faced plywood floorings, and formwork beams, propping, etc.

Using the formwork clamping system makes your construction concrete and shuttering more efficient in time and labor. It is no need for any extra bolts and nuts. In addition, it is also easy to remove from the concrete formwork system too.

More than that, Wellmade formwork clamps are compatible with different types of formwork systems. You can use the concrete shuttering clamps in the steel metal forms, while they are also able to fix aluminum formwork systems and timber formwork systems.

Formwork Wedge Lock Clamp

Wedge lock formwork clamp is also called a quick-acting clamp or wedge lock formwork key. The quick-acting formwork wedge lock clamps are adjustable. While adjustable lengths make the quick-acting formwork clamps compatible with different sizes and shapes of formwork frames and panels.

You can find Doka forged steel formwork wedge lock clamps here. While ductile cast iron wedge lock formwork clamps are also available. Both of them are able to be finished in galvanizing(zinc-plated) for durable purposes and repeat concrete work.  The weight of the formwork wedge lock key clamp is customized from 1.4-3.5KG.

Adjustable Formwork Universal Clamp

Adjustable formwork clamp is also called formwork universal clamps, shuttering universal lock, or multifunctional formwork clamps.  It is designed for longer adjustable ranges than the quick lock formwork wedge clamps. You can find Doka forged adjustable formwork clamps, Peri pressed steel adjustable universal clamps. While normal cast iron type adjustable formwork clamps are also available.

You can find silver or yellow galvanizing for the adjustable universal formwork clamps. In fabrication, the adjustable formwork universal clamps are much heavier than short quick-acting formwork wedge keys.

Formwork Rapid Clamps

Formwork rapid clamp includes formwork spring clamp and wedge clamp. Formwork spring clamps are manufactured from steel plates pressing with a spring on the clamps. Wellmade customs your formwork rapid clamps in sizes and rebar diameters. You can find painted, powder-coated, and galvanizing formwork spring rapid clamps.

Formwork wedge clamps are cast iron type of formwork clamps with wedges.  It is one type of rapid formwork clamps too.

Both formwork rapid clamps and wedge clamps need a tightener(tensioner) in concrete clamping and removing.

Formwork Clamps in Structure Propping

Formwork clamps are not only used for modular and symmetrical formwork systems. It is also used for structural propping systems.  The formwork clamping system is able to fix the shoring props to slab formwork floors, beams, etc.

Types of Formwork Column Clamps

Column clamps are types of formwork clamps used during the column formwork.  Column formwork is concrete forms used to form the column boxes. According to the column boxes types, the column formwork could be square, rectangular, circular(round), or special-shaped.

In column formwork concrete, the column sizes are always different. Thus the column clamps are always adjustable or extendible.  You can find 2 types of column clamps in Wellmade. One is straight column clamps, another one is L-shaped column clamps. Both of them are able to manufactured in galvanized or painted/coated finishing.

Using the column clamps you can form the different heights of the column formworks.  For high column formwork, you need to choose large/heavy formwork panels, corners, and components. Like Wellmade GW 120 Steel Ply Formwork System. Which is able to form a max 24m height columns.

Formwork Clamps FAQ Guide

Types of Formwork in Construction and Building

According to the material, you can find the following 7 formwork types for your construction:

• Steel Formwork
• Aluminum Formwork
• Timber Formwork
• Plywood Formwork
• Plastic Formwork
• Fabric Formwork

According to the purpose of formwork, you can find the following types of formwork systems:

• Column Formwork
• Wall Formwork
• Beam Formwork
• Slab Formwork
• Stair Formwork
• Soffit Formwork

Metal Formwork Types

Metal formwork includes steel formwork and aluminum formwork.

Steel formwork is fabricated from steel structures. Mostly they are modular formwork systems that are easy to install in construction concrete and building. According to the steel structure specifications and grates, you can heavy duty, normal duty, and light-duty steel formwork. The different classes of steel formwork are chosen to bear different load requirements for concrete in construction.

Aluminum formwork is made from aluminum profiles. Compare to the steel formwork system, aluminum formwork components are lighter weight. For high load-bearing concrete, large formwork panels are chosen instead of aluminum formwork systems.

Wood Formwork Types

Wood formwork system is a type of traditional formwork type. It is compatible with all types of formwork systems, thus wood formwork has its own strengths using popular in nowadays. You can find solid timber formwork components and plywood formwork components for the wood formwork.

In the wood formwork, H20 beams and film-faced plywood is installed a lot in construction.  They are easy to form slab formwork, column formwork, and beam formwork in the concrete shuttering.

Falsework and Scaffolding

Falsework is a temporary support set that is used to support forms of concrete. The falsework framework needs to be last until the buildings and structures are able to support themselves. Thus falsework is very important and necessary for concrete forming.

Falsework frameworks need to be strong enough. Because it needs to bear all load during the concrete. Include concrete, pouring, forms, construction equipment, and workers. For safety purposes, the falsework safety calculation needs to consider the safety factors before using them in formwork design.

Scaffolding materials are part of the falsework support system. They form propping and soffit support in the falsework system. According to the falsework types and bearing classes, you can choose heavy-duty scaffold shoring systems and normal duty, light duty scaffold systems:

• High Load Scaffold System: Shoring Frames, OD60mm Ring Lock Shore System, EN1065 Class D, and Class Scaffold Post Shores
• Normal Duty Scaffold System: Ringlock Scaffold, Cuplock Scaffold, Kwikstage Scaffold, Euro Frames
• Light Duty Scaffold System: Traditional Scaffolding Frame, Walk Through Frames, Light Weight Scaffold Shoring Jacks

Formwork System Installation and Dismantle

High-quality formwork systems help to form high-quality concrete forms in construction. You can find 5 requirements for a high quality of formwork materials:

1. Safety Load Capacity/Bearing Weight
2. High-Quality Welding Lines for Steel and Aluminium Formwork
