Self-Riser System

Self-Riser System
Each SureCore system is customized to
meet your specifi c project requirements.
Engineered and designed for any size core
your project requires.
With the fl ip of a few switches, all interior and
exterior formwork rises to the next level.
High-rise cores quickly
take shape with the
SureCore™ Self-Riser
The SureCore™ Self-Riser System is a cost-eff ective
core forming method, reducing labor, and increasing
productivity. This system allows core formwork to be
lifted without a crane. Simply fl ipping a few switches
moves the entire assembly, including platforms, plus
interior and exterior formwork, up another story.
“The jumping process is so simple…we’ve been
able to move quickly from fl oor to fl oor…”
Hydraulic cylinders lift the grid beams, working platforms,
placing boom, interior forms, and exterior forms. During
that time, the crane is available for other important tasks.
When the system is used with specially designed
Stripping Corners, no corner reassembly is required on
the interior form. The amount of stripping space required
can be as little as one inch and the core system will still
rise smoothly.
Cores can be poured simultaneously with the slab or
advance ahead of the fl oor construction.
The high load capacity of the gantry platform provides a
large storage area for small equipment, tool chests, and
other materials on top of the advancing core.
Placing the concrete from the working platform through
the SureBuilt Upper Deck Grate, rather than hinged
hatches atop the core, provides safer working conditions.
The use of Taper Ties means no forming hardware is
sacrifi ced, reducing costs and increasing productivity.
The SureCore™ Self-Riser System allows you to
construct high-rise cores faster and more effi ciently than
other conventional core forming construction methods.

Gangforms are designed and preassembled
before being delivered to the job site.
The forms are crane handled for the initial
pour, but become part of the Self-Riser
System for the remaining stories.
Hydraulic cylinders attach to a landing bracket
anchored to the interior wall of the core.

Crane-free and pain-free
approach to elevator and
stairwell core forming
The SureCore™ Self-Riser system reduces labor costs,
set-up time, and boosts effi ciency because contractors
receive pre-assembled gangs and do not need to build
forms on the job site.
Elevator and stairwell core forms are customized for
each project and pre-assembled for installation at the
starter wall of the core. The system includes:
• Hydraulic cylinders
• Plumbing braces
• Wall landing brackets
• Grid beam support
• Control panel
• Form trolleys
Once the cylinder jack brackets and wall form landing
brackets are installed, the interior forms are set in place.
Steel grid beams are attached to support brackets and
exterior forms are hung from trolleys supported by the
grid beams.
Hydraulic ram units anchored to the previous pour level
elevate the entire grid beam system to the next pour
level. These single stroke units can move the entire Self
Riser System up to 20’ – reducing insert and labor costs,
while greatly improving overall cycle time.
“The time to move the forms is about half of
what it normally would have taken…”
Trailing platforms allow access to the previously poured
concrete. The exterior forms supported by the overhead
grid beams can easily be retracted. This provides
clearance for form cleaning and rebar placement.
Completely self-suffi cient, the SureCore™ Self-Riser
Core System can cycle every 2 – 3 days, without a tower
crane. Other phased activities stay on track and the
overall project becomes more effi cient and remains on
schedule.
