PERI optimises its flexible Variokit VGK

Especially with pier heads or complex geometries, VGK can be used as lightweight work platforms for walls that slope forwards and backwards. The platforms are available in three widths for a wide range of requirements. The VARIOKIT standard components available for rent make the system particularly economical.

For short bridge superstructures up to 200m long, the VGK Cantilevered Parapet Bracket is a safe, rational and efficient solution in new construction and refurbishment projects. Lightweight, hand-mounted system components facilitate easy operation and efficient working. The construction with separate platform and formwork unit features penetration-free decking and provides the best possible protection for the on-going flow of traffic below.

The VGK is anchored to the underside of the bridge. As a result, it does not disturb work operations on the upper side of the superstructure at any time.

There is high level of protection for the on-going flow of traffic below due to the penetration-free surface. Setting up is efficient thanks to simple, manual assembly and continuous adjustment together with a separate formwork unit.

A roundabouts way of lighting

One of Europe’s first smart lighting systems specifically for roudabouts is operating in Hungary and making big energy savings for local government, explains Miklós Muranyi*

Doka climbs high with UniKit system

Whether for bridges, tunnels, power plant or high-rise buildings, on the basis of modular standard components, cost-effective complete shoring solutions can be developed for every application. Together with Doka’s formwork solutions, infrastructure and high-rise projects can be completed efficiently, safely and without interfaces, all from a single source.

Doka is also taking scaffolding to new heights by debuting the DIBt-certified scaffold Ringlock under the AT-PAC brand. The strategic partnership with AT-PAC, a market leader in industrial scaffolding, has been in place since 2020 giving Doka a strong global presence which is expanding.

Recognising the growing importance of sustainability, Doka has calculated the “product carbon footprint” of most of its 6,000 products as a way of steering towards net-zero carbon emissions. Doka is also detailing the carbon footprint of a large proportion of the bauma exhibits and products on display. In addition, visitors will learn more about the Umdasch Group's initiatives at its own sustainability counter on the Doka stand.

The focus is Doka’s UniKit system

Kramer improves the electric 5055e loader

The new cost-efficient and emission-free electric drive enables work in buildings and noise-sensitive areas. The 5055e is very compact and, due to the all-wheel steering, is extremely manoeuvrable. One electric motor is installed for the drive system that provides a high level of performance with good resolution.

It has a dump reach of 320mm, a dumping height of 2,350mm. Total height, with the cabin, is 2,390mm and width is 1,650mm. Ground clearance is 280mm, operating weight is 4,150kg and maximum speed is 17kph.
