Modular Octagonal Masts

/// Schwing simplifies the process of mounting and erecting separate placing booms with the new modular octagonal mast design. This innovative system provides value, convenience and a world-wide solution for all Schwing separate placing boom applications.

/// Simply assemble the four or six-meter sections to create the mast length that best suits your project’s needs. Transporting and handling the modular sections is simplified and 16 reusable bolts are all that is needed to join the sections. The strength of the modular sections allows free-standing applications to 70-feet for 32-meter booms and 50-feet for 39-meter units with out counterweight. The modular system also allows rapid changes in the field if project requirements dictate a switch in length or type of mounting. Accessories can also be easily added thanks to brackets welded on each mast section that accept convenient ladder/pipeline holders allowing fast installation with no tools required. Standard length ladders with bolt on back protectors and a galvanized expandable metal work platform are also available to give workers a stable environment when mounting or operating a placing boom.

/// The same octagonal mast works in free-standing, self climbing and non-climbing slab-supported applications. The floor frame used to position the mast in slabs is now a four-part assembly that is easier to handle and reposition. The self-climbing option connects to pre-welded tabs on each mast section for attachment of the jacking cylinders. This octagonal system also adapts well to applications with climbing form work.
