OverviewThe rentable balanced cantilever carriage VARIOKIT VBC is a modular solution for bridge superstructure construction using the balanced cantilever method. It combines specially developed load-bearing components with VARIOKIT core elements to create a complete supporting structure that can be supplied rapidly. The equipment is configurable to accommodate diverse bridge cross-sections, radii and longitudinal/transverse slopes.
Key features and benefits- Fast construction cycles: enables concreting of segments up to 5.75 m long for reduced casting frequency.
- Integrated hydraulics: precise positioning and handling for dimensionally accurate results.
- Rentable modular components: load-bearing parts combined with VARIOKIT core elements for quick availability.
- Flexible adaptation: configurable for a wide range of cross-sections including box girder solutions.
- Compatibility with PERI UP: simple integration for modular working platforms and safe access to all work areas.
- Cost optimisation: system concept and project-specific engineering support economical solutions.
Applications- Construction of bridge superstructures using the balanced cantilever method.
- Projects requiring high-capacity temporary structures and fast, dimensionally-accurate concreting.
- Sites needing integrated working platforms and access in combination with PERI UP scaffolding.
Technical characteristics / specifications- Concreting segment length: up to 5.75 m (typical application example).
- Integrated hydraulic systems for positioning and handling.
- High load-bearing capacity suitable for heavy cantilever loads.
- System type: VARIOKIT VBC balanced cantilever carriage—rentable system components plus VARIOKIT core components.
- Compatibility: combinable with PERI UP modular scaffolding for platforms and access.
