OverviewThe VARIOKIT VST Heavy‑Duty Shoring Tower is a modular shoring system engineered for central transfer of very large loads in bridge and industrial construction. It can be erected as a single tower, interconnected birdcage scaffold or main‑beam frame using bolted, pre‑assembled segments to accelerate onsite assembly.
Key benefits / in action- Fast assembly: bolted connections and pre‑assembled tower modules up to 10 m reduce erection time.
- Height adjustment under load: moving hydraulics operate the head spindle for controlled raising and lowering while loaded.
- High load capacity: documented capacities up to approx. 700 kN per leg (project- and standard-dependent).
- Flexible configurations: individual towers, main‑beam frames and birdcage scaffolds possible to match project demands.
- Logistics & availability: system components available via PERI rental parks for project‑based supply.
ApplicationsTemporary support where centralized transfer of very large loads is required: bridge works (spans, arches, bearings), abutments and piers, heavy industrial installations, and special assembly sites requiring high temporary load capacity.
Variations- 4‑leg towers: standard footprint 2 m × 2 m; configurable up to 6.50 m × 6.50 m to meet static requirements.
- Towers with additional legs: increase local load capacity in high‑load zones, enabling in‑situ doubling of bearing capacity.
- Birdcage scaffold: connect individual tower frames to increase cross‑sectional stiffness in the transverse direction.
- Main beam frames: used for abutments and piers; system can be implemented as main beam frames up to 10 m head‑support height (with head support).
