Alu Skydeck Formwork System – Lightweight Aluminum Slab Formwork with Drophead Early Stripping for Construction & Real Estate
[Product Overview]
TheAlu Skydeck Formwork Systemis a lightweight aluminum panel slab formwork system widely used inresidential, commercial, and real estate development projects worldwide. Designed with an innovative drophead (early striking) mechanism, this system allows formwork panels and beams to be removed after just one day, while the dropheads continue supporting the concrete slab until it reaches full strength.
Compared to traditional timber or steel slab formwork, the Alu Skydeck system offers faster cycle times, fewer props, and significantly lower labor costs, making it the preferred choice for high-rise building construction.
【Why Choose Alu Skydeck Formwork System？】
Drophead Early Striking System– Formwork can be removed after 24 hours; dropheads remain to support the slab. A single hammer blow lowers the formwork by 60mm for quick striking.
Ultra-Lightweight Components – Each panel and main beam weighs only ~15.5 kg, enabling one-person handling without cranes.
Very Low Prop Density – Only 0.29 props per m²of slab formwork, providing more open workspace and easier material movement.
Fast Assembly & Systematic Workflow – Panel size determines prop position; simple, repeatable sequence allows even unskilled workers to learn quickly.
High Slab Thickness Capacity– Supports slabs up to109 cm thick when configured with 150cm main beams and 75cm panels.
Easy Cleaning & Maintenance – Powder-coated aluminum surfaces and undercut panel edges make cleaning fast and simple.
[Key Applications – Real Estate & Construction]
