New products increase productivity, profits and safety
B.E.P. Forming Systems has three new products for the concrete contracting market.
The Eliminator is the world’s first all-aluminum lightweight clamping forming system and promises to speed production by as much as 50 percent.
The Big Expander, Expanding Filler System, with its built-in capacity to expand up to 32 inches, offers contractors the first-ever all-in-one forming system.
The Combo Panel & Brickledge System is an innovative solution for quickly forming ledges on poured walls. All three products are now available.
The Eliminator is a versatile forming system which requires no pins, wedges or bolts when setting forms. Instead, it utilizes a powerful, easy-to-use clamp that significantly speeds project completion as it increases project accuracy. Weighing only 5.5 pounds per square foot, and available in heights from one to 10 feet and lengths from one to 21 feet, the system can be easily crane- or hand-set with a standard crane or even with a boom attachment on a skid-steer loader. Designed primarily for use in the commercial market, the Eliminator features rotating panels, giving the contractor ultimate flexibility in placement, is compatible with all traditional forming systems found on the market today, takes re-ply costs and waste down to zero, and increases worker safety.
With the premiere of the Big Expander, Expanding Filler System, B.E.P. has become the only form manufacturer to offer forming panels with the capacity to expand on the spot. The system effectively eliminates the need to purchase additional filler panels to form box bays, corners, or complex foundation elevations. The Big Expander System is compatible with all face-sheet connections and attaches with a simple pin and wedge or bolt.
The B.E.P. Combo Panel & Brickledge System offers contractors two alternatives to traditional ledge systems. The Combo Panel, based on the Big Panel design, encompasses B.E.P.’s reusable Power Taper Ties and allows contractors to set a 6-, 9-, 12- or even 21-foot-long by 4-foot-deep ledge in seconds, using a simple, attached ledge bar. The Brickledge System is an all aluminum ledge that installs on any aluminum form outfitted with utility holes. It is offered in a wide range of sizes from 6 to 16 inches in height and one to 21 feet in length, giving contactors ultimate flexibility. Labour costs go down, as does the need for replacing costly equipment and supplies. “Contractors want to be more efficient; they want to automate the setting and stripping process, reduce waste, increase productivity and profits, yet do all that in safe way. These three products allow them to do that,” states Jennie Peacock, vice president of B.E.P Forming Systems, Inc. “A contractor recently shared that since using B.E.P.’s innovative products, he’s had no workers’ comp claims, and has even seen his insurance premiums drop.
