Overview
Table shifting devices by Doka enable faster slab-forming workflows by eliminating crane operations for many horizontal and vertical repositioning tasks. This streamlines site logistics, reduces crane waiting times and frees crane capacity for other tasks, improving overall site productivity and contractor competitiveness.

Fast construction workflows

• Reduces reliance on cranes and shortens crane cycles to optimise site logistics
• Self-climbing Table Lifting System (TLS) enables independent operation at height without crane support

High safety

• Ergonomic, ground-level repositioning with Doka shifting appliances minimizes risky operations at height
• Vertical repositioning with TLS can continue in wind conditions up to 72 km/h (system limits apply)
• TLS provides all-round fall-arrest barriers and integrated safety devices to protect site crews

Cost reductions

• Quick, simple positioning of tables reduces cycle times and labour requirements
• Table areas up to 12.5 m² can be repositioned by a single operator (equipment dependent)
• Craneless vertical repositioning cycles (TLS) shorten floor-to-floor transfer times and free crane capacity

Horizontal — Key products & features
DoKart plus

• Compact, high-mobility unit for ergonomic, single-operator horizontal shifting of tableforms
• Designed for everyday site use with large wheels, high ground clearance and robust baseplate
• High lifting/handling capacity (example: up to 2,000 kg) and fast lift speed (approx. 8 cm/s)

Doka shifting trolley (DF)

• Hydraulically lowers and travels tableforms for craneless horizontal repositioning up to approx. 12.5 m² with one operator
• Drive unit DF can be combined to provide safe, swift translational movements

Vertical by crane — Key products & features
Transport fork DM (adjustable)

• Adjustable transport fork available in rated capacities (e.g., DM 1.5 t / 1,500 kg; DM 2.5 t / 2,500 kg)
• Foldable for transport; several fork-width settings to fit table formats; latch-type anti-slide guard for safe insertion

Dokamatic lifting strap (13.00 m)

• Used for hoisting tableform superstructures and ready-to-use tables; designed for easy fixing and detaching from ground level

Loading platform

• Enables fast transfer of Dokamatic tables onto the lifting strap or crane for upward transport

Vertical without crane — Table Lifting System (TLS)

• TLS saves crane time by enabling craneless vertical repositioning and continuous repositioning cycles
• Supports automatic operation for efficient one-button repositioning; can be ground-mounted or converted to a climbing unit for any structure height
• Self-climbing TLS provides 100% automatic jumps and further reduces crane dependency

Safety features of TLS and related systems

• Proven site-hoist technology with multiple safeguards and certified installation procedures
• Firm anchoring to the structure, inward-opening landing gates and safety push-buttons on each storey
• Slip-proof, weather-resistant platform decking for stable working surfaces

References / Use cases
Widely used in building projects (high-rise, residential and commercial structures, hospitals, etc.) to accelerate slab cycles and reduce crane use; technical documentation and project references available.
