Lightweight formwork RAPID

framecolumncircular column

Overview
PERI RAPID is a crane-handled column formwork system engineered for architectural concrete surfaces and sharp-edged column profiles. A patented clamping principle secures the formlining to the aluminium frame, eliminating nail or screw impressions and enabling full-surface lining panels for high-quality visible concrete finishes. RAPID is rated for exceptionally high fresh concrete pressures and supports crane-moving as a complete unit with props and concreting platform.

Key features

• Visible concrete surfaces without nail, screw or panel-joint marks thanks to clamped formlining.
• Freely selectable formlining; milled panels enable sharp-edged column cross-sections.
• Crane-movable as a complete assembly including push-pull props and concreting platform (circular and rectangular variants).
• Fast basic assembly: lightweight aluminium element frames and a simple clamping principle for rapid panel fixing.

Applications
Designed for architectural and structural columns on building sites and precast yards where high-quality exposed concrete and efficient handling are required. Suitable for square and rectangular columns and oversized sections with additional anchoring.
